Ancon Starter Bar System

The Starter Bar System comprises two elements:

• The female section consists of a threaded bar, connected to a tapered thread coupler. A nail plate is fixed to the end of the coupler and held in place by a plastic end cap. This prevents the ingress of concrete until the continuation bar is fixed.

• The male section comprises a straight bar threaded at one end to allow connection to the coupler after striking the formwork and removing end cap and nail plate. The continuation bar is tightened using a calibrated torque wrench.
