Tapercoup Couplers are designed to splice the same diameter bars where at least one bar can be rotated and moved freely in its axial direction. The couplers are machined to have taper threads inside which create a mechanical connection of two corresponding reinforcing steel. Typical applications include splicing of the column bars (or shearwalls), splicing of the beam bars, future extensions and segmental pours of concrete.
Meets or exceeds the requirements of major international building codes • A wide range of international rebar grades and deformation patterns can be used • Cross threading is eliminated with taper threaded design • Installs easily and fast • Slim design reduces concrete cover • Available in sizes 12 mm – 40 mm • Allows simple visual inspection
