Reinforcement systems play a critical role in modern construction, and innovations like Williams threaded terminators are setting new benchmarks for efficiency and performance. These terminators offer a streamlined, economical alternative to traditional approaches, eliminating the need for cumbersome plates and multiple hex nuts.
Why Choose Williams Threaded Terminators?
Williams threaded terminators stand out for their simplicity and efficiency:
- Single-Component Design
Unlike conventional systems requiring multiple components, Williams terminators feature a single-component design. This not only simplifies installation but also reduces congestion around the reinforcement, allowing for more streamlined construction processes. - Ease of Adjustment
Designed for use with Williams threaded bars, these terminators can be easily adjusted to the desired position without the need for specialized equipment. This makes them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, saving time and labor costs. - Compliance and Performance
Williams terminators meet the rigorous standards of ASTM A970 Class HA, ensuring dependable performance in demanding conditions. Additionally, they exceed the dimensional requirements outlined in ACI 318-19 Section 25.4.4 for bar sizes up to #11 (1-3/8”).
A Superior Alternative for Headed Reinforcement
By meeting these standards, Williams threaded terminators can be used as headed reinforcement, providing a practical way to reduce development length without resorting to cumbersome 90° or 180° hooks. This feature makes them a standout solution for projects aiming to optimize space and material usage.
Strength You Can Count On
Williams threaded terminators deliver impressive performance:
- In 3000 psi concrete, their nominal pullout strength exceeds the specified tensile strength of the bar, as per ACI 318-19 Chapter 17.
- While their pullout strength is robust, engineers should analyze potential failure modes like concrete breakout or side face blowout to ensure safe implementation.
