Flat bar spacer

Creating a concrete cover for rebar on soft and sinking surfaces is an important and significant issue in the process of concrete formation on rebar due to the possibility of the spacer sinking and the disruption of the integrity of the distance between the reinforcement and the floor. For this reason, the flat bar spacer is a special and specific piece that has a much larger cross-sectional area than another similar item (flat fix spacer). The flat bar spacer is a suitable piece for creating a concrete cover, for placement on soft and sinking floors such as floors covered with polystyrene foam. One of the special applications of this plastic spacer for reinforcement is placing two rows of rebar perpendicular to each other or intersecting each other in its working opening. Therefore, the flat bar spacer is a convenient option for placement at the intersection of rebars, and this feature is possible due to the difference in size in the height of the two intersecting spacer seats. Flat bar plastic covers are capable of withstanding a point load of 120 to 150 kg and are capable of accommodating rebar from 8 to 16 mm in diameter between their working jaws.

This type of plastic spacer is designed and manufactured to be used on light rebar grid surfaces such as soft and recessed ceilings. It is also not logical to use it on other surfaces because it may cause the underlying flat plate of that structure to become sectionally weak.

This Flatbar Spacer is a plastic spacer and construction tool used to create a gap between rebars in concrete pouring. This piece is used to maintain the correct position of the rebars and prevent them from contacting the concrete formwork. The main purpose of using this piece is to create a proper concrete coating and also prevent corrosion of the rebars.

What are the essential tips when using flat bar spacers?

The Flat Bar plastic spacer is designed and manufactured for use on soft, concave surfaces such as polystyrene blocks.

The best place to place the plastic flat bar spacer is where the rebars meet.

Using flat bar spacers on ordinary surfaces such as concrete surfaces and formwork surfaces is not appropriate because, due to their relatively large cross-sectional area and flush with the floor, they will create relative structural weaknesses.

If the reinforcement mesh is unusually heavy, it is recommended to use other horizontal spacers, such as hard-fix spacers between the soft and sinking surface spacers (flat bars).
