LENTON® FORM SAVER dowel bar assemblies provide continuity and structural integrity to reinforced concrete construction in segmental
pour applications. The LENTON FORM SAVER is designed with our unique LENTON tapered thread system, factory installed thread protectors, and durable mounting plates for easy attachment to forms. The taper threaded design, like the complete family of LENTON
couplers, provides load path continuity in tension, compression and stress reversal applications.
LENTON FORM SAVER mechanical splices provide superior performance well beyond the yield strength of the reinforcing bar. In fact, LENTON FORM SAVERS exceed the requirements for ACI® Type 1 and Type 2, and are recognized under ICC® ES report ER3967
