Ancon designs and manufactures high integrity steel products for

the construction industry. Through continuous programmes of

new product development, inward investment and employee

advancement, the company is committed to maintaining the

highest level of customer service within a dynamic and

challenging industry.

The use of reinforcement continuity systems is

a widely accepted means of providing

continuity of reinforcement across

constructions joints in concrete.

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 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 wired back to the main

reinforcement cage. The concrete is then cast.

After striking the formwork, the cover is

removed and the bars are straightened, ready

for lapping onto the main reinforcement, using

an Eazistrip re-bending tool.

The steel casing remains embedded in the wall

and is filled with concrete when the next

section is poured, the dimpled surface

providing an efficient key.

QUALITY

Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity

Systems are manufactured using CARES

approved bar which meets the requirements

of BS4449. The grade of reinforcing bar used

is Grade 500B, minimum yield 500N/mm2,

minimum uniform elongation Agt 5%.

The bars are bent in accordance with BS8666.

Ancon Building Products is a BS EN ISO2001

registered company.

Use of the Eazistrip system offers many

benefits over conventional joint construction,

including the simplification of formwork design

and removal of the need to drill shuttering.

This contributes to the acceleration of the

construction process. As the bars remain

enclosed within the casing until required, they

are protected and the risk of injury from

projecting bars is minimised. Easy to use, the

system requires no on site training in order to

carry out installation.

The Eazistrip system is potentially suitable for

use in any construction joint in concrete, but

the most commonly found applications

include:

Floor slabs

Walls

Stairwells

Corbels

Diaphragm walls

Jumpforms

Brick support ledges

available radiused. Please contact Ancon with

your requirements.

Nail the Eazistrip to the formwork and pour the

concrete.

Strike the formwork to reveal the steel cover. Remove the cover to expose the pre-bent

bars.

Straighten the bars using the Eazistrip

re-bending tool. Bars should be straightened

only once.

The bars are now ready for lapping.

INSTALLATION

BAR STRAIGHTENING

Eazistrip bars should always be straightened using the appropriate sized re-bending tool. This is a

steel tube designed to fit over the bar, the internal diameter being marginally greater than the

diameter of the bar. One end of the tube has a section cut away. This allows the re-bending

process to be carried out in a smooth continuous action, the tube moving along the bar and

around the bend as it is straightened. Scaffold tubes or similar must not be used to straighten bars.

The process of straightening the reinforcement should not be carried out when the temperature of

the bar is below 5C. Bars should be straightened only once.

Identify the location of the intended cut.

ON-SITE CUTTING

1

Slide the protective cover from the box and remove the bars which pass over the cut location.

2

Cut through the steel casing using a disc cutter.

3

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

Note: Protective gloves should be worn when removing covers, straightening bars, cutting boxes and duringgeneral handling of Eazistrip.

OTHER ANCON PRODUCTS

Tapered Thread Couplers

Tapered thread couplers are designed to suit

the majority of applications requiring the joining

of reinforcing bars. Their compact design

makes them ideal for use in confined situations

where space is restricted or when loss of cover

must be minimised. They are installed quickly

and easily using a calibrated torque wrench.

Bartec Parallel Thread Couplers

Bartec parallel threaded couplers provide a

cost effective coupler system best suited to

large scale, high coupler volume projects. The

bar ends are enlarged by cold forging and a

parallel thread is cut on to the ends to suit the

threaded coupler. Installation requires the use

of a pipe or chain wrench.

Bar X-L Parallel Thread Couplers

The Bar X-L system is particularly appropriate

for applications where fatigue is an issue. The

ends of the bars to be joined are cut square

and marginally enlarged. A parallel thread is

then rolled on to the ends to suit the threaded

sleeve. As with the Bartec coupler, installation

is carried out using a pipe or chain wrench.

MBT Mechanically Bolted Couplers

MBT couplers offer a convenient means of

joining bars without the need for bar endpreparation to suit Bartec or tapered thread

couplers. The bars are supported within the

coupler on two serrated saddles and are

locked in place by a series of special lockshear

bolts. Bar rotation is not required.

Shear Load Connectors

Staifix DSD and ESD Shear Load Connectors

are used to transfer shear across expansion

and contraction joints in concrete. They are

more effective at transferring load and allowing

movement to take place than standard dowels,

and can be used to eliminate double columnsat structural movement joints in buildings.

Channel and Bolt Fixings

Ancon offers a wide range of channels and

bolts in order to fix stainless steel masonry

support, restraints and windposts to structural

frames. Cast-in channels and expansion bolts

are used for fixing to the edges of concrete

floors and beams. A range of stainless steel

set screws and self-drill self-tap screws are

designed to fix to steel frames.

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 double sided

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

Hygiene-Institut, Geisenkirchen, Germany for

use with potable water.

A protective film on the Pentaflex preventscontamination by dust or dirt during storage,

handling and installation. The film must be

removed prior to concreting. When installing

and abutting boxes, joints are achieved by

pressing together a 50mm overlap of the

Pentaflex material, to ensure continuous

protection against water permeation.
