ABSTRACT:
A timber pile connector for splicing timber pilings together comprising a section of pipe having a continuous sidewall and a hollow bore, a pair of opposing slots through the sidewall, and a bar passing through the slots. A first end of the bar has a first cut therein to thereby form a first upper retaining member and a first lower retaining member. A second end of the bar has a second cut therein to thereby form a second upper retaining member and a second lower retaining member. The first and the second upper retaining members are bent upward against an outer surface of the side wall of the section of pipe, while the first and the second lower retaining members bent downward against the outer surface of the sidewall, such that the retaining members fixedly secure the bar in the slots to thereby form a penetration barrier in the section of pipe.
