The Simpson Strong-Tie 17-in. Steel Epoxy-Adhesive Screen Tube for 3/4-in. Rod is a 60 mesh carbon steel screen tube engineered for hollow base material anchoring applications where adhesive containment is critical. Designed to work exclusively with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive, this screen tube holds adhesive firmly around the anchor, preventing it from migrating into voids and ensuring thorough, consistent coating and bonding of the rod to both the screen tube and the surrounding base material.

Key Features

• Designed for use with ET-3G formulations only - ensures compatibility is never left to chance, protecting bond integrity and overall anchoring performance in hollow base material applications
• 60 mesh carbon steel construction - precisely controls the amount of adhesive that passes through the mesh, resulting in thorough, even coating of the rod and reliable bonding to the base material
• Sized for 3/4-in. rod diameter - matches the rod correctly so the screen tube fits as intended, eliminating guesswork when selecting the right component for your application
• Requires a 1-in. hole - the 31/32-in. outside diameter fits cleanly within a 1-in. drilled hole, keeping installation straightforward and consistent
• 17-in. length - provides sufficient coverage along the anchor embedment depth for hollow base material applications requiring reliable adhesive containment
• Caution - screen tubes are adhesive-specific - using only the specified ET-3G formulation with this epoxy screen tube safeguards bonding results and prevents performance issues caused by incompatible adhesives

Why This Product

• Engineered adhesive control for hollow substrates - the 60 mesh carbon steel design regulates exactly how much ET-3G epoxy passes through, so adhesive coats the rod thoroughly and stays where it belongs rather than running into voids
• A purpose-matched component for 3/4-in. threaded rod - because the screen tube is sized specifically for 3/4-in. rod in a 1-in. hole, contractors get a predictable, repeatable fit without adapting a general-purpose product to an application it was not built for
• Part of the Simpson Strong-Tie dispensing system - this screen tube is designed to integrate with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G adhesive and the broader range of Simpson Strong-Tie dispensing tools and accessories, keeping your anchoring workflow consistent from adhesive to finished installation
• Carbon steel durability for demanding anchoring work - the carbon steel mesh holds its shape during installation, maintaining proper adhesive flow and containment even in demanding hollow base material conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

What adhesive must be used with the ETS7517 screen tube?

The ETS7517 epoxy screen tube must be used exclusively with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G formulations. Screen tubes are designed for a specific adhesive type, and using an incompatible adhesive may compromise performance and bonding results.

What rod diameter is the ETS7517 screen tube designed for?

The ETS7517 is designed for use with a 3/4-in. rod diameter. The outside diameter of the screen tube is 31/32 in., which is larger than the rod diameter, and requires a 1-in. hole.

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 the screen tube and the base material.

What is the ETS7517 screen tube made from?

The ETS7517 screen tube is made from 60 mesh carbon steel, which is engineered to precisely control the amount of ET-3G epoxy adhesive that passes through the mesh for consistent and reliable bonding results.
