Meet CHANCE® Combination (SS-RS) Helical Cast Transition by Hubbell

The type RS-SS combination transition is used mainly in compression applications in areas where soft/loose soils are located above hard/ dense soils.

 The transition section adapts type Square Shaft (SS) helical lead sections to type Round Shaft (RS) extensions. The type RS-SS combination transition is used mainly in compression applications in areas where soft/loose soils are located above hard/ dense soils. The type RS material is less susceptible to buckling, provides greater lateral capacity, and greater moment capacity, than type SS material. A square shaft lead will allow better penetration of the helices into hard/dense material than round shaft (RS). SS reduces the occurrence of “spin-out” (loss of thrust of helices).

Key Benefits

• Tapered design allows for smoother transition
• Reduced installing time (no tool change)
• Transition matches torque and compression capacity of respective shafts
• Standard hardware with SS extensions
• Faster lead time and availability of SS
• Meet project specifications with RS & SS
• Spin-Out prevention
• Inventory turnover by using existing SS Leads
• Major cost savings over old SS to RS Transition

The design should be prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer.
