Frequently Asked Questions

What adhesive formulation must be used with this screen tube?

This Opti-Mesh screen tube is designed specifically for use with the SET-3G epoxy adhesive formulation. Epoxy screen tubes must not be substituted with screen tubes designed for other adhesive types, as each screen tube is formula-specific to ensure proper adhesive flow and anchor performance.

What rod diameter and hole size is this screen tube compatible with?

This screen tube is designed for a 3/8 in. rod diameter and requires a 9/16 in. hole size. The integral cap conveniently displays both the required drill bit size and rod diameter to help prevent installation errors.

Why use a plastic screen tube instead of a steel screen tube?

The Simpson Strong-Tie Opti-Mesh screen tube with woven mesh insert provides the economical advantage of a plastic screen tube while delivering superior performance to both steel screen tubes and competitive plastic screen tubes, making it a cost-effective yet high-performing choice for adhesive anchor applications.

What prevents the screen tube from slipping into an over-drilled hole?

The screen tube is equipped with flanges that prevent it from slipping into over-drilled holes, helping to maintain proper positioning during adhesive dispensing. Additionally, the open-mesh collar allows extra adhesive flow specifically in hollow block applications where voids are present.
