RHINO Position Coupler B Series
The RHINO Position Coupler B series utilizes a two piece system- a main body and adaptor which both recieve taper threaded rebar. The main body has an internal taper thread and internal parallel thread. The adaptor has an internal taper thread and external parallel threads. The main body assembles to the adaptor and will allow the body to telescope to meet the bar that cannot be rotated. The coupler comes with a lock ring to eliminate movement with the parallel threads. The B series does not contain a lock nut.
