FT12 Female Standard Coupler
The LENTON ULTIMATE FT12 Female Standard Coupler is designed for high performance applications, efficiently creating mechanical reinforcing bar connections where the second bar can be rotated and is not restricted in its axial direction. The LENTON self-aligning, taper-thread reduces misalignment issues and helps eliminate cross-threading during installation. The FT12 Female Standard Coupler is used in conjunction with the nVent LENTON Ultimate MT12 Male Taper Stud for bar-to-bar connections.
Additionally, the FT12 Female Standard Coupler can be used in conjunction with standard legacy LENTON Taper-Threaded bars produced on LENTON threaders. However, when using in conjunction with other legacy LENTON Taper-Threaded products the performance of the connection may be reduced. Contact your LENTON representative for more information.
Ultimate mechanical splices are pre-qualified for use for both Caltrans Ultimate and Caltrans Service applications. Additionally, they meet ACI® 318 Type 1 and Type 2 mechanical splice performance with ASTM® A615 and A706 grades 60 through 80 rebar.
Typical applications include column bar splicing (shearwalls, corewalls), beam bar splicing, future extension and segmental pours.
