CB Coupler Box Simple, fast, safe reinforcement continuity Ancon CB Coupler Boxes simplify the continuity of reinforcement at concrete construction joints. They allow engineers to design slab-to-wall connections without the traditional restrictions on bar length and bar diameter of re-bend/pull-out continuity systems and help contractors to eliminate manual bar straightening on site. The CB Coupler Box utilises the Ancon CARES-approved CXL mechanical rebar connection system. CXL couplers are integral to the CB box and, once the thread protection is removed, accept CXL parallel-threaded...

CS Coupler Strip Simple, fast, safe reinforcement continuity for curved walls Ancon CS Coupler Strips offer all the benefits of CB Coupler Boxes and are specifically designed to simplify rebar continuity at joints where walls are curved on plan. The flexible steel strip used to carry the couplers is nailed directly to curved shuttering. The CS Coupler Strip utilises the Ancon CARES-approved CXL mechanical rebar coupler system. CXL couplers are integral to the CS Strip and accept CXL parallel-threaded reinforcing bars. The strip is cast into a concrete wall, and when the formwork is struck...

Ancon CXL Continuation Bars Unlike re-bend continuity systems where bar lengths are restricted to the box dimensions, there is virtually no restriction on continuation bar length with either CB Coupler Boxes or CS Coupler Strips. Grade B500B or B500C continuation bars, threaded with a CXL metric thread, are supplied by Ancon in 12mm, 16mm, 20mm and 25mm diameter. The CXL system is CARES approved and produces a full strength joint. The bar end is cut square and enlarged by cold forging. This increases the core diameter of the threaded portion of the bar to ensure that the strength of the bar...

CB Coupler Box Installation Guidance 1 The Coupler Box should be orientated according to the instructions on the label. Position as required. The complete unit is nailed to the formwork or alternatively wired back to the main reinforcement cage. Other wall reinforcement should be installed to the Engineer’s details and the concrete is cast. Once the concrete has reached sufficient strength, the formwork is removed to reveal the box face. When installation of the continuation bars is required, the box lid and coupler bolts are removed, revealing the internal threads. Install the Ancon CXL...

CS Coupler Strip Installation Guidance 1 The Coupler Strip should be orientated as required. The complete unit is flexed against the curved formwork and either nailed in position or alternatively wired back to the main reinforcement cage. Other wall reinforcement should be installed to the Engineer’s details and the concrete is cast. Once the concrete has reached sufficient strength, the formwork is removed to reveal the 6mm thick corrugated plastic rebate former. When installation of the continuation bars is required, the rebate former and the recessed caps protecting the threads are...
