The MBT reinforcement coupler is a mechanical socket connection for concrete reinforcement steel B500B with a diameter from 10 to 40 mm and joins two reinforcement bars through a clamping action. The tensile and compression forces are transferred. The rods do not need to be pre-treated: no threading, no compression, no welding. The MBT reinforcement coupler is particularly suitable for the replacement of damaged reinforcement, the connection of old and new constructions, the connection of pre-cast concrete units and of high pre-cast chimneys.
Officially approved by DIBt Berlin
Also approved for predominantly non static loading
No processing of the bar ends required
Secure control of the assembly by shearing the shear studs
Efficient and economical installation by using easy-to-use standard tools as well as the low break off torque of the shear studs
The extensive range of standard sockets, and reducing end anchors ensures predictability and flexibility for universal applications
Well suited for renovations and expansion
Numerous country-specific approvals and survey reports assure its use in the context of international standards
