JB-9 Rebar Couplers - Bar Lock

What Are Rebar Couplers?

Rebar couplers replace standard rebar lap joints in reinforced-concrete structures. They are also suitable for reinforced-concrete columns and walls. Each rebar coupler consists of a piece of rebar with a threaded end and a coupler sleeve installed on the right side during installation.

Rebar couplers can replace all rebar passing through formwork at construction joints. Historically, lap splicing has been the primary method of load transfer between reinforcement bars.

Self drilling anchors combine drilling, grouting, and anchoring in one process. They are fully threaded hollow steel tubes with specified inner and outer diameters.

Traditional lapping of reinforcement is not always ideal. Mechanical rebar couplers provide stronger, more convenient, and often safer connections.

JB Rebar Couplers join rebars with full tension capacity using threaded ends and a coupler sleeve that transfers force across the joint.

Rebar Couplers Features:

  • Quick and easy to install
  • Available in standard, transition, and weldable versions (8-50 mm)
  • High strength in tension, compression, and seismic applications
  • No special installation equipment required
  • Ideal for new construction and rehabilitation projects

Rebar Couplers Benefits:

  • Cost and time savings
  • Ease of installation
  • Wide availability
  • High strength
  • Versatility

Why Use JB-9 Rebar Couplers?

When you choose JB-9 Rebar Couplers - Bar Lock from JB Engineering Corporation / Rebar Couplers India Pvt. Ltd., you benefit from a mechanical splicing system designed for modern reinforced-concrete construction. These couplers deliver full tension capacity and continuous reinforcement without being dependent on concrete bond alone.

In summary, JB-9 Rebar Couplers provide a reliable, efficient and structurally superior alternative to traditional lap splicing, especially in projects where quality, safety and speed matter.

The JB-9 Rebar Couplers (Bar Lock) act as mechanical splices that directly transmit load from one bar to another, independent of concrete bond or strength.

Rebar Couplers Advantages:
  • Rebar continuity - ensures reliable reinforcement without relying on concrete bond.
  • Avoidance of transverse splitting forces - ideal for large rebar diameters to prevent splitting and dowel action forces.
  • Reduction of rebar congestion - easier concrete placement and compaction.
    Reduction of rebar congestion
  • Safety - enhances site safety by eliminating on-site welding.
  • Ease of construction - simplifies assembly of prefabricated cages.
    Ease of construction
  • Reduction in steel use - reduces steel consumption by approximately the lap length.
    Reduction in steel use
  • Seismic use - safer for seismically designed structures, maintaining ductility and preventing brittle failure.

Types of Rebar Couplers

weldable rebar coupler

Weldable Coupler

Weldable couplers connect rebar to structural steel sections or plates. One end is internally taper-threaded, and the other end prepared for welding.
