Dowel bars, the reinforcing steel that protrudes through formwork, have long been the traditional method for joining bars in segmental pours. Recently, many contractors and construction product suppliers have discovered that dowel bar substitutes can improve their schedules and the bottom line by eliminating costly form repair, bending and rebending rebar and reducing protruding dowel hazards. Lenton form saver is ideal for eliminating protruding dowel bars in segmental pour applications and temporary openings. It is uniquely designed with the Lenton tapered thread, factory installed thread protector and a mounting plate for easy attachment to the form.
