Features
The Xtender, a new mechanical tension and compression rebar splicing system, finding widespread acceptance in the western United States, has both structural and field installation advantages. Bar end preparation is quick, simple, and economical and can be done either in the shop or in the field. Compared to lap splices, the Xtender reduces crane time and can result in fewer cranes being needed on the job. The relatively short couplers do not interfere with other reinforcing.
