Traditional 'band and plate' type scaffold fitting. Clamps to steel scaffold tube (not aluminium) by tightening with podger 'scaffold key'.
Internal end-to-end vertical connection of 48.3mm O.D. scaffold tubes.
For securing scaffold boards, particularly in windy conditions. Drop-forged gate.
Effectively one half of a swivel coupler with a hole through the centre.
Clamps 48.3mm tube. No hole in the back of the fitting, which is flat and un-plated, suitable for welding. Self-colour.

Connects 48.3mm O.D. to 50.8mm O.D. tube at 90°.
Connects 3″ O.D. tube to 2″ O.D. tube at a right angle. The smaller half of the coupler will take a 48.3mm scaffold tube.
Connects 3″ O.D. tube to 2″ O.D. tube in parallel at a variable angle. The smaller half of the coupler will take a 48.3mm scaffold tube.
External end-to-end connection of 48.3mm scaffold tubes horizontally or vertically. Disk bearing plate and shaped washers for better bite and easier release.
90° fixing for 48.3mm scaffold tube. BS1139 part 2 1982 – SWL to BS5973.
Clamps 48.3mm scaffold tubes at 90° (i.e. transoms and putlogs to ledgers). BS1139 part 2 1982 – SWL to BS5973. Similar function to a wrap-over putlog coupler, but has jaws that wrap over and clamp both sides of the transom.
150mm x 150mm. For distributing load from scaffold tube standards to the ground. Self-colour. Base plates typically need to be seated on timber sole pads or plastic floor protectors.
Nails to the top of a timber toe board to secure it to an upright scaffold tube. Use in pairs at least.
The bolt passes between the boards. The dome and the hook tighten onto the scaffold boards. The head of the bolt is recessed in the top of the dome when the fitting is fully tightened. Can be used to secure boards flat as well as upright for a wall, or diagonally for a fan. Can accomodate some other types of board.
