Whether you are trying to tie pile cages into capping beams or curtail reinforcing bars at the end of beams, heavy congestion or other constraints can often mean that bending or placement of bars is impossible, or at the very least, incredibly time-consuming.
Terminator Coupler is a simple and effective alternative to hooked rebars. It is secured to the end of the rebar, creating an anchorage within the concrete. The assembly of the rebar and the anchor provides an anchorage that is superior to long or bent rebars.
Being the replacement method of the conventional hooked rebar, the Terminator Coupler reduces the problems of rebar congestion in heavily reinforced compact concrete in the anchorage zones, which ultimately eases the compaction process, leading to a better concrete quality in key areas of the structure.
The front face of the coupler is generously designed to carry the full tension load of the rebar when the anchor is bearing against the concrete or structural steel.
For Designers
Terminator Couplers allow reducing steel congestion and steel to concrete ratios. They offer overall better buildability by making possible installation of anchors after the positioning of the rebar.
For Contractors
Terminator Couplers offer a fast, compact and easy-to-install alternative to hook bar, especially on large diameter reinforcement. Concrete flow is also favourably impacted. Rebar preparation can be outsourced or performed ahead of the installation without slowing down the operation.
For Cut & Bend Fabricators
Terminator Couplers are fully compatible with our JoinTec threading system.
