Why is the shear strength of the Tapcon® concrete screw less in brick and lightweight hollow block than it is in concrete?
Designated holding power of a concrete screw depends on the quality of the base material, depth of the embedment and proper hole size. The Tapcon® concrete screw’s holding values are in no way guaranteed by Concrete Fastening Systems Inc., because we can not know the strength of your base material that the concrete screw is being installed into.
