Ancon Tapered Thread couplers are designed for the majority of applications which require the joining of rebar with diameters of 12 to 55mm.
The compact design of each coupler ensures suitability for use in confined situations where space is restricted or where the loss of cover must be minimized.
Types of Ancon TT Couplers
Standard Coupler
The Standard Tapered Thread coupler is suitable for connecting two bars of the same diameter, where one bar can be rotated.
Positional Coupler
The Ancon Tapered Thread Positional coupler is designed to be used
in applications in which neither bar can be rotated.
Transition Coupler
The Ancon Tapered Thread Transition coupler is used to join reinforcing bars of different diameters where one coupler can be rotated
The couplers can achieve failure loads higher than 115% of the characteristic load of the smaller rebar
Tapered Thread Weldable Couplers
Ancon Tapered Thread Weldable couplers provide a convenient
means of connecting reinforcing bars to structural steel plates or
sections
Tapered Thread Headed Anchors
The Tapered Thread Headed Anchor provides an alternative method of achieving rebar end anchorage within concrete
- no need for hooked rebar
- reduced congestion
- simplified bar placement
Installation of Ancon TT couplers
The coupler is normally put on the threaded reinforcing bar in the reinforcement shop. The internal threads of the coupler are protected with a plastic cap.
Plastic or rubber end caps are put onto the threaded bar ends.
After the continuation bar is put in the sleeve and rotated into the coupler, tighten the joint to the specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench on the continuation bar.
To ensure correct installation, tighten the joint to the specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench on the continuation bar.
