PS= Ø® Brochure

Eliminate pour strips with the PS=Ø® Mechanical Reinforcement Splice System Pour strips are often specified to control shrinkage, creep, and elastic shortening in post-tensioned and cast-in-place concrete. The PS=Ø® System elminates pour strips, while allowing for volume change in the slab and providing structual integrity.

Reduce Costs Accelerate construction Improve safety No leave-outs

No redesign ACI-permitted ICC-approved Made in the USA

Introducing The Pour Strip Alternative Now you can eliminate pour strips - and the extra costs, construction delays and safety issues they bring - with the PS=Ø® Mechanical Reinforcement Splice System.

Using proven coupler technologies recognized worldwide, PS=Ø® features a tapered thread on one end and grout-filled sleeve on the other. This patented system is an ACIpermitted method of splicing rebar, is ICC-approved, and made in the USA. REDUCE COSTS. Closing pour strips is the most expensive concrete pour on a job.

Formwork, shoring, and backshoring must stay in place for weeks, and crews must reassemble for small pours. The PS=Ø® system eliminates this costly and time-consuming step.

ACCELERATE CONSTRUCTION. Pour strips are a drag on any construction schedule. They not only require re-pouring the leaveout, but also restrict worker access. By eliminating pour strips, the PS=Ø® system can cut weeks or even months from construction schedules.

IMPROVE SAFETY. An open leave-out in a floor is a major safety hazard. Pour strips are particularly hazardous because they run the entire width of the slab and are impossible to avoid.

The PS=Ø® system replaces dangerous leave-outs with a narrow, grouted joint.
