The Simpson ETS626 6-in. Steel Epoxy-Adhesive Screen Tube for 5/8-in. Rod from Simpson Strong-Tie is a purpose-built accessory for hollow base material anchoring applications. When anchoring threaded rod or rebar into hollow substrates, voids in the base material can cause adhesive to migrate away from the anchor, weakening the bond. This carbon steel screen tube is inserted into the drilled hole to contain the adhesive around the anchor and prevent it from running into those voids - ensuring thorough coating and a reliable bond between the rod, the screen tube, and the surrounding base material. Engineered specifically for use with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive, the 60 mesh construction precisely controls the amount of adhesive that passes through, resulting in consistent, repeatable performance on every installation.

Key Features

• 60 mesh carbon steel construction - precisely regulates adhesive flow through the mesh so every anchor receives thorough, even coating without waste or guesswork
• Designed exclusively for use with ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations - the mesh size is calibrated to this specific adhesive, so using the correct pairing is critical to achieving proper bonding performance
• Sized for 5/8-in. rod diameter - matches the rod and a 7/8-in. hole diameter for a correctly fitted installation that leaves no room for adhesive loss around the anchor
• 6-in. length - provides adequate coverage along the embedment depth for hollow base material anchoring, containing adhesive across the full bonded zone
• Contains adhesive around the anchor in hollow substrates - prevents the adhesive from flowing into voids in the base material, protecting bond integrity where solid-base anchoring methods would fail

Why This Product

• Engineered for hollow base material applications - unlike standard solid-substrate anchoring methods, this screen tube actively contains the adhesive within the hole, making it the correct solution when voids would otherwise allow adhesive to escape before it can cure and bond
• Adhesive-specific mesh design delivers consistent results - because the 60 mesh is calibrated to work with ET-3G epoxy adhesive, the amount of adhesive passing through the screen is precisely controlled, reducing the risk of under-bonding or adhesive waste on every installation
• Correct fit eliminates installation guesswork - with dimensions matched to a 5/8-in. rod and a 7/8-in. hole, this tube integrates directly into the Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G adhesive anchoring system without requiring field modification or adaptation
• Part of a complete Simpson Strong-Tie dispensing system - this screen tube is designed alongside Simpson Strong-Tie manual and pneumatic dispensing tools and accessories, so it fits naturally into an existing adhesive anchoring workflow rather than requiring a separate process

Frequently Asked Questions

What adhesive is this screen tube compatible with?

The ETS626 epoxy screen tube is specifically designed for use with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations. Using it with any other adhesive type is not recommended, as screen tubes are engineered to work with a specific adhesive in order to precisely control the amount of adhesive that passes through the mesh.

What rod diameter is the ETS626 designed to accommodate?

This screen tube is designed for a 5/8-in. rod diameter. The corresponding hole size for installation is 7/8 in., and the outside diameter of the screen tube itself is 25/32 in.

Why are screen tubes used in hollow base material applications?

Screen tubes are used in hollow base material applications to contain the adhesive around the anchor and prevent it from running into voids. This ensures thorough coating and bonding of the rod to both the screen tube and the base material, resulting in a strong, reliable connection.

What is the ETS626 screen tube made of?

The ETS626 screen tube is made from 60 mesh carbon steel, which provides the precise mesh sizing needed to control adhesive flow and achieve consistent, thorough coverage around the anchor rod.

Note: Screen tubes are designed for a specific adhesive type. This epoxy screen tube must be used exclusively with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G formulations. Always verify adhesive compatibility before installation.
