nVent LENTON Connect Shear Bolt Splicing System
nVent LENTON Connect is an in situ reinforcing steel bar splicing system that requires no bar end preparation. It is ideal for new construction, repair or retrofit applications. The coupler features two integral serrated rails that provide for the development of full reinforcing bar (rebar) strength and improved overall structural integrity in tension, compression, stress-reversal and dynamic applications. Connect is designed for use in column splicing, bridge applications, piling, splicing to protruding dowels cast in concrete, closure pours, beams and other demanding splicing applications.
nVent LENTON Connect couplers allow for easy and simple field installation by eliminating the need for bar end preparation, sawing or swaging. The couplers can be installed with just a standard wrench or an impact wrench depending on coupler size. The bolt heads will shear off when proper bolt torque has been reached, which allows for complete visual inspection.
