About Drop Forged Double Coupler
Forged double couplers are used to join two scaffolding tubes together at a 90 degree angle. They are made from forged steel, and the design allows for secure connections and superior strength. The double couplers are designed to be used with tubes of the same diameter, and they are available in different sizes to fit a range of different tube diameters. They are also available in both galvanized and ungalvanized versions, allowing for use in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Durable Construction for Heavy Duty ApplicationsManufactured from robust drop forged steel and engineered with a thickness between 5 to 8 mm, this double coupler ensures longevity and high load capacity. Its design targets demanding environments, delivering both reliability and performance in construction support and scaffolding pipe joints.
Optimized for Safety and EfficiencyWith a precise bolt size of 1/2 inch (21 mm) and a standardized hole for 48.3 mm OD scaffold pipes, the coupler provides secure connections. Electro or hot dip galvanized surface finishing assures enhanced corrosion resistance, thus supporting safer and more durable scaffolding structures.
FAQ's of Drop Forged Double Coupler:
Q: How is the Drop Forged Double Coupler installed on scaffold pipes?
A: The coupler is attached by aligning two 48.3 mm OD scaffold pipes at a right angle and securing the connection using the integrated T-bolt, nut, and washer. The bolt should be tightened to ensure a firm grip, providing a stable support for scaffolding structures.
Q: What benefits does drop forged steel provide for this coupler?
A: Drop forged steel offers exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to deformation, enabling the coupler to support loads up to 6.25 kN. It also enhances longevity and reliability, especially in heavy duty environments such as construction sites.
Q: When should electro galvanized or hot dip galvanized surface finishes be chosen?
A: Electro galvanized finishing is typically used for general construction sites for regular corrosion protection. Hot dip galvanizing, with its thicker coating, is preferred in highly corrosive or outdoor environments to provide long-term rust resistance.
Q: Where is this double coupler most commonly used?
A: It is primarily used in scaffolding pipe joints for construction support, renovation, maintenance, and other heavy duty industrial applications where secure and durable pipe connections are required.
Q: What is the minimum quantity that can be ordered and how is the product packaged?
A: The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 500 pieces. The couplers are supplied either in gunny bags or cartons, depending on customer preference and shipping requirements.
Q: How does the coupler's operating temperature range benefit construction projects?
A: With an operating range from -20C to +50C, the coupler remains reliable under varying climatic conditions, making it suitable for use in both cold and hot environments without compromising performance or safety.
Q: What makes the Drop Forged Double Coupler reusable?
A: Its sturdy construction, high tensile strength, and superior corrosion-resistant finish allow for repeated installation and dismantling across multiple projects without significant loss of performance or structural integrity.
