Tapered Thread Couplers

Tapered Thread couplers are suitable for the majority of applications which require the joining of rebars.

They are normally supplied fitted to the end of the threaded bar and require only the engagement and tightening of the adjoining bar on site using a calibrated torque wrench.

The Ancon range of Tapered Thread couplers are designed for use in concrete structures to meet the requirements of BS EN 1992-1-1: 2004 (Eurocode 2) and BS 8110 for mechanical splices.

Approvals

UK CARES Technical Report No. TA1-B (Sizes 12 – 50)

DIBt Approval No. Z-1.5-179. (Sizes 12 - 40)

TT Couplers (Sizes 12 - 40) are also compliant with BS 8597: 2015: Steels for the reinforcement of concrete. Reinforcement Couplers. Requirements and test methods.

Note: Not all coupler types and sizes are relevant to the national approvals shown. For details of coupler types and sizes relevant to each national approval please refer to the relevant approval document, which is available on request.

TTS Standard Couplers

Ancon Standard Tapered Thread Couplers are designed for use when connecting two bars of the same diameter, where one bar can be rotated. They are available to suit bar sizes 12mm to 50mm.

Note: For available sizes specific to the UK and Ireland, please download the Reinforcing Bar Couplers brochure on this page.

TTP Positional Couplers

Positional Tapered Thread Couplers are used to join two straight, bent or curved bars when neither bar can be rotated. Available to suit bar sizes 12mm to 50mm, they can also be used as a gap closer between two fixed bars. The male and female components provide a degree of adjustability and the connection is secured by the tightening of a locknut.

Note: For available sizes specific to the UK and Ireland, please download the Reinforcing Bar Couplers brochure on this page.

TTT Transition Couplers

The transition range is used to join rebars of different diameters when it is possible to rotate one bar, and is designed to achieve failure loads greater than 115% of the characteristic strength of the smaller diameter grade 500 bar. The couplers are designed to suit bar sizes 12mm to 50mm.

Note: For available sizes specific to the UK and Ireland, please download the Reinforcing Bar Couplers brochure on this page.

TTW Weldable Couplers

Tapered Thread Weldable couplers are used to connect reinforcing bars to structural steel sections or plates and are available to suit bar sizes 12mm to 50mm.

Note: For available sizes specific to the UK and Ireland, please download the Reinforcing Bar Couplers brochure on this page.

TTH Headed Anchors

Headed anchors provide dead end embedment in concrete and can be used as an alternative to hooked bars. They are available to suit bar sizes 12mm to 40mm.

Note: For available sizes specific to the UK and Ireland, please download the Reinforcing Bar Couplers brochure on this page.

TTA Parallel Thread Adaptors

The TTA Tapered Thread Parallel Thread Adaptor accepts a standard metric bolt or studding. It is particularly useful for connecting temporary fixtures to concrete. Once the fixture is removed, reinforcement continuity can be achieved in the second phase construction by using another TTA adaptor and central threaded stud. The TTA is designed to achieve failure loads in excess of 115% of the characteristic strength of grade 500 rebar and meets the requirements of BS EN 1992-1-1:2004 (Eurocode 2) and BS 8110 for mechanical splices.
