Range of Couplers

Range of Couplers

The Ancon range includes the following:

Ancon Tapered Thread Couplers

Ancon Tapered Thread couplers are designed to suit the majority of applications which require the joining of reinforcing bars. The bar ends are cut square and a tapered thread is cut onto the bar to accept the coupler. This is then tightened onto the bar using a calibrated torque wrench.

MBT Mechanically Bolted Couplers

The MBT range is used when it is not convenient to prepare the bar ends to suit threaded couplers. The bars are supported on two serrated saddles within the coupler and are locked in place by a series of lockshear bolts.

Bartec Parallel Threaded Couplers

The Bartec system is one of the smallest couplers in the Ancon range. The bar ends are enlarged and a parallel thread is cut onto the bar to suit the coupler, which is then tightened using a pipe or chain wrench.

Bar X-L Parallel Threaded Couplers

Bar X-L parallel threaded couplers are particularly appropriate for applications where fatigue is an issue. The bar ends are cut square and are marginally enlarged. The parallel thread is then rolled onto the ends to accept the coupler and the installation is completed using a pipe or chain wrench to tighten the sleeve.

This product is only available in selected territories in Mainland Europe. Please contact Ancon for locations.

Starter Bars

Starter Bars are used to provide continuity of reinforcement at construction joints and to remove the need to cut or drill the formwork. The starter bar system is based on the tapered thread coupler and consists of a threaded bar connected to a coupler and nail plate.
