Leo Industries provides tapered rebar couplers in Sangli for fast, high-strength bar splicing. The precision tapered thread profile promotes reliable self-centering, quick make-up, and excellent axial load transfer, making them ideal for structures requiring consistent mechanical connections and compact joints.
Working Principle & Process Flow
Tapered couplers use mating tapered threads on the bar and sleeve. As the bars are screwed in, the taper geometry creates a wedging action that increases contact pressure and alignment. Tightening to the specified torque completes the joint, ensuring uniform load transfer with minimal slip.

FAQs — Tapered Couplers
Q1 What defines a tapered rebar coupler?
It is a threaded sleeve using a tapered thread form that provides self-centering and high contact pressure, enabling strong, low-slip mechanical splices.
Q2 Why use tapered couplers in Sangli projects?
They speed up assembly, deliver high tensile performance, and suit congested reinforcement zones common in urban projects across Sangli.
Q3 Do they need special tools?
Use approved threading equipment during bar preparation and a calibrated torque wrench for installation and verification.
Q4 Are tapered couplers suitable for seismic detailing?
They are widely used where mechanical splices are specified for ductility and strength, subject to project codes and approvals.
Q5 What documentation is provided in Sangli?
We support with datasheets, method statements, and inspection records to help rapid approvals and handovers in Sangli.
