ERICO LENTON INTERLOK Rebar Splicing System - Manual (Page 4)

IMPORTANT – General and Safety Information
A. Only ERICO authorized materials should be used to make LENTON ® INTERLOK Rebar Splices.
1. Do not splice except as detailed in the instructions.
2. Do not alter materials without manufacturer authorization.
3. Do not substitute for ERICO authorized materials.
Failure to comply with the above may result in hazards to the individual, improper splices, or damage to items being connected.
B. Make splices in accordance with described splicing procedures and in consideration of surrounding conditions and personnel.
Refer to the HY10L MSDS prior to beginning work with the grout.
1. Personnel should be properly trained in the use of this product.
2. Avoid breathing concentrations of grout dust as it may be hazardous to health. Refer to MSDS for control measures.
3. Avoid skin contact with grout slurry.
C. Unusual applications or conditions may exist which require special considerations.
1. Provide adequate ventilation where natural air flow is not sufficient to prevent personnel from breathing
concentrations of dust.
D. Storage of HY10L Filler Material should be in a clean, dry, secure area and should be restricted to access by authorized personnel
only. Discard any torn, wet, or otherwise damaged bags. Discard any bags which have become wet or where material clumping
is observed. Material consistency should be that of a free flowing fine powder.
E. To determine the date of HY10L manufacture, refer to the lot number located on the end panel of each bag.
The manufacturing date can be determined as shown below:
X YY MM DD ZZ
Example A1210051J: Material produced October 5, 2012 batch 1 of the day. The 1st Alpha character “A” is a production
code. The last character “J” is an optional placeholder for the manufacturer (it may or may not be used and printed on
the bag).
DO NOT USE any HY10L which is in excess of 1 year beyond the manufacturer’s date noted on the package.
F. Refer to grout mixing directions located on the bag for proper mixing guidelines or contact ERICO.
G. Refer to Pump Fill or Gravity Fill Installation Instructions located in this Manual for proper installation guidelines.
H. The recommended temperature range of the HY10L Filler Material is 50 to 80°F (10 to 27°C). At no time during placing and
curing should the temperature of the coupler, rebar, and HY10L be allowed to be outside the range of 40 to 90°F (4 to 32°C).
I. Do not use more than 13.5% water by weight (0.8 gallons or 3.0L per 50 lb. (22.7Kg) bag) or obtain an ERICO Flow
Template reading of greater than 6.5” (16.5cm). Do not add any additives or admixtures to the HY10L.
J. Keep walls and panels undisturbed for at least 24 hours [at 68°F (20°C)]. Movement during curing will result in decreased
splice performance. Temperatures below 50°F (10°C) considerably increase the time it takes freshly placed grout to develop
strength. Therefore, there is a risk of damage or collapse if the structure is loaded before it develops adequate strength.
This strength may vary depending on the structural loading and the temperature. Therefore, the strength must be determined
by the structural engineer and should be based upon the expected construction loading.
K. The HY10L Filler Material is designed to be used with the LENTON INTERLOK Rebar Splicing System. Unauthorized use of
other grouts will void all warranties, whether expressed or implied.
L. While working on the job site, observe all Federal, State, and Local safety regulations.
1. Wear a hard hat and safety glasses.
2. Wear gloves to avoid cuts.
3. Prior to installing connections, read and understand all operating, mixing, and safety instructions found in this Manual
and on the HY10L bag.
M. Deviations from the specified recommendations outlined in this manual will void all warranties. It is the responsibility of the
user(s) to observe proper grouting conditions, (e.g., temperature, water to cement ratio, placing consistency, etc.) and utilize
quality workmanship.
N. ERICO reserves the right to revise these documents contained herein for any reason, including but not limited to conformity
with standards established by various agencies, utilization of advances in the state of technical arts, or the reflection of
changes in the design of any components, techniques, or procedures described or referred to herein.
