Pre-assembled tension rod system
The following components make up a preassembled tension rod system.
- A solid end-threaded bar in diameters from M10 – M120
- Adjustable Clevis Forks that connect to the end of the bars
- Pin Sets to connect the adjustable clevis forks to steelwork
- Lock Covers to cover bar threads, and lock against the forks and turnbuckles
- Turnbuckles with lock covers, which enable tensioning, extra adjustment and allows for bars to be connected for longer assemblies
- European Technical Assessment ETA-21/0053

The carbon steel system can include options for corrosion protection e.g. galvanised, paint, powder-coating.
The stainless steel systems can include for various polished surface finishes e.g Bright Polished Finish to Satin Polished Finish.
Roof truss applications
Cross bracing applications
For requirements where rods may be used in roof truss applications, components such as 3-hole bracing discs, and hanger-turnbuckles are available.
When cross-bracing tension rods are situated in plane, components such as, cross-couplers and bracing discs are available.
