Breakbar Coupler

• Slimmest coupler design
• Overall diameter reduces need for additional concrete cover
• Barbreak Couplers are designed to withstand a breaking load of at least 700 N/mm2
• Works like a continuous bar when installed, no cranking required
• Taper thread connections offers easy alignment, achieves full tightness with merely 4-5 turns
• No lock nuts required
• Cross threading prevented
• No special tools for installation
• Inspection of splice made easy with torque wrench
• Also available Barbreak Reducer Coupler
• Exceeds requirements of most International Codes of Practice i.e. MS 146, BS 8110, ACI318/318R. AS 3600 (Aust), DIN 1045(Ger), CAN 3-N 287 2/3 (Can), etc

Barbreak Coupler, the universally approved product, is designed to cater for almost every conceivable application for joining of reinforcing bars. The taper thread system provides easy alignment for engagement of the incoming rotating bar and develop full strength when hand tightened.

Barbreak Coupler consists of a High Tensile Carbon Steel Sleeve with identical threads at opposing ends tapering towards the middle.

Bar ends shall be square cut and taper threaded accordingly for connection. Both couplers and threaded bars are supplied with protective plastic caps.

Barbreak Couplers are usually located in RC Structures such as long columns, inclined columns, long beams, cantilevered structures where tensile loadings are greater than for normal situation, etc where bars are free to turn.
