LENTON PLUS Mechanical Rebar Splicing

System Achieves Bar Break Remote
ERICO, the manufacturer of the
patented and widely accepted LENTON
mechanical rebar splicing system, also
offers the LENTON PLUS splicing system.
This system addresses critical demand
applications where the mechanical
rebar connector is required (by design
parameters) to force failure into the
parent reinforcing bar remote of the rebar
connector. This most stringent connector
demand is defined by some State
Departments of Transportation (DOT) as
the Ultimate rebar splicing classification.
The LENTON PLUS system utilizes the
same proven traditional LENTON taper
threaded concept, but with a slight twist.
Prior to placing a LENTON taper thread
onto a bar end, the rebar is straightened
(cold worked) with a specially designed
hydraulic tool. The slightly reconfigured
bar end is then placed into a standard
LENTON threading machine and a traditional LENTON taper thread is machined
onto the rebar.
The LENTON PLUS process works in conjunction with the LENTON PLUS standard
(A12) coupler, the LENTON PLUS Position
(P14L) coupler, and with the LENTON
PLUS TERMINATOR (D16). While the
LENTON PLUS standard and position
couplers are designed to mechanically
connect two reinforcing bars together,
the LENTON PLUS TERMINATOR (D16)

is designed for headed bar reinforcement

applications.
LENTON PLUS has been pre-qualified by
various Departments of Transportation
as an Ultimate rebar splicing system.
In addition, LENTON PLUS TERMINATOR
(D16) is pre-qualified as a Headed Bar
Reinforcement (end anchor) and meets
the requirements of the current ASTM
A970.
The LENTON PLUS (A12/P14L) and
LENTON PLUS TERMINATOR (D16) are
an extension to the existing ERICO
mechanical rebar splicing systems and
headed anchors. The traditional LENTON
(A2/P9) rebar splicing system and the
LENTON TERMINATOR (D6) anchors, are
both listed in current ICC ER-3967, as a
TYPE 2 seismic connector/anchor. The new
LENTON PLUS rebar splicing and LENTON
PLUS TERMINATOR (D16) are designed to
offer Engineers and Contractors, when
required, an Ultimate bar break remote
splicing option.
ERICO has experienced staff and
resources available to help you select a
splicing or anchor system to meet your
needs. Contact your local representative
for independent testing data, product
samples, availability or to discuss specific
applications.
