The Simpson 6-in. Steel Epoxy-Adhesive Screen Tube for 3/8-in. Rod is a precision-crafted carbon steel accessory built for hollow base material anchoring applications where adhesive containment is critical. Constructed from 60 mesh carbon steel, this screen tube is engineered to work exclusively with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive, precisely controlling the flow of adhesive through the mesh to ensure thorough coating and bonding of the threaded rod to both the screen tube and surrounding base material. By containing the adhesive around the anchor and preventing it from migrating into voids, it delivers reliable, consistent results in hollow substrate installations.

Key Features

• Designed exclusively for ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations - ensures compatibility and optimal adhesive flow control, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of installation error.
• 60 mesh carbon steel construction - precisely meters adhesive passage through the mesh for thorough, even coating of the rod and base material, resulting in a strong, dependable bond.
• Sized for 3/8-in. rod diameter - pairs correctly with standard 3/8-in. threaded rod, making it straightforward to match components without modification.
• Requires a 9/16-in. hole diameter in the base material - gives installers a clear, confirmed drilling target for a proper fit every time.
• 6-in. length with 15/32-in. outside diameter - fits precisely within the drilled hole to keep the screen tube seated and adhesive contained throughout curing.
• Prevents adhesive from running into voids in hollow base materials - contains the epoxy around the anchor where it is needed, protecting bond integrity in hollow substrates such as hollow block or brick.

Why This Product

• Purpose-matched adhesive control - the 60 mesh carbon steel screen is calibrated specifically for Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy, so the adhesive passes through at the right rate for complete rod encapsulation rather than pooling, dripping, or running into cavities.
• Reliable performance in hollow base material applications - by actively containing adhesive around the anchor and blocking migration into voids, this screen tube makes hollow substrate anchoring predictable and consistent, reducing failed embedments.
• Exact dimensional match for clean, confident installation - with a defined rod diameter, outside diameter, and required hole size all specified by Simpson Strong-Tie, contractors and installers can drill and set anchors to a known standard without trial and error.
• Part of an integrated Simpson Strong-Tie adhesive anchoring system - designed to pair with Simpson Strong-Tie dispensing tools and ET-3G adhesive, this screen tube slots into an existing ecosystem of compatible accessories built for efficient, accurate epoxy anchor installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which adhesive must be used with the ETS376 screen tube?

The ETS376 epoxy screen tube must be used exclusively with Simpson Strong-Tie ET-3G epoxy adhesive formulations. Screen tubes are designed for a specific adhesive type, and using a different adhesive with this screen tube is not recommended.

What rod diameter is the ETS376 screen tube designed for?

The ETS376 screen tube is designed for use with 3/8-in. diameter rod. The required hole diameter in the base material is 9/16 in., and the outside diameter of the screen tube itself 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 the adhesive around the anchor and prevent it from running into voids. The 60 mesh carbon steel construction of the ETS376 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.

What is the length of the ETS376 screen tube?

The ETS376 screen tube has a length of 6 in. and is manufactured from 60 mesh carbon steel to provide consistent adhesive distribution during the anchoring process.
