1. An assembly for clamping two substantially cylindrical rebar rods in a substantially perpendicular orientation, comprising:

  • a clamp configured to be forced onto a substantially perpendicular intersection of an upper rod and a lower rod, the clamp including a top surface, a first pair of substantially parallel opposite sides, and a second pair of substantially parallel opposite sides, and the clamp defining keyway configured to receive a key,the first pair of substantially parallel opposite sides defining a first open area configured to receive and allow passage of the upper rod,the second pair of substantially parallel opposite sides defining a second open area configured to receive and allow passage of the lower rod and defining on each opposite side a second bar-receiving area configured to receive the lower rod; and

    a key configured for insertion into the keyway of the clamp and to rest in the keyway of the clamp, the key configured to constrain downward movement by the lower rod away from the upper rod when the key is resting in the keyway of the clamp.
