Ancon Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity Systems
Verified by manufacturer 5 months ago
CARES Certificate of Approval
Certificate type
A quick and easy method of maintaining continuity of reinforcement at construction joints in concrete.
Application
Suitable for use in any type of construction joint.
Description
The product consists of a galvanized steel casing with a dimpled surface to provide an effective concrete bond. Pre-bent bars are housed within the casing and enclosed by a protective heavy duty plasticized cardboard cover.
Each end of the unit is sealed with a polystyrene block in order to prevent the ingress of concrete during construction. Units are nailed to the formwork, or wired back to the main reinforcement cage. After striking the formwork, the cover is removed and the bars are straightened using an Eazistrip re-bending tool.
Features and benefits:
- Eazistrip systems are manufactured using CARES approved bar.
- The type of reinforcement is selected by Ancon to provide a suitable degree of ductility, ensuring that it complies with the tensile requirements of BS 4449: 2005 Grade 500C after prefabrication and re-bending on site.
- Bars are bent in accordance with BS 8666: 2005.
