Mechanical splices
HRC 400 Series
HRC 400 Series
For the designer
- Exceeds all international known requirements for rebar couplers, including reinforcement design specifications for seismic events
- Designed to exceed the actual stress and strain capacity of all reinforcement grades, independent of variable heats
- Behaves like continuous reinforcement and provides full utilization of the actual strength and strain properties of the reinforcement; the HRC 400 coupler is not a weak link, limiting the usable ductility of the reinforcement
- All bars can be spliced in one section (i.e. no need to stagger the couplers)
- Female and male part are machined as separate components. This results in consistent high performance of the splice (including very small slip) – independent of the natural variation of rebar shape and rib pattern.
- Can easily be combined with any other HRC Product series at the other rebar end
On the construction site
- Taper Threads provide a fast, simple and self-locking installation
- Coarse threads are little sensitive for tolerances and rough field conditions
- Reliable Quality Control provided by visual inspection and a torque wrench
- HRC 490 Position Coupler – Splice long and high dimension reinforcement without turning the bars
