Description

Ancon Shear Load Connectors provide an efficient solution for transferring shear load across construction and movement joints in reinforced concrete. Unlike traditional dowelled or keyed joints, these connectors are designed to allow movement while maintaining effective shear transfer across the joint.

Each connector is supplied as a two-part assembly, consisting of a sleeve component and a dowel component. The sleeve is fixed to the formwork before concrete is poured, helping to ensure accurate dowel alignment and reducing the need for drilling or complex formwork preparation on site.

Manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, Ancon Shear Load Connectors are suitable for a wide range of building and civil engineering applications, including floor slabs, suspended slabs, structural movement joints, beam-to-wall connections, bridge abutments, parapets and diaphragm wall/slab connections.

The range includes DSD and DSDQ double dowel shear connectors for higher load applications, as well as ESD, ESDQ and ED single dowel options for lighter duty applications. Acoustic and lockable dowel options are also available for specialist project requirements.
