374 STEEL-WICH®:
This
new unique device holds and precisely centers
rebar in a block core. The unique STEEL-WICH®
CMU Telescoping Rebar Positioner allows for
unlimited vertical movement of the rebar during
block wall installation!
The "STEEL-WICH METHOD": Using the
CMU Adjustable Rebar Holder, the mason acquires
a new capability to "Telescope"
rebar during placement. This allows reinforcing
steel to be installed with ease, in area of
a masonry wall, which was difficult, if not
impossible to do before.
Advantages of the "STEEL-WICH METHOD":
* Increases a Mason's Productivity and Reduces
Labor costs, with NO overrun costs whatsoever!
* No Overhead lifting of heavy block over
Rebar, "No Rebar in your face"!
* Ability to install reinforcing steel with
limited overhead clearance through the use
of "Telescoping Rod Action".
* Eliminates Rebar Waste, by accurate and
secure placement method.
* Provides superior structural strength in
masonry wall construction by precise location
of vertical reinforcing steel.
* Full tensile strength of rebar may be realized,
thus meeting specified building codes and
designs.
* Eliminates the need to grout block wall
cores in sections and allows for a monolithic
pour of grout.
* Block integrity preserved, no waste of grout,
controls the flow of grout, and provides containment
within the vertical core.
* Selective vertical and horizontal positioning
of rebar possible, ensuring natural and mechanical
bonds with grout.
* Allows vertical Rebar to "cross"
horizontal bond beam rebar at the top of masonry
walls.
* No problems with mechanical systems interfering
with reinforcing steel.
* Customize Rebar reinforcement on every job,
without the extra cost.
