RHINO Coupler SS Series
- The RHINO Stainless Steel (SS) series of mechanical coupler is designed to join ASTM A955 rebar, where one bar is free to rotate. The coupler has machined taper threads at both ends connecting two ends of rebar to make a mechanical splice. This simplifies rebar splicing in areas where steel congestion makes it difficult for long lap splices. The taper thread design allows for quick alignment and engagement of the bar within the coupler.
- Stainless steel couplers are specified whenever corrosive environmental conditions combine with the need for high load-bearing strength. RHINO Stainless Steel couplers are commonly used when the construction materials may come into contact with de-icing salts, salt water or marine environments.
