Threaded Rebar Coupler Manufacturer | Leo Industries
Threaded Rebar Coupler Manufacturer
As a leading threaded rebar coupler manufacturer, Leo Industries specializes in producing high-quality mechanical splicing systems that ensure maximum load transfer between reinforcement bars. Threaded couplers provide a reliable alternative to traditional lap splicing, offering a more robust connection while reducing steel consumption and concrete congestion. Our manufacturing process utilizes advanced CNC technology to create precision threads that match the highest industry standards for tension and compression, making them ideal for modern high-rise and infrastructure projects.
Working Principle & Process Flow
The working principle of a threaded rebar coupler relies on the engagement of matching threads between the rebar ends and the internal sleeve of the coupler. The process begins with the preparation of the rebar ends, which are either cold-forged to increase the diameter or directly threaded using a specialized machine. Once the threads are formed, the rebar ends are screwed into the coupler until they meet at a center stop. This mechanical connection ensures a full butt-joint that behaves as a single continuous bar, effectively distributing structural stress without relying on the surrounding concrete's bond strength.

Maintenance & Safety Tips
ChecklistLeoindustries
Pre-Installation
Ensure rebar threads are free from rust, cement slurry, or dirt
Check that the coupler size matches the bar diameter perfectly
Inspect the coupler's internal threads for any manufacturing defects
Installation Practices
Use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure bars are fully engaged
Avoid cross-threading by aligning the bars straight before turning
Mark installed couplers with paint for visual inspection confirmation
FAQs — Threaded Rebar Couplers
Q1
What is the difference between parallel and tapered threads?
Parallel threads maintain a constant diameter and require a full engagement length, while tapered threads tighten as they are screwed in, allowing for faster installation but requiring precise machining.
Q2
Can threaded couplers be reused?
Mechanical couplers are typically designed for permanent structural use. Once embedded in concrete, they cannot be reused. However, if they have not been cast, they can be uninstalled if the threads are undamaged.
Q3
Is threading the rebar end necessary?
Yes, for threaded couplers, the rebar must have matching threads. This is done on-site or in a yard using a rebar threading machine.
Q4
Do threaded couplers affect the strength of the rebar?
When properly manufactured and installed, the coupler assembly is designed to be stronger than the rebar itself, ensuring structural failure would occur in the bar rather than the joint.
Q5
Are your couplers tested for seismic zones?
Yes, as a responsible manufacturer, our couplers are tested for cyclic and dynamic loading to ensure they perform safely during seismic events.
