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
