LENTON® Position Couplers

Print this page

LENTON® Position couplers are designed to splice two curved, bent, or straight bars, when neither bar can be rotated.

Features

Unique self-aligning taper-threaded design provides continuity and structural integrity
Spliced bars behave as continuous lengths of reinforcing steel bars by providing full strength in tension, compression and stress reversal applications
Designed to withstand man-made blasts, and other seismic events
Quick and easy to install
Develops higher tensile strength than lap splicing
Provides full load transfer with the slimmest and shortest coupler possible

Applications

Designed to splice two curved, bent, or straight bars, when neither bar can be rotated

P8 & P13 - designed to splice bars where the ongoing bar is restricted in its axial movement or can not be rotated and length adjustability of the coupler is required.
P9 & P14 - designed to splice bars which cannot be rotated (such as bent bars or hooks)
P15 - designed to quickly splice column sections or precision coupling of elements with mutiple bars joined over a short span, such as prefabricated elements and the closing of small temporary openings

May be used for the splicing of prefabricated cages.
