1B Installation of BT Type B connection

The Type B connection contains one BT Coupler, one reinforcing bar with a Type A thread, and one reinforcing bar with a
Type B thread.
The bar is typically supplied with the Coupler already installed. In this case, begin with step 1B-2.

To ensure structural integrity of the connection, any
actions, such as on-site bending, which induce cold
working of the bar in the threaded region are to be
strictly avoided.

Using a wrench, rotate the continuation bar

to lock the two bar ends against each other
within the coupler. After tightening, the length of
exposed thread should be no more than half of
the coupler length plus 2-4mm depending on the
diameter of the rebar.
