INTRODUCTION
The ALLIGATOR couplers are used for splicing any grade or profile of reinforcing bar. These couplers are made for reinforcement steel with diameters in the range of 10 mm to 40 mm. Connection is made by inserting bars into both ends of the coupler. The breaking bolts are then screwed by hand and tightened by ratchet wrench until bolts shear off. These couplers can be used in particular cases to replace the damaged reinforcements with new ones and to connect to old structure. The advantages of ALLIGATOR COUPLERS: -------Ensure integral connection for steel reinforcement. No need for threading or any other bar preparation. These are fast, simple, easy to use. Recommended to apply a pneumatic wrench No special training needed. No welded components. Correct assembly easy to check visually.
ALLIGATOR COUPLERS
To repair an existing structure by replacing a corroded or damaged bar, the replacement bar must be cut approximately 5mm shorter to ensure clearance for insertion between the ends of the original bars.
ALC couplers are pushed fully over both ends of the replacement bar and temporarily tight in position.
The replacement bar is then positioned and the ALC couplers moved on the existing bars, half the length of the coupler.
