The Titen HD® Rod Coupler is designed to be used in conjunction with a single or multi-story rod tie-down system. This anchor provides a fast and simple way to attach threaded rod to a concrete stem wall or thickened slab footing. Unlike adhesive anchors, the installation requires no special tool, cure time or secondary setting process; just drill a hole and drive the anchor.

INSTALLATION
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with base material and will reduce the anchor's load capacity. Use a Titen HD® Rod Coupler one time only. Installing the anchor multiple times may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity.
- Drill a hole using the specified diameter carbide bit into the base material to a depth of at least 1/2" deeper than the required embedment.
- Blow the hole clean of dust and debris using compressed air. Overhead application need not be blown clean.
- Tighten the anchor with appropriate size socket until the head sits flush against base material .
