LENTON® Bolt Couplers

Print this page

S13 Bolt couplers provide a full strength joint between a reinforcing bar and a standard metric bolt. Both the S4 and S5 couplers are for use in North America and provide continuity between reinforcing bar and imperial UN or UNC all-thread rod or bolts.

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

S13 provide a full strength joint between a reinforcing bar and a standard metric bolt
S4 and S5 are available only in North America and provide continuity between a reinforcing bar and imperial UN or UNC all-threaded rod or bolts.
May be used for load-carrying steel structures bolted to concrete foundations, columns or walls, such as pylon bases, fixing crane rails, and fixings for heavy pipe work and walkways

More Information

These couplers are machined from non-weldable grades of material, but can be tack welded. S13 can make a convenient transition from reinforcing bar to threaded stud, maintaining the full strength of the bar. Transition is useful when forming long tie-bars, such as in formwork or pile-planks against internal pressure and to form a restraint anchor for ground anchors.
