Rebar Socket Combisafe has developed an innovative, socket for use with its edge protection posts or traditional scaffolding. The socket is fixed at a junction of the rebar mesh before further reinforcements are added and the concrete poured. The use of the robust hook and anchor ensures the socket will not move while the casting table is oscillated or vibrated, or while the concrete surface is being keyed. Complies with EN 13374 Class A Comes as a complete unit: socket, hook, nut and cap It’s a simple yet highly effective solution that will save precast manufacturers both time and effort. Finished floor/wall slabs can then be delivered to site pre-prepared for edge protection to be fitted before being craned into position. Tested to 1000Nm in both inward and outward directions The socket comes complete with a hook and anchor to enable precast manufacturers to secure it rigidly to the rebar without the need for wiring or spacers. Can be positioned 200 mm from corners and the leading edge* Sockets are hooked and tightened securely to the rebar prior to concrete being cast (see image 1). These sockets have been fully tested to EN 13374, including the effects of high winds. *Refer to Technical Information Sheet for product specifications. Anchoring hook to rebar eliminates need for wiring or spacers Integral flanges hooked under crossing rebar prevents lateral movement Secure fixture ensures socket will neither twist nor move during casting process Quick and easy to install Plastic cap prevents concrete ingress during casting Offers a more cost-effective solution Image 1: Secured in both planes to ensure verticality.

Rebar Socket in action STEP 1 Remove the red cap from the socket and ensure the hook is slackened off sufficiently to connect it around the rebar. STEP 2 Position the connecting hook under the rebar at a junction of the mesh and ensure the two locating flanges sit under the adjacent, perpendicular rebar. STEP 3 Tighten the nut using a power-driver, ensuring the hook remains in full contact around the rebar. The flanges will lock tight against the perpendicular rebar as the nut is tightened thus eliminating any further movement from the socket. STEP 4 Replace the red cap on the socket to...
