Simpson Strong-Tie® Acrylic Adhesive Screen Tube, Series: Opti-Mesh™, Plastic, 3/4 in Hole, 3-1/2 in L, For Use With: 1/2 in Dia Rod and Adhesive Anchors, White Mesh
- The Simpson Strong-Tie® Opti-Mesh screen features formula-specific mesh designed to control the flow of adhesive out of the screen
- The result is uniform coverage of adhesive on the rod
- The standard screen utilizes mesh which allows adhesive to flow freely out of the screen when the rod is inserted
- Too much adhesive is pushed out of the screen, leaving a large portion of the rod unbonded
- This unbonded rod will pull out of the screen at a much lower load than a rod installed with an Opti-Mesh screen
- The integral cap centers the rod and displays drill bit and rod diameter
- Integral cap serves to center and secure the rod in the screen tube, while displaying important information such as rod diameter, drill bit diameter and the Simpson Strong-Tie® not equal symbol for easy inspection after installation
- The cap also prevents adhesive from running out the front of the screen tube
- Flanges prevents the screen tube from slipping into over-drilled holes, allows screen tube to function in holes that are drilled too deep
- Open-mesh collar, this section of larger mesh allows extra adhesive to flow out the screen tube behind the face shell of hollow block applications
- The extra collar of adhesive increases bearing area and results in higher load capacities in hollow concrete block
- Color-coded, formula-specific mesh, the screen tube mesh is sized to allow only the right amount of adhesive to flow through the screen tube to bond with the base material while the balance remains in the screen to bond the rod
