The Simpson 10x3/8 Carbon Steel Screen Tube for Epoxy ETS3710 is a 60 mesh carbon steel screen tube built for hollow base material anchoring applications where adhesive containment is critical. Engineered by Simpson specifically for use with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive, this screen tube holds adhesive in place around the anchor and prevents it from flowing into voids within the base material. The precisely calibrated mesh controls how much adhesive passes through, promoting thorough coating and a reliable bond between the threaded rod, the screen tube, and the surrounding base material.

Key Features

• Designed exclusively for ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations - ensures the mesh calibration matches the adhesive's viscosity so the correct amount flows through, preventing under-bonding or waste
• 60 mesh carbon steel construction - precisely regulates adhesive flow through the screen, delivering consistent, thorough coating around the rod for a dependable anchor
• Sized for 3/8-in. rod diameter - matches the rod and hole dimensions directly, reducing guesswork and simplifying product selection on the job
• Prevents adhesive from migrating into voids - keeps epoxy contained around the anchor in hollow base material applications, protecting bond integrity where it matters most
• 10-in. length with a 15/32-in. outside diameter - fits a 9/16-in. hole for a snug installation that supports proper adhesive distribution along the full embedment depth

Why This Product

• Purpose-matched for hollow base material anchoring - rather than a generic screen, this tube is engineered specifically to contain epoxy adhesive around the anchor and block it from running into voids, directly addressing the core challenge of anchoring into hollow substrates
• Adhesive-specific mesh calibration builds a stronger bond - because the 60 mesh carbon steel screen is matched to ET-3G formulations, adhesive passes through at the right rate to coat and bond the rod to both the screen tube and the base material thoroughly
• Simpson Strong-Tie system compatibility reduces installation risk - using a Simpson-engineered screen tube alongside Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G adhesive keeps the entire anchoring system within one tested product family, supporting consistent and predictable results
• Straightforward sizing simplifies procurement - the clearly specified 3/8-in. rod diameter and 9/16-in. hole size make it easy to confirm the right tube for the application before work begins, avoiding costly mismatches on site

Frequently Asked Questions

What adhesive is the Simpson ETS3710 screen tube compatible with?

The ETS3710 screen tube must be used with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations. Screen tubes are designed for a specific adhesive type, so it is important to verify adhesive compatibility before installation.

What rod diameter is the ETS3710 screen tube designed for?

The ETS3710 is designed for use with a 3/8-in. rod diameter. The corresponding hole size is 9/16 in., and the outside diameter of the screen tube is 15/32 in.

Why are screen tubes used in hollow base material applications?

Screen tubes are used in hollow base material applications to contain 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.

What is the length of the ETS3710 screen tube, and what is it made from?

The ETS3710 screen tube measures 10 in. in length and is made from 60 mesh carbon steel. The mesh construction precisely controls the amount of adhesive that passes through, resulting in consistent and reliable bonding performance.
