InfraBuild Reinforcing supplies Ancon® KSN Anchors to suit bar sizes 12mm, 16mm and 20mm.  The use of Ancon KSN Anchors with BT threaded reinforcing bars can simplify concrete design at construction joints, typically in wall-to-slab applications.

The anchor is cast into the face of the concrete wall. When the formwork and thread protection is removed, the KSN Anchor is ready to receive a reinforcing starter bar that is equipped with an Ancon BT Thread. Once all other reinforcement is installed, the adjoining slab is cast to complete the installation.

Ancon KSN Anchors can be nailed to the formwork using Ancon KSN Nailing Plates. KSN Anchor System options include metal casing, individual nailing plates, welded to rail and reusable moulds.

Typical uses

• Slab-to-wall connections

Features

•  Eliminates the drilling of formwork or concrete and the dangers associated with projecting bars and on-site bar straightening. 
•  Replaces cogged or hooked bar ends simplifying bar scheduling 
•  Minimises congestion in the wall
