Sleeve Coupler

Sleeve Coupler

A sleeve coupler, also known as a scaffold sleeve or pipe coupler, is a type of coupler used in scaffolding systems to connect two scaffold tubes end-to-end. It is designed to create a strong and secure joint between two tubes, extending their length and providing continuous support along the length of the scaffold structure.The sleeve coupler consists of a hollow cylindrical sleeve with clamps on either side. The scaffold tubes are inserted into each end of the sleeve, and the clamps are tightened to hold the tubes firmly in place. Sleeve couplers are commonly used to extend the length of scaffold tubes, creating longer runs for horizontal or vertical support.Sleeve couplers are crucial components in scaffolding systems, as they allow for the safe and stable extension of scaffold structures to reach different heights or spans. They are often used in conjunction with other types of couplers, such as swivel couplers and fixed couplers, to construct a wide range of scaffold configurations.As with all scaffold components, proper installation and adherence to safety guidelines and regulations are essential when using sleeve couplers. The couplers must be securely tightened to ensure a stable and reliable connection between scaffold tubes. Regular inspection and maintenance are also necessary to identify any signs of wear, damage, or loosening of the couplers to maintain the safety and integrity of the scaffold structure during use.
