Rebar mechanical splice - ballpark cost?
Rebar mechanical splice - ballpark cost?
(OP)
Does anyone have a rule of thumb for this? (something like 'a mechanical splice costs about the same as a XX diameter lap splice')
I've tried contacting splice vendors for cost info, but I'm really more interested in installed cost of a mechanical coupling compared to the installed cost of a lap.
Also, would anyone care to name a particular favorite brand of mechanical splice?
Thanks for your time.

As for installation costs, at a time long ago - as a Contractor, assuming that installation cost equals material cost was usually a reasonable assumption (if we did not have better data). However this applies only to items of MINOR value in an overall project estimate - I would never do this as a significant part of bid preparation.

Check your lbs per splice - by bar size, and confirm the other info. Coupler $ will also vary by size.
One caveat - some manufacturers will give optimistic prices so their products are purchased.
