Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a pressed steel swivel coupler used for?
A. A pressed steel swivel coupler connects two scaffold tubes at any angle, performing the same function as the drop forged swivel coupler but from pressed sheet steel for a more economical solution in lighter duty diagonal bracing and angled connection applications.
Q. When should I use a pressed steel swivel coupler?
A. Use a pressed steel swivel coupler for diagonal bracing and angled connections in lighter duty or temporary scaffold applications within its rated capacity. For primary structural bracing in heavily loaded scaffolds, specify the drop forged swivel coupler.
Q. What tube diameter does the pressed steel swivel coupler fit?
A. Pressed steel swivel couplers from Altrad Generation fit 3.2mm and 4.0mm scaffold tube.
Q. What is the load rating of a pressed steel swivel coupler?
A. Pressed steel swivel couplers carry a lower load rating than drop forged equivalents. Always check the product load data and confirm with your scaffold designer that the pressed steel swivel coupler meets the bracing load requirements for your specific scaffold configuration. For higher loads, specify the drop forged swivel coupler.
