TYPE 1

SERVISPLICE

Standard Normal Coupler

Threaded mechanical coupler for standard same-diameter or transition splicing. Full tensile strength with 30-second CNC threading. Proven across 1,000+ Hong Kong projects, compliant with HK CoP 2013 Cl. 3.2.8.3, AC133, and BS8110.

TYPE 2

SEISPLICE

Standard Ductility Coupler

Passes cyclic tension-compression testing to Stages 1–3 (0.95fy, 2Ey, 5Ey). For seismic zones, columns, and CoP 2013 Cl. 9.9.1.2(e) / 9.9.2.1(e) locations. Engineered to meet international seismic standards as Bosa expands into new markets.

Why Bosa

Engineering Advantage

Bar-Break Guarantee

Every Bosa splice is engineered to exceed the tensile strength of the parent rebar. In failure testing, the bar breaks before the coupler — the definitive proof of connection integrity. Verified across more than 1,000 projects in Hong Kong.

Connection > Rebar Strength

Proprietary CNC Manufacturing

700-tonne CNC crimping press and dynamic rolled thread technology deliver consistent thread geometry and dimensional accuracy across every coupler in every batch — the same precision that made Bosa the market leader in Hong Kong.

700T CNC · Dynamic Rolled Threads

Certified Quality Chain

ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing in Taiwan. SGS-tested raw steel at source. HOKLAS-accredited batch testing in Hong Kong. Full traceability from raw material to installed coupler — a quality system we are bringing to every new market we enter.

Complete Range Coverage

Full diameter range from Ø12 mm to Ø50 mm, including transition couplers for different-diameter splicing and grout-filled variants for precast and MIC applications. Available in both metric and imperial bar sizes.

Applications

Engineered for Every
Structural Condition

From standard column splicing to seismic-critical connections and modular construction, Bosa couplers are specified across the full spectrum of reinforced concrete applications — proven in Hong Kong and ready for international projects.

Precast Columns & Walls

GROUTSPLICE grout-filled couplers enable precise rebar positioning in precast elements with visual fill confirmation — a system proven across Hong Kong's precast construction sector.

MIC Modules

Modular Integrated Construction requires grout-filled couplers that accommodate module-to-module rebar connections with guaranteed fill — a growing method in Hong Kong and across the Asia-Pacific region.

Seismic Zones

SEISPLICE Type 2 ductility couplers pass cyclic tension-compression testing to Stages 1–3, meeting CoP 2013 Cl. 9.9 seismic requirements — critical for projects in seismically active regions worldwide.

Transfer Floors & Beam-Column Joints

High-stress transfer structures require full-strength Type 1 or Type 2 couplers with bar-break guarantee and Go/No-Go gauge inspection — a standard Bosa has upheld across over 1,000 Hong Kong projects.

Retrofit & Remedial Works

ISPLICE hydraulic compression couplers require no bar rotation, making them ideal for retrofitting existing structures with fixed-orientation rebar — a common requirement in ageing infrastructure across all markets.

Congested Rebar Cages

ISPLICE's patented wedge-plate system eliminates the need for bar rotation in densely reinforced sections where conventional threading is impractical — a solution developed for Hong Kong's high-density construction environment.

Code Compliance & Testing

Verified to the Standard

Every Bosa coupler is manufactured and tested to meet or exceed the requirements of the Hong Kong Code of Practice for Structural Use of Concrete 2013, with full traceability through HOKLAS-accredited laboratories. As we expand into Australia, the US, and Southeast Asia, we are aligning with the relevant local standards in each market.

TYPE 1

Non-Ductility Coupler

HK CoP 2013
Cl. 3.2.8.3

Type 1 couplers (SERVISPLICE) must develop the full tensile strength of the connected bars in a static tensile test. The connection must be stronger than the bar — a bar-break result is the acceptance criterion.

Test Requirement
Static tensile test · Bar-break criterion
TYPE 2

Ductility Coupler

HK CoP 2013
Cl. 3.2.8.4

Type 2 couplers (SEISPLICE, ISPLICE, GROUTSPLICE) must pass cyclic tension-compression testing across three stages, simulating seismic loading conditions. Required at all CoP 2013 Cl. 9.9.1.2(e) and 9.9.2.1(e) locations.

Batch Testing Schedule

All production batches are tested at a HOKLAS-accredited laboratory in Hong Kong. Specimen count scales with batch size to ensure statistical confidence. Equivalent third-party testing will be established in each new market.

QC Inspection

Go/No-Go Gauge Inspection

Every coupler undergoes Go/No-Go gauge inspection prior to dispatch. Thread geometry is verified against dimensional tolerances to ensure field installation meets design intent. Non-conforming units are rejected and quarantined.
