Installation
- Attach the hangers to concrete or GFCMU walls using hex-head Titen Turbo screws. Titen Turbo screw anchors for GFCMU (1/4" x 2 3/4" — Model TNT25234H) and for concrete (1/4" x 1 3/4" — Model TNT25134H) are not provided with the hangers.
- Drill and prep the holes according to the Installation Instructions provided with the packaging for Titen Turbo screw anchors.
- Caution: Oversized-diameter holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base material and will reduce the anchor’s load capacity.
- Titen Turbo Installation Kits are available (Model TNTINSTALLKIT). A 3/16" x 6" SDS-plus drill bit is also available (Model MDPL01860SH).
