Product Description
The Simpson Opti-Mesh 8 in. Acrylic Adhesive Plastic Screen Tube for 3/4 in. Rod from Simpson is purpose-built to support reliable adhesive anchor installations in hollow or void-containing base materials such as hollow block and brick. Featuring a woven mesh insert, this Opti-Mesh screen tube combines the cost-effectiveness of a plastic screen tube with superior performance compared to steel screen tubes and competitive plastic screen tubes. Engineered exclusively for use with AT-XP acrylic adhesive, it delivers controlled, consistent adhesive flow so every anchor installation is secure and predictable.
Key Features
- Integral cap centers the rod and displays drill bit and rod diameter - takes the guesswork out of installation by keeping the rod properly aligned and confirming correct sizing at a glance.
- Flanges prevent the screen tube from slipping into over-drilled holes - provides a built-in safeguard against misplacement, helping maintain accurate anchor depth even when holes are drilled slightly deeper than intended.
- Formula-specific woven mesh design controls flow of adhesive out of the screen - ensures the right amount of adhesive reaches the anchor zone, reducing waste and promoting a consistent, high-strength bond.
- Open-mesh collar allows extra adhesive flow in hollow block applications - accommodates the unique demands of hollow substrates by enabling sufficient adhesive fill in voids for a complete and dependable anchor.
- Acrylic screen tubes must be used with AT-XP - compatibility is clearly defined so installers can be confident they are pairing the correct screen tube with the correct adhesive system, protecting anchor performance and safety.
