Short on time? This guide shows exactly what to spec, how to choose bars, couplers, bits, and accessories, and what’s moving fast right now. We support small-to-medium jobs across NJ/NY/CT/PA with quick quotes, small bundles, and 1–3 day quick-ship on common items.

What you actually need to decide

Bar type: hollow bar (SDA) vs threaded bar (when each is better).
Diameter/thread + coating (plain/galv/epoxy).
Lengths & couplers (cut-to-length, splice plan).
Bits & accessories (bits, centralizers, grout tubes).
Loads/testing (working & proof loads, inspector notes).

Hollow bar vs threaded bar (simple rule of thumb)

Hollow bar (SDA): Faster installation in weak/loose soils; drill-grout in one step; great for small crews.
Threaded bar: Flexible, widely compatible hardware; easy to cut/splice; good where ground conditions allow conventional drilling.
