California Reinforcing Steel Contractor (C-50 License) Practice Exam

Spirals without spacers are described as unassembled. The idea here is to distinguish whether any spacer hardware is attached to the spiral to maintain the turn-to-turn spacing. A continuous spiral delivered without spacers is simply a coil ready for installation, hence unassembled. If spacers were included, it would be an assembled spiral. The terms coiled or tied refer to the form or tying method, not to the presence or absence of spacers, so they don’t fit the description of lacking spacers.
