How LENTON TERMINATOR Works

The LENTON TERMINATOR design builds on the extensive ℓdt
testing conducted for headed anchors. Most recently the
American Concrete Institute (ACI) published Building Code
Requirements (318-08) defining the development of
Tension Development Lengths for Headed
headed and mechanically anchored deformed bars in ten- Reinforcing Uncoated Bars (ACI)
sion (Section 12.6). Additionally, the International Building
Bar
Code (IBC®) references ACI 318. LENTON TERMINATOR f’c=3,000 f’c=4,000 f’c=5,000 f’c=6,000

A Look At ERICO Concrete Reinforcement Products

ERICO has been a pioneer in the concrete construction industry for more than 40 years. We changed rebar splicing, first with
CADWELD® mechanical connections, then with the LENTON® mechanical splicing system – the #1 mechanical connector in the
world. ERICO now offers a wide range of mechanical splices for almost any construction need:
• CADWELD® – Premier mechanical splicing system
• LENTON® FORM SAVER – Ideal for segmental pour
• LENTON® INTERLOK – Ideal for precast structures
• LENTON® QUICK WEDGE – Ideal for quick retrofit
• LENTON® SPEED SLEEVE – Ideal for compression situations
• LENTON® TERMINATOR – Ideal alternative to hooked rebar anchorage
• LENTON® LOCK – Ideal for in-situ splices
The entire ERICO line of mechanical rebar splices has replaced many conventional
splicing systems, such as welding and lap splicing. Unlike butt welding, ERICO
products require no special training or external power source, are quicker to install
and inspect, reduce crane time, improve the tensile strength of the splice and can
be installed in any weather.
As your rebar splicing specialist, ERICO offers you the expertise you need for all
your rebar splicing projects.

ERICO is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of precision-

engineered specialty metal products serving global niche product markets
in a diverse range of electrical, construction, utility and rail applications.
The company is headquartered in Solon, Ohio, USA with a network of
sales locations serving more than 25 countries and with manufacturing
and distribution facilities worldwide. ERICO’s well-known brand names
include: CADDY® fixings, fasteners and supports; CADWELD welded
electrical connections; CRITEC® surge protection devices; ERICO rail bonds
and specialty products; ERIFLEX® low-voltage panel components; ERITECH®
electrical products; and LENTON® concrete reinforcement. Visit ERICO
