For many years, the traditional method of connecting reinforcing bars has been with lap splicing. But as many structural engineers, architects and specifiers have discovered, lap splicing has very few advantages and quite a few disadvantages when compared to mechanical splicing. Read through the following pages and explore the reasons why you should consider mechanical couplers.

Design-Constrictive
Lap length required for bars in tension is normally longer than same size bars in compression Lap splices double the number of bars leading to rebar congestion which can restrict the flow of aggregates
Deterioration of concrete due to improperly designed rebar splices and lack of reinforcement, often leads to premature splice failure.
Hidden Costs
The bigger the bar diameter, the longer the lap The lower the concrete strength, the longer the lap length required Corrosion-resistant coated bars are expensive and longer lengths may be used Lap splicing involves time consuming calculations, possible calculation mistakes, and overestimating
Lap splices depend on concrete for strength, and therefore lack structural integrity and continuity in concrete construction.

Additional Advantages
LENTON offers an excellent current carrying capacity, or strike path, for grounding buildings Resistant to impact loads during man-made or natural events Increased column shear load capacity Promotes low cycle fatigue performance

Mechanical splicing provides the assurance of maintaining load path continuity of the structural reinforcement independent of the condition or existence of the concrete.
Design Benefits
Allows maximum bar cross-section to be used Smallest diameter in the industry reduces need for concrete cover and eliminates rebar congestion Short length and slim design ensure the least disturbance to uniform stiffness Splice strength is independent of rebar deformation Unique tapered thread requires no lock nuts and provides a positive locking, no-slip connection Any length, shape, diameter or combination of bar sizes can be mechanically spliced

LENTON improves steel-to-concrete ratio by eliminating half of the bars necessary in the lap zone of a column. Use of lap splicing may exceed the concrete to steel ratio of many international standards. With LENTON splices, you can design smaller columns and create maximum floor space, while reducing your form costs. Form sizes can also be established for more cost savings, and LENTON couplers are excellent for future extension applications.

LENTON Taper Threaded Mechanical Splices are as good as having money in the bank! Consider the many benefits of mechanical splicing, cost over time is a lot less than expected. One of the fastest methods of splicing rebar Self centering and self aligning Helps eliminate construction delays due to rebar congestion challenges Helps accelerate construction schedules Enhances job site safety
Lap splices may pull apart during seismic loads. LENTON couplers offer more strength than lap splices during seismic, man-made blasts or other natural events as their performance is independent of surrounding concrete. LENTON couplers exceed ACI/UBC/ICC Type 1 & Type 2 requirements. LENTON splices provide you with the ability to design and build concrete structures that meet or exceed todays stringent construction codes and federal regulations regarding seismic frame construction. LENTON couplers are superior to other current methods of splicing in withstanding seismic, man-made blasts and other natural events by providing reinforcing splices for rebar.

LENTON Taper Threaded Mechanical Rebar Splicing System Provides: A better way to design and build Continuity and structural integrity Compliance with international design codes Ease of installation Economy of design Many economic advantages Reduced shipping costs over other methods of splicing or anchoring Exceed Type 1 & Type 2 splice requirements
Corrosion Considerations
Corrosion increases the size of the rebar causing the concrete cover to spall and crack. As lap splices depend on the bond between concrete and steel for strength, concrete degradation caused by corrosion results in lap splice failure. With LENTON couplers, structural integrity is maintained even with the loss of the concrete cover because mechanical couplers perform similar to a continuous piece of rebar.
Lap splices transfer their load through the concrete and will fail as concrete cover degrades.
LENTON mechanical couplers perform similar to a continuous length of rebar regardless of concrete condition.
LENTON mechanical splices reduce congestion, and are ideal for fast and easy rebar placing when using sliding or climbing formwork.
Shear Wall
Wall Slab
LENTON FORM SAVERS for wall/slab or wall/beam connections eliminate the need to penetrate the formwork. Indispensible when using sliding or climbing formwork.
Future Extension
LENTON Couplers are ideal for future extensions. All couplers are supplied with thread-protective plastic caps, which can be removed to expose the coupler when construction recommences. Heavy duty steel caps are available on request.
Column
Lap splicing requires more rebar.
Beam/Column
LENTON TERMINATOR is ideal for rebar anchorage applications to eliminate hooked rebar, reduce congestion and simplify bar placement.

P8 and P13 style couplers are designed to quickly splice two curved, bent, or straight bars, when neither bar can be rotated, and where the ongoing bar is restricted in its axial direction. Typical applications for these couplers are for the splicing of prefabricated cages. The P13 position coupler can be supplied in two pieces for application against form work. The female parallel thread is corrosion protected with a plastic screw-in protection cap.

LENTON bolt couplers provide a full strength joint between a reinforcing bar and a standard metric bolt. The coupler may be used for load-carrying steel structures bolted to concrete foundations, columns or walls, such as pylon bases, fixing crane rails, and fixings for heavy pipe work and walkways. These couplers are machined from non-weldable grades of material, but can be tack welded. S13 can make a convenient transition from reinforcing bar to metric threaded stud, maintaining the full strength of the bar. Transition is useful when forming long tie-bars, such as in formwork or pile-planks, against internal pressure and to form a restraint anchor for ground anchors.

LENTON weldable couplers provide a quick and easy solution for connecting reinforcing bar to structural steel sections or plates. Similar to the standard coupler, the weldable coupler is internally taper threaded on one end, with the other end prepared for welding. These couplers are machined from weldable grades of material such as A.I.S.I. 1018, 1030, 1035 or St 52.5, depending on rebar size. The couplers are usually arc welded to the structural steel in a fabricating shop. The design of the weld, the selection of electrode, and other relevant choices depend on the chemical and physical properties of the structural steel to which the couplers are welded. Engineers who design assemblies should adhere to all appropriate regulations. A = coupler diameter B = length of coupler body D = bar engagement G = small diameter

The LENTON TERMINATOR provides an alternative to hooked rebar, or an anchor or stop nut for rebar passing through a pile plank or structural steel element. The front face of the coupler is generously designed to carry the full tension load of the rebar when the anchor is bearing against concrete or structural steel.
