Concrete Reinforcement - Precast Connection - Groutec L
Groutec coupler with a larger misalignment tolerance, thanks to the wide cavity.
Half-grouted system with larger cavity
Groutec L is a mechanical splicing designed for the connection of precast elements.
Each Groutec L sleeve features a threaded end for the connection to reinforcement bars at the precast factory and a wide body allowing for more misalignment tolerance for the connection of two precast elements at site.
Groutec L is designed and manufactured in compliance with Eurocode 2, BS8110, ISO 15835, ACI 318 type 2, and AASHTO code requirements
Product features - Compatible with ribbed or deformed reinforcing bars in diameters from Ø12 to 40 mm (#4 to #12), in grades up to 550 MPa (80 ksi).
- Groutec L can connect bars prepared with Dextra thread systems: Rolltec, Bartec and Fortec.
- At the construction site, connection is made in a few seconds by injecting/pouring non-shrink grout into the cavity.
- Horizontal or vertical connections, in upper or lower element, Groutec L can do it all!
