Shear Load ConnectorsInstalled at expansion and contraction joints,Ancon shear load connectors are more effectiveat both transferring load and accommodatingmovement than plain dowel bars. Eachconnector is a two-part assembly, comprisinga sleeve and a dowel component. Products areavailable for joints in ground bearing andsuspended slabs. Free design software isavailable.

The range includes a unique Lockable Doweldesigned for use at temporary movement jointsin post-tensioned concrete frames.

Reinforcement ContinuitySystemsAncon Eazistrip consists of pre-bent barshoused within a galvanised steel casing. Onceinstalled, the protective cover is removed andthe bars are straightened.

Ancon Starter Bars are supplied fixed to anAncon coupler. Once cast in concrete, thecouplers end cap is removed and a taperedthread continuation bar is installed with acalibrated torque wrench to complete theconnection.

The latest addition to the range is the AnconKSN Threaded Anchor, which minimisescongestion in a wall. Connection to the anchorcan be made with either a Bartec threaded baror a metric bolt.

Reinforcing Bar CouplersCouplers can be used to replace long bars,simplify design details, reduce rebar congestionand accelerate the speed of construction.The Ancon range includes parallel threaded,tapered threaded, mechanically bolted andgrouted couplers. Stainless steel couplers arealso available.

Thermal BreaksThese systems are used to minimise coldbridging at balcony locations where structuralconnections pass through the insulated buildingenvelope. They provide a thermal break byinserting a material with a low thermalconductivity between elements with a higherconductivity and most also provide localinsulation at the joint. As critical structuralcomponents, these Ancon insulated connectorsalso transfer moment, shear, tension andcompression forces. Standard solutions areavailable for concrete-to-concrete, steel-to-concrete and steel-to-steel interfaces.

Corner GuardsAncon Corner Guards protect exposed edges ofcolumns and walls in areas of high traffic, suchas car parks and warehouses. Where aestheticsare important, stainless steel corner guards canbe supplied with a satin-polished surface finish.

Reinforcing BarAncon supplies stainless steel plain and ribbedbar direct from stock. Bars can be supplied cutto length, bent and threaded to suit anyapplication.
