HRC elements for connections and anchorage

The Coupler, Thread, Connecting Bar tool in the Bar Reinforcement task area provides the new HRC manufacturer. In addition to elements for the US, the article catalog contains elements of the product ranges for Europe and Canada. Except for the elements of the HRC 670 series, all products are manufactured by a friction-forging process and delivered as finished reinforcing elements to the construction site. For production, you must always specify the length of the reinforcing bar including the HRC element.

Standard couplers and position couplers of the HRC 400 series and T-headed bars of the HRC 100 series are available in all product ranges.
In addition, the product range for Europe contains the HRC 220 elements of the HRC 200 series and steel-concrete fixing of the HRC 700 series. When it comes to the product range for the US, you can also find T-heads of the HRC 670 series and headed rebars of the HRC 555 series.

Note that the heads might be rotated to each other (with the rebar as the rotation axis). If the position of the heads is important, select one or two circular T-heads (HRC 150) to control positions of both heads.

Notes on installing

When you select the Custom setup type for upgrading, the manufacturer catalogs will not be selected automatically; therefore, they will not be updated either. Although new manufacturers will be entered, their data will not be copied. To get the current catalog data when upgrading with the Custom setup type, scroll down to Manufacturer-specific office data when you see the Select features dialog box and select the HRC entry.
