Hooked Rebar Anchorage vs. nVent LENTON Swaged Terminator
For many years, the traditional method of providing shear reinforcement and connecting roof/column and beam/column connections has been with hooked rebar anchorage. Many structural engineers, architects and specifiers have discovered this method of anchorage has very few advantages. Explore the reasons why you should consider the nVent LENTON Swaged Terminator - your efficient alternative for hooked rebar anchorage.
WHICH SYSTEM IS MORE RELIABLE AND ECONOMICAL?
| Hooked Rebar Anchorage | nVent LENTON Swaged Terminator | |
|---|---|---|
| Requires longer development lengths | Eliminates rebar hook | |
| Increases rebar congestion | Simplifies bar placement | |
| Restricts flow of larger aggregates | Minimizes development lengths | |
| Hidden costs: The larger the bar, the longer the lap | Reduces congestion up to 27% | |
| Inhibits rebar placement | Simplifies concrete placement | |
| Increases rebar placing costs | Better concrete consolidation | |
| Jeopardizes job site safety: Increases safety hazards through exposed rebar | More embedment options | |
| Restricts removal of column forms and shaft casings | Greater design flexibility | |
| Labor intensive | Faster installation | |
| Lowers in-place cost | ||
| Standard product dimensions | ||
| Minimal detailing required |

HOW THE NVENT LENTON SWAGED TERMINATOR WORKS
The nVent LENTON Swaged Terminator design builds on the extensive testing conducted for headed anchors. Most recently the American Concrete Institute (ACI®) published Building Code Requirements (318-19) defining the development of headed and mechanically anchored deformed bars in tension (Section 25.4.4). Additionally, the International Building Code (IBC®) references ACI 318.

Faster Rebar Placement & Reduced Rebar Congestion
WHY NVENT LENTON SWAGED TERMINATOR?
Code changes have significantly increased the amount of rebar required, while at the same time, designers are striving for more compact structural elements. This results in rebar congestion and placement problems. The Swaged Terminator answers these challenges by eliminating the majority of rebar embedment lengths required, while reducing job-site related labor hours.
The Swaged Terminator provides an alternative to hooked rebar, anchor or stop nut for rebar passing though a pile plank or structural steel element. The front face of the Terminator is designed to carry the full tension load of the rebar when the anchor is bearing against concrete or structural steel.
Swaged Terminator is designed for use in concrete with ASTM A615/A706 grades 60 and 80, ENV10080, BS4449, AS3102, and other international grades of rebar in sizes #4 (12 mm) through #18 (57 mm). The Terminator requires no special training, minimizes detailing and is ideal for all types of concrete construction projects. The system is supplied through a network of local rebar fabricators utilizing standard nVent LENTON equipment.
The nVent LENTON Swaged Terminator is designed to meet the requirements of ACI® 318 as an alternate to hooked rebar anchorage.
ACI 318 Section 25.4.5.1 states: “Any mechanical attachment or device capable of developing fu of reinforcement is allowed, provided that test results showing the adequacy of such attachment or device are approved by the building official.”
