Ancon

TTS (Starter Bar)

Fast installation for connecting rebars

Ancon Tapered Thread couplers are available in sizes 12 to 50mm. They are installed quickly and easily without the need for specially trained personnel or specialised machinery

  • Ancon Tapered thread couplers are suitable for connecting two reinforcing bars. They comprise an internally threaded sleeve with two right hand threads which are tapered towards the middle of the coupler. The bar ends are square cut and a tapered thread is cut onto the bar. 
  • The couplers are torqued onto one of the reinforcing bars in the factory and the internal threads protected by plastic end caps. The threaded ends of the continuation bar are protected by plastic thread protectors.
  • Installation of the bar in the coupler is simplified by the tapered design which aids alignment. When the bar is fully engaged within the coupler, the continuation bar is tightened using a torque wrench.
  • They are designed to achieve failure loads in excess of 115% of the characteristic strength of grade 500 rebar
