The Simpson 17" Stainless-Steel Screen Tube for AT-XP Adhesive, 3/4" Rod is a precision-engineered anchoring accessory built specifically for use with AT-XP adhesive in hollow base material applications. Designed to work with a 3/4" rod and fit within a 1" drilled hole, this screen tube keeps adhesive contained around the anchor and prevents it from running into voids, ensuring thorough coating and a reliable bond between the rod, the screen tube, and the surrounding base material.

Key Features

• Engineered for AT-XP adhesive compatibility - the mesh is precisely calibrated to control how much adhesive passes through, delivering consistent coverage and bonding performance in hollow base material applications.
• Stainless steel construction - provides lasting corrosion resistance and durability, making this screen tube well-suited for demanding anchoring environments where long-term performance matters.
• Intentional outside diameter sizing at 31/32" - fits correctly within the 1" drilled hole while maintaining adequate clearance for proper adhesive distribution around the 3/4" rod.
• 17" length matched to rod and hole requirements - ensures full coverage along the anchor depth so adhesive containment is maintained throughout the entire bonded zone.
• Void-prevention mesh design - stops adhesive from escaping into hollow cavities, so the bond develops where it needs to and structural integrity is not compromised.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built pairing with AT-XP adhesive - selecting a screen tube matched to a specific adhesive type eliminates guesswork, so installers can be confident the mesh and adhesive work together as intended rather than relying on a generic solution.
• Reliable adhesive control in hollow substrates - by containing the adhesive and preventing it from running into voids, this tube helps ensure the rod is fully and evenly coated, reducing the risk of weak or incomplete bonds.
• Stainless steel for long-term durability - the corrosion-resistant material means the screen tube holds up in moisture-prone or chemically active environments without degrading and compromising the anchoring system.
• Simpson quality with domestic manufacturing - backed by the Simpson brand and made in the United States, this accessory reflects the engineering consistency that structural anchoring applications demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What adhesive is this screen tube designed to be used with?

This screen tube is specifically designed to work with AT-XP adhesive. The mesh is engineered to precisely control the amount of AT-XP adhesive that passes through, resulting in thorough coating and bonding of the rod to the screen tube and base material.

What is the purpose of a screen tube in an anchoring application?

Screen tubes are used in hollow base material applications to contain adhesive around the anchor and prevent it from running into voids. This ensures that the adhesive is properly distributed around the rod for a reliable bond.

Why is the outside diameter of the screen tube larger than the rod diameter?

The actual outside diameter of the screen tube is intentionally larger than the rod diameter. For this model, the outside diameter is 31/32" while the rod diameter is 3/4". This sizing allows the screen tube to fit properly within the 1" drilled hole and ensures adequate space for adhesive distribution around the rod.

How should I select the correct screen tube for my application?

Screen tubes should be ordered based upon rod diameter and adhesive type. The ATS7517 is the correct choice when working with a 3/4" rod diameter and AT-XP adhesive, requiring a 1" drilled hole in the base material.
