Threaded Inserts

IMBMS Threaded Inserts are designed to be embedded within concrete, providing a secure threaded connection for reinforcing steel bars. The inserts transfer tensile loads into the surrounding concrete through their embedded length and enlarged head. Available in sizes to suit 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm reinforcing bars, they can be installed with or without a nail plate. The inserts are tested for structural applications, with characteristic load capacities determined by the insert size and installation method.
