BMS-BAR COUPLER
The couplers are designed to provide high tensile strength connections with external ribs or spanner flats, for easy gripping by hand tools; such as spanner, pipe wrench and chain wrench etc.
BMS-BAR COUPLER
(NORMAL-TEMPERATURE SWAGED BAR)
- No heat applied, no upsetting, no thread cutting
- Through normal-temperature swaging, original stress-resistance in tension and compression force is ensured
- Concrete placement is easy thanks to the small diameter and short length of the coupler
- Couplers are available for dissimilar sizes on request
