Ferrule Locator




    The Reid™ Locator Cap is a precision placement accessory used to maintain the correct location, orientation, and projection of cast-in threaded inserts such as Threaded Metric Inserts (TIMs), Stainless Steel TIMs (TCMs), and Elephant Foot™ Inserts. Installed over the insert before casting, the Locator Cap locks the insert into position and ensures it is held at the proper depth and angle relative to the formwork. This minimises the risk of movement during pouring and vibration, resulting in a consistently accurate fixing point once the concrete element is demoulded.

    Used widely in both building and civil precast operations, the Locator Cap integrates seamlessly with Reid™ Metric Threaded Inserts, forming part of a complete system for reliable cast-in connections. Designed specifically to match each insert size (e.g., FWFL16 for M16 stainless TIMs), the Locator Cap ensures repeatable installation quality and supports efficient factory workflows while reducing rework and misalignment issues.
