FAQs

What is the primary use of a swivel scaffolding clamp?

A swivel scaffolding clamp is used to connect two scaffolding tubes at a free angle, allowing for flexible and adaptable scaffolding configurations, especially useful for diagonal bracing or complex structures.

What tube diameter is compatible with this clamp?

This clamp is designed for scaffolding tubes with an outer diameter of 48 mm (4.83 cm).

What material is the clamp made from?

The clamp is made of hot-dip galvanized steel for durability and corrosion resistance. The T-bolt and collar nut are made of yellow galvanized steel.

Does the clamp meet safety standards?

Yes, all couplings are produced in accordance with EN 74 and are labelled with the corresponding test mark.

What size spanner is needed for the collar nut?

A 22mm spanner is required to tighten the collar nut.

Can I use this clamp for right-angle connections?

While primarily designed for swivel (free angle) connections, it can be used for right-angle connections if positioned accordingly, but a dedicated right-angle coupler might be more efficient for that specific purpose.

How should I maintain the clamp?

Keep the clamp clean and dry. Periodically inspect for damage or corrosion and ensure the T-bolt and nut threads are clean for proper tightening.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not fit tube

Ensure the scaffolding tube has a 48mm outer diameter, as this clamp is specifically designed for this size.

Difficulty tightening the nut

Check for debris or rust on the T-bolt threads and inside the collar nut. Clean threads and try again. Ensure the correct 22mm spanner is used.

Connection feels loose

Verify that the collar nut is tightened sufficiently with the appropriate spanner. Re-tighten securely. Inspect the T-bolt and clamp for any signs of damage that might prevent a tight fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers flexibility for angled connections in scaffolding.
  • Durable construction from hot-dip galvanized steel for longevity.
  • Meets EN 74 safety standards for reliable use.
  • Includes necessary hardware (T-bolt and collar nut).

Cons

  • Limited to 48mm tube diameters; not universally compatible with all scaffolding sizes.
  • Swivel function requires proper tightening to maintain structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the two scaffolding tubes to be connected.
  2. Position the Swivel Scaffolding Clamp to embrace both tubes at the desired angle.
  3. Insert the T-bolt through the designated holes in the clamp and tubes.
  4. Thread the collar nut onto the T-bolt.
  5. Tighten the collar nut using a 22mm spanner until the connection is secure and stable. Ensure a firm grip without overtightening.

Compatibility:

  • Tube Diameter: This clamp is designed specifically for scaffolding tubes with an outer diameter of 48 mm (4.83 cm). It is not compatible with tubes of different diameters.
  • Standards: Suitable for use with scaffolding systems compliant with EN 74 standards.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the clamp with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the clamp for any signs of damage, rust, or wear. Ensure the T-bolt and collar nut are free from corrosion and function smoothly.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place when not in use to maximize its lifespan.
