INSTALLATION
1. Insert the end of the first rebar halfway into the
coupler until it contacts the center stop pin.
2. Holding the first rebar in place, tighten all the bolts
on that half until they are hand tight against the rebar.
3. Insert the end of the second rebar halfway into the
coupler until it contacts the center stop pin.
4. Holding the second rebar in place, tighten all the
bolts on that half until they are hand tight against the
rebar.
5. In a random alternating pattern, tighten all bolts to
approximately 50% of the specified bolt torque value
6. In a random alternating pattern, tighten all bolts to
approximately 75% of the specified bolt torque value.
7. In a random alternating pattern, tighten all bolts until
all the heads of the bolts shear off.
8. Prior to bolt tightening, the serrated rails MUST
remain aligned in the same position as they were
manufactured. If they are damaged or knocked out of
alignment while positioning, installation MUST cease
and a new coupler used.
9. Bolt tightening MUST be done in a random
alternating pattern similar to tightening the lug nuts
on an automobile wheel.
10. A high quality 1? pneumatic drive impact wrench,
with at least 100 psig air flow and 185 CFM of
delivered air through a no less than 0.75? hose
MUST be used for installation.
