RTS – Standard Coupler
INSTALLATION:
1 – Peel and thread the end of the reinforcing bars using INCON’s threading machine.
2 – Screw the RTS Coupler by rotating it clockwise on the threads of one of the reinforcing bars.
3 – Align the second bar and screw it inside the coupler until the connection is completely secured.
CONFIGURATION:
RTS Coupler is composed of an internally threaded steel tube that connects two threaded bars of the same size and identical threaded length.
MAIN APPLICATION:
RTS Coupler is widely used for general construction applications where the rotation and axial movement of at least one bar is allowed.
Features:
Satisfies the requirements of Type 2 couplers for use with Grade 60 reinforcing bars.
Conforms to major building codes and standards including ACI 318, CSA A23.3, BS 8110 and DIN 1045.
Easily installed and highly efficient for preparing the splice and assembly on site.
Accurate splice length control due to the precise coupler joint.
Compact design of the coupler to reduce reinforcement congestion.
