About Universal Clamp
The Swivel Coupler 5050mm is a robust, galvanized, drop-forged steel fitting that enables full-angle connections of standard scaffold tubes. Weighing roughly 1.11.4kg, it supports safe and flexible structural. Its swivel action, durable finish, and reliable construction make it a staple accessory for advanced scaffold configurations.
Engineered for Maximum StrengthBuilt with forged or pressed steel, our Swivel Coupler meets strict global standards, offering uncompromised performance in demanding environments. The steel body and 4 mm thickness ensure enduring stability, while securing dynamic platform loads with tensile strengths exceeding 50 kN. Its precise engineering allows reliable and repeatable performance across a wide range of sectors.
Versatile 360 Rotating ConnectionThe coupler's full 360-degree swivel mechanism enables universal angles and flexible configurations, making it optimal for complex scaffolding and pipe structures. Perfect for rapid adjustments on-site, the coupler's design minimizes manual labor and accommodates structure changes without the need for additional fittings.
Corrosion-Resistant and DurableProtected by electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, or painted finishes, our Swivel Coupler stands up to harsh weather and industrial conditions. Its robust construction and anti-corrosion properties increase lifespan, allow for multiple reuse cycles, and ensure safety regardless of site location or application.
FAQ's of Swivel Coupler:
Q: How is the Swivel Coupler installed and used in scaffolding systems?
A: The Swivel Coupler is installed by placing two 48.3 mm OD tubes into the coupler body and securing them using the fixed nut and bolt clamp system. It allows for easy 360-degree rotation, enabling you to connect tubes at virtually any angle for versatile scaffolding arrangements. The locking mechanism ensures the tubes remain secure during use.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using a double swivel coupler over a fixed coupler?
A: Double swivel couplers offer greater flexibility, enabling tubes to connect at any angle thanks to their 360-degree rotation. This adaptability is essential for complex structures and irregular geometries that fixed couplers cannot accommodate, making them preferable for construction, industrial maintenance, and oil & gas applications.
Q: When should I choose a heavy-duty variant of this coupler?
A: Use the heavy-duty variant when platform or structure loading will exceed the standard 1.5 kN but remain within the 2.0 kN per bearing capacity. Projects with greater safety margins or load demands, such as infrastructure or oil & gas platforms, benefit most from the heavy-duty version.
Q: Where is this Swivel Coupler commonly utilized?
A: It is widely used in infrastructure projects, the construction sector, oil & gas facilities, and industrial plant maintenance. Its robust, standard-compliant design makes it suitable for both temporary scaffolds and permanent pipe structures in demanding environments.
Q: What makes this coupler compliant with major international standards?
A: The Swivel Coupler is manufactured in full compliance with EN 74, BS 1139, and IS 2750, ensuring international compatibility, reliability, and safety. These standards mandate stringent testing for tensile strength, rotation capability, dimensions, and consistent high-quality materials.
Q: How does the surface treatment enhance the coupler's longevity and safety?
A: Electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, or painted coatings protect the steel body against corrosion, extending the coupler's lifespan and maintaining its structural integrity. This ensures safety in rainy, humid, or corrosive environments and allows repeated usage over multiple project cycles.
