LENTON® FORM SAVER Eliminates Protruding Dowel Bars in Segmental Pours

LENTON® FORM SAVER Eliminates Protruding Dowel Bars in Segmental Pours

Dowel bars, the reinforcing steel that protrudes through formwork, have long been the traditional method for joining bars in segmental pours. Recently, many contractors and construction product suppliers have discovered that dowel bar substitutes can improve their schedules and the bottom line by eliminating costly form repair, bending and rebending rebar and reducing protruding dowel hazards. LENTON® FORM SAVER is ideal for eliminating protruding dowel bars in segmental pour applications and temporary openings. It is uniquely designed with the LENTON® tapered thread, factory installed thread protector and a mounting plate for easy attachment to the form.

 

These exclusive dowel bar assemblies from ERICO® provide continuity and structural integrity to reinforced concrete construction. The taper threaded design, like the complete family of LENTON® couplers, provides load path continuity in tension, compression and stress reversal applications.

 

LENTON FORM SAVER splices outperform dowel bars because of their ability to develop strength requirements independent of concrete cover. Their ease of installation, consistent performance and durability add value and integrity to any segmental pour application. They are ideal for applications, such as slip and jump forming, segmental pours, stairwells, equipment hatch openings, tower crane openings, slabs and bridge decks.

 

LENTON FORM SAVER mechanical splices provide superior performance well beyond the yield strength of the reinforcing bar. In fact, they exceed the requirements for Type 1 and Type 2 and are recognized under ICC Report ER-3967. The product is also recognized by or meets the standards of ACI, UBC, IBC, A.A.S.H.T.O, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and numerous State Departments of Transportation.
