The conventional method of fixing rebar on the couplers is by rotating the threaded rebar. But in a situation where it is difficult or impossible to rotate the rebar on to coupler Union couplers is the ideal solution. UNION COUPLER is an assembly of three components as shown in following images. In this type of couplers the top and bottom end can rotate independently.
SGH-FRGD is most widely used form of coupler for rebar splicing in Civil constructions projects. Unlike inclined or tapered couplers, which require high precision, skill & constant supervision, it has straight threads and is very quick and easy to install. It qualifies ACI –318 & BS-8110 requirements for mechanical splicing.
