2 System Description

The DEHA Threaded Reinforce-


ment Coupler WD90 is a reinforce-
ment coupler used to connect BSt
500 S in accordance with DIN
1045 section 18.6.5 for nominal
diameters 10 to 32 mm.
The connection system is techni-
cally approved under the number
Z-1.5-74.

The basic range consists of 3 ver-


sions.

- WD90-N for bars ∅ 10 to 32 mm


as a connection between straight
bars

- WD90-GA for bars ∅ 10 to 32 mm


for bent bars and

- WD90-RL for bars ∅ 12 to 32 mm


for straight and bent bars
