Ancon Tapered Thread Transitional Couplers

General:

• The Ancon Tapered Thread Transition Coupler is used to join reinforcing bars of different diameters where one coupler can be rotated.

• The coupler is normally supplied fixed to a reinforcing bar, ready to be installed and cast in concrete.

• The transition coupler comprises an internally threaded sleeve with two right hand threads both of which are tapered towards the middle of the coupler.

• The diameter of each thread corresponds to the appropriate bar size.

• A nominal +25 mm should be allowed per threaded bar end for square cutting the bar end.

Performance:

• The range of tapered thread couplers has been tested and approved by UK CARES to show compliance with the requirements of BS EN 1992-1-1: 2004 (Eurocode 2) and BS 8110.
