Leo Industries stands as a prominent **Tapered Coupler supplier in Sangli**, serving the construction needs across the Satara and Kolhapur regions of Maharashtra. Our **tapered threaded couplers** provide a highly reliable, full-strength mechanical splice for TMT reinforcement bars. By utilizing a strong, self-aligning taper thread, these couplers offer exceptional performance and a fast, simple installation process, making them an ideal replacement for traditional rebar lapping in critical structures.
Precision & Strength of Tapered Threading
The key to the **tapered coupler**'s success lies in its design. The ends of the rebar are prepared using a cold-forging and threading machine to create an external taper thread. The coupler itself has a matching internal taper thread. This design ensures that when the coupler is screwed onto the bar ends, a self-aligning, rigid, and high-strength connection is achieved. This method is preferred for projects in Sangli requiring high fatigue resistance and superior structural performance, guaranteeing a splice that is stronger than the parent bar.

Quality Installation Procedure
ChecklistLeoindustries
Bar Preparation
Rebar ends must be cut straight and then cold-forged for strength
Ensure the rebar is threaded using the approved tapered threading machine
Protect the threads with a cap until they are ready for coupling
Coupling Procedure
Thread the coupler fully onto the first bar using manual rotation
Rotate the second bar into the coupler until the coupler is centered
Ensure the joint is tight—a torque wrench is not strictly needed for the tapered connection
FAQs for Tapered Thread Couplers
Q1
What makes a tapered coupler superior to a parallel coupler?
The tapered thread design is self-aligning and self-locking, meaning the joint gets tighter under load. It also offers greater tolerance for installation errors compared to some parallel systems.
Q2
Do I need to cold forge the rebar before applying a tapered thread?
Yes, for maximum strength and compliance, the bar end must first be cold-forged (upset) to increase the effective diameter before threading the taper, ensuring the core bar strength is maintained.
Q3
Are these couplers suitable for Sangli's seismic requirements?
Yes, our tapered couplers are engineered to achieve 100% of the bar's specified ultimate tensile strength, meeting or exceeding Type 2 performance criteria required for earthquake-resistant structures.
Q4
Can a tapered coupler connect a TMT bar to an anchor plate?
Yes, our system includes tapered couplers designed to connect a threaded TMT bar directly to an anchor bolt or a structural steel plate with a matching internal taper thread.
Q5
What equipment is needed for the on-site preparation in Sangli?
On-site installation requires a cold forging (upset) machine and a specialized tapered threading machine to accurately prepare the bar ends for the coupler connection.
