Simpson Strong-Tie® SET-3G™ 22 oz High-Strength Epoxy with Nozzle
The 22 oz side-by-side cartridge is the high-volume size of SET-3G, Simpson Strong-Tie's code-listed 1:1 epoxy for anchoring threaded rod and rebar. It is the size to choose for larger jobs, large-diameter anchors and post-installed rebar connections, and it runs in Simpson's manual, pneumatic and battery-powered 22 oz dispensers. SET-3G is evaluated for cracked and uncracked concrete under ICC-ES ESR-4057, including a Florida supplement with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone compliance, and for grouted and ungrouted masonry under ESR-4844.

Drill all holes with a rotary hammer. For threaded rod drill sizes, torque values and design data, see ICC-ES ESR-4057.
Installation Tips
- Drill with a rotary hammer to the bit diameter and embedment your design requires.
- Clean the hole with the blow-brush-blow method and the matching Simpson brush, or drill with the DXS vacuum dust-extraction system, which needs no further cleaning.
- Check the expiration date. In concrete below 70°F, warm the cartridge to at least 70°F first.
- Attach the included EMN22i nozzle, load the cartridge into an EDT22S, EDTA22P or EDTA22CKT tool and dispense to waste as directed on the label until the mix is uniform gray.
- Fill the hole from the bottom up. For horizontal and overhead work, use piston plugs with 1/2" and larger rod or #4 and larger bar.
- Insert the rod or bar, restrain horizontal and overhead installations, and leave them undisturbed for the full cure time before loading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy the 22 oz or the 8.5 oz cartridge?
Choose the 22 oz for larger jobs, large-diameter anchors and post-installed rebar connections. The 8.5 oz SET-3G fits the smaller CDT10S tool and suits smaller threaded rod and rebar anchor jobs.
Which dispensing tool do I need?
The 22 oz side-by-side cartridge requires a Simpson 22 oz dispenser: the EDT22S manual tool, the EDTA22P pneumatic tool or the EDTA22CKT battery-powered tool. It will not fit a standard caulking gun.
Can I use stainless steel threaded rod with SET-3G?
Yes. ESR-4057 covers ASTM A193 B6, B8 and B8M and ASTM F593 stainless rod, and permits stainless or hot-dip galvanized rod for exterior and damp exposures.
Can I use SET-3G in cold weather?
Only in concrete at 40°F or warmer, with cure times up to 192 hours at that temperature. For colder work or same-day loading, use AT-3G™.
Are there temperature conditions where SET-3G should not be used?
Do not use it where the in-service concrete temperature can swing from 40°F or below to 80°F or above within 12 hours, such as facade anchorage in direct sun.
