Tensioning Rods and Lugs

Tensioning Rods

  • DeMuth produces tensioning rods up to 20' in length and in diameters from 1/2" to 1"
  • Threads are cold-forged with a pointed end for easy hoop assembly and an exclusive graduated "lead-in" thread between the fully threaded and the plain portion of the rod - this eliminates the notch effect and the danger of reduced strength at this critical point where there is severe bending behind the lug during tensioning
  • Rods, including the threaded portion, are electro-zinc galvanized and finished with gold dichromate for extra corrosion resistance
  • DeMuth tensioning rods are specially bundled for ease of handling

Hi-Strength Lugs

  • All DeMuth's lug models are specially designed to match the field application and the diameter and strength of the rods being used.

  • For consistently strong and reliable tensioning hoop systems, DeMuth rods, lugs and nuts should always be used together.
