Eazistrip Continuity of Reinforcement at Construction Joints The use of reinforcement continuity systems is a widely accepted means of providing continuity of reinforcement across construction joints in concrete. The Eazistrip system comprises a galvanised steel casing which houses pre-bent bars. The unit is cast into the face of a concrete wall and the bars are straightened, ready for lapping when required. Leviat manufactures other Ancon CARESapproved reinforcement continuity systems for use when bar diameters exceed 16mm, lap lengths do not fit within an Eazistrip box and on-site bar...

EC2 Indented Construction Joint Corrosion-Resistant Galvanised Casing Dimpled Surface Provides Key

Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity Systems The Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity System is a quick and easy-to-install method of maintaining continuity of reinforcement at construction joints in concrete. It consists of a galvanised steel casing with a dimpled surface to provide an effective concrete bond. Pre-bent bars are housed within the casing and are enclosed by a protective heavy duty plasticised cardboard cover. Each end of the unit is sealed with a polystyrene block in order to prevent the ingress of concrete. The complete unit is nailed to the formwork. Alternatively it can be...

Standard Range Configurations Type 80 When the stirrup width exceeds 220mm, units will be supplied as two single overlapping hooks, to be positioned side by side. *Other centres are available Notes: Units containing 16mm bars are nominally 50mm deep. On 16mm Ø Type U boxes, the stirrup may be achieved using two shape code 21 bars. These are referenced DH.

Continental Range Dimensions Part No. Notes: Dimensions shown in the above table are nominal. Heights and lengths may typically vary by one bar diameter. Maximum box length is 3m dependant upon weight. Boxes with a DH reference contain double hook bars rather than a single U bar. Units containing 16mm bars are nominally 50mm deep (d). Radiused Eazistrip Many of the units detailed in the brochure are available radiused. Please contact us with your requirements.

Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity Systems Installation 4 Nail the Eazistrip through the casing to the formwork or alternatively securely tie the projecting anchorage reinforcing bars back to the main reinforcement. In both cases the Eazistrip box should be securely fixed to avoid displacement during concreting. The casing should be tight against the formwork. Pour concrete. 2 Straighten the bars using the appropriate sized Ancon Eazistrip re-bending tool for the size of bar. The bars should be straightened only once. To avoid damage to adjacent concrete, it is prudent to allow a concrete...

Identify the location of the intended cut. 2 Slide the protective cover from the box and remove the bars which pass over the cut location. 3 Cut through the steel casing using a disc cutter. 4 Replace the bars to face the opposite direction to their original position. Cut the cover to the same lengths as the steel casing and replace to protect the bars. The ends of the boxes must be sealed, using polystyrene blocks, to prevent the ingress of concrete. N ote: Protective gloves should be worn when removing covers, straightening bars, cutting boxes and during general handling of Eazistrip.

Eazistrip Water Stop Where the potential for water ingress through the construction joint is a major concern, Eazistrip can be supplied with a Pentaflex hydrostatic seal. The seal is factory fitted inside and outside the box to provide doublesided protection against water or moisture permeation along the joint face. As Pentaflex is a hydrostatic seal, it is not reliant on expansion, unlike hydrophilic type seals, and it provides a continuous elastic seal by means of the bond between the Pentaflex and the fresh concrete. Resistant to organic waste water, Pentaflex has been tested by the...
