The HT.EP Positional Coupler is suitable for connecting 2 bars of the same diameter where neither bar can be rotated, at least one bar can be moved and length adjustment of the coupler is required.

The HT.EP Positional Coupler satisfies the requirements of CARES Appendix TA1-B for couplers with reinforcing bars and is produced under an ISO9001 quality management system certified by CARES.

The couplers are delivered to site welded to the appropriate rebars. The formation of the joint is achieved by screwing the male and female sections of the coupler together.

The joint should be tightened using a wrench until no further movement is possible between the two sections.

Installation

Both the welded sections, female coupler and lock nut are brought together.

Spin the lock nut back up the straight thread.

Spin the female coupler up the straight thread. Then bring the tapered male thread close to the female coupler, so as the gap between the two components is less than the maximum extension limit.

Turn the female coupler off the straight thread and onto the taper thread of the male coupler and tighten with a wrench until no further movement.

Spin the lock nut from the straight thread, tighten and lock the female coupler fully.
