The Simpson 13x5/8 Carbon Steel Screen Tube for Epoxy ETS6213 is a 60 mesh carbon steel anchor screen tube engineered for hollow base material applications where reliable epoxy anchoring is critical. Designed by Simpson Strong-Tie specifically for use with ET-3G epoxy adhesive, this screen tube contains adhesive around the anchor rod and prevents it from migrating into voids, ensuring thorough coating and bonding of the rod to the screen tube and base material. Its precisely controlled mesh construction allows the right amount of adhesive to pass through for consistent, repeatable results in structural anchoring installations.

Key Features

• Exclusively compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive - ensures the mesh is calibrated to the correct adhesive viscosity, so adhesive flow and bond coverage perform as intended rather than being compromised by a mismatched product
• 60 mesh carbon steel construction - precisely controls the amount of adhesive that passes through the screen, resulting in thorough, uniform coating of the rod and dependable adhesion to the base material
• Sized for 5/8-in. rod diameter with a 7/8-in. hole size requirement - gives installers a clear, exact hole drilling target so the tube seats correctly and the anchor system performs to specification
• 13-in. length with a 25/32-in. outside diameter - provides adequate embedment depth for hollow base material anchoring while fitting properly within the drilled hole without over-filling or gaps
• Designed to contain adhesive around the anchor in hollow base materials - prevents epoxy from running into voids, which protects bond integrity and eliminates wasted adhesive in applications such as hollow masonry or block installations

Why This Product

• Purpose-matched mesh for ET-3G epoxy - because screen tubes are engineered for a specific adhesive type, choosing this tube with the correct ET-3G formulation means the mesh opening size is precisely right for that adhesive, giving you controlled flow and a thorough rod-to-base-material bond rather than guesswork
• Void containment that protects your anchor installation - the screen tube physically prevents adhesive from escaping into hollow cavities, so the epoxy stays exactly where it needs to be for a structurally sound connection in hollow base material applications
• Part of a complete Simpson Strong-Tie dispensing system - designed to pair with Simpson Strong-Tie adhesive tools and accessories, this screen tube integrates seamlessly into an efficient, coordinated anchoring workflow rather than requiring workarounds or adapters
• Carbon steel durability in a single-use anchor accessory - the 60 mesh carbon steel body holds its shape during insertion and adhesive dispensing, ensuring the screen does not collapse or deform before the epoxy has cured around the rod

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This epoxy screen tube must be used with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations. Screen tubes are designed for a specific adhesive type, so using any other adhesive is not recommended and may compromise performance.

What rod diameter is the ETS6213 screen tube intended for?

The ETS6213 is designed for use with a 5/8-in. diameter rod. The outside diameter of the screen tube is 25/32 in., which is larger than the rod diameter, as is standard for screen tube applications.

What hole size should be drilled when using the ETS6213?

The required hole size for the ETS6213 screen tube is 7/8 in. This allows the screen tube to be properly inserted into the base material before dispensing the ET-3G epoxy adhesive.

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. The 60 mesh carbon steel construction precisely controls the amount of adhesive that passes through, resulting in thorough coating and bonding of the rod to the screen tube and base material.
