- 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.
