Our Couplers are designed to splice the same diameter bars where at least one bar is free to be rotated and is not restricted in its axial direction. The couplers are machined to have taper threads at both ends, creating a mechanical butt splice of two sections of reinforcing steel.

Typical applications include column bar splicing (shearwalls, corewalls), beam bar splicing, future extension and segmental pours. Our couplers of cryogenic reinforcement splicing systems should be specified whenever cryogenic-grade reinforcing bar is used, or during normal operating or emergency conditions where the temperature falls below -20 °C (-4 °F).
