Tension weight of Tapcons
Hello all,
I need to hang a d-ring from a cement overhead. I don't need to hold much weight 250-300 pounds at the absolute highest. I was just going to use some Tapcon screws but I can't find a clear chart about load bearing limits. Any one know them?

You're a genius! 
I looked all over for that dam thing. So 4 1/4" screws 1" deep gives me 3000 Pounds at the weakest concrete? That's loads then.
Thanks for the help.

I agree with PJ...and I should have said that before. I would never use Tapcons in a pull out situation like that except for the very lightest static loads like a light fixture.
