Bent Bars

1. Standard Bar Bends include only Types 1-32, T1-T16 and S1-15.

2. All dimensions are out-to-out of bar except “A” and “G” on standard 180 degree and 135 degree hooks.
3. “J” dimension on 180 degree hooks to be shown only where necessary to restrict hook size, otherwise standard hooks are to be used.
4. Where “J” is not shown, “J” will be kept equal to or less than “H” on truss bars. Where “J” can exceed “H”, it will be shown.
5. “H” dimension stirrups to be shown where necessary to fit within concrete.
6. Unless otherwise noted, DIAMETER “D” is the same for all bends and hooks on a bar.
7. Where slope differs from 45 degree dimensions, “H” and “K” must be shown.
8. Where bars are to be bent more accurately than standard bending tolerances, bending dimensions which require closer fabrication should have limits indicated.
9. Figures in circles show types.
10. For recommended diameter “D”, of bends, hooks, etc., see CRSI or ACI tables.
11. Type S1-S15, T1-T16 apply to bar sizes #3 through #8.
12. “J” dimension on type T14, T16 is assumed to be equal to “K” if not specified.
