Taper Threaded Rebar Splicing Systems

For many years, the traditional method of connecting reinforcing bars has been with lap splicing. But as many structural engineers, architects andspecifien have discovered, lap splicing has very few advantages and quite a few disadvantages when compared to mechanical splicing. Read through the following pages and explore the reasons why you should consider mechanical couplers.

The world's most widely-used I
LENTON Mechanical Splices from ERICO, are a taper-threaded splicing system that assures a positive locking connection, providing continuity and structural integrity to reinforced concrete construction. LENTON spliced bars behave as continuous lengths of reinforcing steel bars by providing "full strength" in tension, compression and stress reversal applications.

The LENTON self-aligning, taper-threaded design provides ease of installation, consistent performance and durability. It also develops higher tensile strength than lap splicing and provides full load transfer with the slimmest and shortest coupler possible.

Design BenellB
Allows maximum bar cross-section t o be used Smallest diameter in the industry reduces need for concrete cover and eliminates rebar congestion Short length and slim design ensure the least disturbance to uniform stiffness Splice strength is independent of rebar deformation Unique tapered thread requires no lock nuts and provides a positive locking, no-slip connection Any length, shape, diameter or combination of bar sizes can be mechanically spliced

ominal yield values up to 550 MPa and mile strength values up to 750 MPa.

bars necessary in the "lap zone" of a column. Use of lap splicing may exceed the concrete to steel ratio of many international standards. With LENTON splices, you can design smaller columns and create maximum floor space, while reducing your form costs. Form sizes can also be established for more cost savings, and LENTON couplers are excellent for future extension applications.

LENTON taper threaded couplers are manufactured from htgh strength, htgh qualiTy steel. All ERICQe design and manufacturing facilities are I S 0 9001-2000 registered.

Seismic Considerations Lap spltces may pull apart during seismic loads. LENTON couplers offer more strength than lap splices during sa~srnic,man-made blasts or other natural events as their uerformance is indeoendent of surrounding concret'e. LENTON c~u~lers'exceed AClmNBCIICC*Type I & Type 2 requirements. LENTON splices prov~de you with the ability t o design and build concrete structures that meet or exceed today's strrngent constructton codes and federal regulations regarding selsmic frame constructton. LENTON couplers are superior to other current methods of sulicin~ in withstandins setsmic, man-made blasts for rebar. and other natural events by proidtng reinforcingspl~ces

Mechanical Rebar Splidng System Provides:

A better way to design and build Continuity and structural integrity Compliance with international design codes Ease of installation Economy of design Many economic advantages Reduced shipping costs over other methods of splicing or anchoring Exceed Type 1 & Type 2 splice requiremen6

Provides Eontinuih! in Project Economics

LENTON reduces the amount of additional rebar that is required in a lap systerThe system can be installed in a matter of seconds, with no special skills or bulky equipment required. Construction schedules can be accelerated to achieve optimum costs. The benefit-to-cost ratio using the LENTON system is often superior t o lap splicing.

Corrosion Considerations
Corrosion increases the size of the rebar causing the concrete cover t o spall and crack. As lap splices depend on the "bond" between concrete and steel for strength, concrete degradation caused by corrosion results in lap splice failure. With LENTON couplers, structural integrity is maintained even with the loss of the concrete cover because mechanical couplers perform similar t o a continuous piece of rebar.

Lap splices transfer their load through the concrete and will fail as concrete cover degrades.

LENTON mechanical couplers perform amilar to a continuous length of rebar regardless of concrete cond~tion

are designed t o quickly splice two curved, bent, or straight bars, when neither bar can be rotated, and where the ongoing bar is restricted in its axial direction. Typical applications for these couplers are for the splicing of prefabricated cages. The PI3 position coupler can be supplied in two pieces for application against form work. The female parallel thread is corrosion protected with a plastic screw-in protection cap.

While all LENTON mechanical splices can be easily tightened with a standard pipe wrench in 4 t o 4-112 turns, ERICO' also supplies adjustable inspection wrenches. This wrench can be used to both install couplers and inspect torque values after installation.

These plates come in a variety of sizes and styles for connecting standard and position couplers t o wood forms. The form fixer can be attached t o the forrnwork before the anchor bar and coupler are fixed t o it All form fixers are easy to install and remove.
