ZAP SCREWLOK ® Mechanical Splices and Connectors for Reinforcing Bars – Review…
ZAP SCREWLOK ® mechanical splices and connectors are compatible with reinforcing bars that comply with ASTM A615, ASTM A706,
ASTM A996, or equal and consist of smooth, shaped, steel sleeves with converging sides. A series of cone-pointed hex-head screws are
arranged along the longitudinal axes in one or two rows. In the case of butt splices, reinforcing bars are inserted from each end to a center stop.
No special bar-end preparation is required, so ends can be sheared, sawed, or flame-cut. Assembly instructions are normally supplied with
your order or can otherwise be obtained directly from Barsplice Products, Inc.

Single Row
During mechanical splice assembly, as screws are tightened, they embed 10 - 36
themselves into the rebar surface and then the heads twist off at a prescribed
tightening torque. Force from the screws causes rebar deformations to interlock
within the coupler wedge. The DUAL mechanical action, results in a full positive BEFORE
connection for transferring tension or compression forces from bar-to-bar.. Screws AND
can be tightened using suitable impact wrenches or hand-held ratchet wrenches.
Linear alignment is preserved across the splice by using reinforcing bars with AFTER
straight ends and securing the continuation bar in the desired position at the time
of assembly..
ASSEMBLY

When making splices between fixed points, a coupler sleeve without a Double Row
center stop can be slipped entirely onto one bar and subsequently repositioned 38 - 57
over the two bar ends being spliced.
Mechanical butt splices and connectors are available for BEFORE
reinforcing bar sizes No. 10 through 57 mm per BPI’s Dimensions AND
and Data charts. Transition splices are used to connect rebars of
different sizes. AFTER
Mechanical lap splices are available for bar sizes No. 10 ASSEMBLY
through 25 mm.

Epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars that comply with ASTM A775/A775M can be spliced by means of epoxy coated coupling sleeves without
shielding or removing the epoxy coating from the bar. Zinc coated (galvanized) bars can be mechanically spliced by means of galvanized coupling
sleeves. Different types of ZAP SCREWLOK® mechanical splices are selectable for new construction, field repair applications, and the splicing
of older types of reinforcing bars.
ZAP SCREWLOK® is a positive tension and compression mechanical splice system whose strength is independent of the concrete
which surrounds it, thereby providing true structural continuity. Applications include heavy construction, field splicing of column steel, beam
reinforcement, concrete piles and deck steel. The system is used for rehab projects, retrofit, strengthening, and up-grading concrete elements.
Type 2 splices are used for mechanically splicing reinforcement in members resisting earthquake induced forces. Other uses may include
extending deck steel to widen bridges, highway patch and repair projects and splicing of bars across closure pours.
Benefits to using ZAP SCREWLOK ® include positive mechanical splicing, choices for Type 1 and Type 2 applications, splices for black
or galvanized or epoxy coated bars, easy visual inspection, no specialized equipment, minimal clearance requirements and positive center- stop.
ZAP SCREWLOK ® is ideal in remote areas and tight access areas; it is suitable for new construction repair or retrofit and compatible with
sheared, flame-cut or saw-cut bars.
Headed Anchorage suitable for Grade 60
reinforcing can be created by welding Zap Structural
Connectors and structural steel plates*. For simplicity,
locally-sourced plate that has been cut square and
has a side length ‘S’ as specified in the table below
will be more than adequate for many applications.
However, other sizes and shapes of plate can be S
attached to suit structural demands.

ACI 318 Section 12.6 allows any mechanical

device to be used as anchorage that is Anh
capable of developing at least the strength
of the bar {fy } without damage to concrete. Example of Zap Screwlok® Termination
(plate and welding by others)

Reinforcing bar sizes No.12 through 57 mm that meet the deformation requirements of ASTM A615 / A615M or ASTM A706 / A706M can be
anchored by this method. Applications might include the substitution of hook bars in congested area, or in renovation and repair work, to enhance
straight bars where development length is inadequate. Headed bars reduce the development length of bars by transmitting a proportion of force
from bar to concrete via head bearing area.
