Assembly Instructions

 

The GEWI ® connecting reinforcements

  • Coupler bar type M
  • Hookbar type W
  • Loop bar type S
  • Anchoring bar type E
  • Connecting bar type P

are delivered with a pre-mounted coupler and are to be fixed to the formwork prior to concreting.

 

 

 

The assembly of GEWI ® coupler can be carried out fast and simple in the following way:

 

  1. Marking of the screw-in length at the fifth rib to ensure the turn in of four ribs of the rod.
  2. Screwing on a lock nut and a coupler on steel rod 1 and a lock nut on steel rod 2.
  3. Joining the steel rods together and screwing up the coupler. Checking with the marking if booth steel rods are turned in sufficiently into the coupler.
  4. Hand-screwing the lock nuts against the coupler.
  5. Locking the nut with the required torque using special torque wrenches.
