The BPI® FITT® Coupler is a field installed threaded coupler for reinforcing bars.   Easy installation - Attaches directly to reinforcing bar easily and quickly in the field with standard pipe wrenches and no special torque required. The BPI® FITT® Coupler doesn't require specialized installation equipment.  It requires no special bar end preparation or thread cutting.  The BPI® FITT® Coupler is a type 2 full mechanical splice - ACI 318-19 Section 18 and 2021 International Building Code. Exceeds specified tensile strength (fu) ASTM A615 and A706 Grade 60 uncoated deformed bars. 

​

Confirming in-air tests exceed specified tensile strength (fu) when installed on ASTM A615 Grades 75 & 80 and A706 Grade 80 uncoated deformed bars.   The BPI® FITT® Coupler Exceeds 125% x specified yield (fy) per AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Capacity to exceed 135% x fy and 100% x fu Grade 60 bars.
