ERICO LENTON INTERLOK Rebar Splicing System - Manual (Page 5)

iii www.erico.com
Foreword
The LENTON ® INTERLOK System has been designed to exceed the ACI ® 318 Building Code Type 1 requirement of
developing, in both tension and compression, a minimum of 125 percent of specified yield for ASTM ® A706 and
A615 Grade 60 rebar specifications. In addition, the system will meet the requirements for ACI 318 Type 2, BS8110
and AS3600 for specified tensile strength performance. In order to achieve these stress levels, it is imperative that
all procedures shown in this manual and on the HY10L bag are closely followed.
HY10L High-Strength Filler Material has been developed exclusively for use in the LENTON INTERLOK system.
Use of other grouts will void all warranties and product claims, both expressed or implied.
Before beginning any project, we ask that the ENTIRE manual be reviewed, and thoroughly understood.
For technical assistance, on the LENTON INTERLOK System, or other ERICO Reinforcing Steel Splices,
