D360 Taper-Lock Weldable Coupler
The Taper-Lock® D360 Weldable Couplers providea convenient means of connecting reinforcing bars to structural steel plates or sections. Shorter than the standard coupler, it has a tapered thread at one end. The other end is chamfered and is welded directly to the steel.
The Taper-Lock Weldable Coupler is suitable for welding to structural steels. The load conditions at the connection must be determined by the engineer along with the type and size of weld required. Another important consideration is the type of electrode to be used, which must be matched to the properties of the plate and tube, and to the site conditions under which the welding will be undertaken. Welders should be
qualified for the type of weld required
