Scaffold joint pin

The expandable scaffold joint pins we sell are inserted inside the ends of two 48.3mm diameter scaffolding tubes to extend them horizontally or vertically. These pins offer a secure and adjustable end-to-end connection, ensuring the stability and safety of your scaffolding structure or framework.

Our scaffold joiners are made from pressed galvanised steel, are approximately 250mm long and 38mm in diameter, and weigh approximately 0.80kg. A joint pin’s primary use is to increase the length of the standards (upright tubes), horizontal ledgers or handrails.

Description

What is a scaffolding joint pin?

An expandable scaffold joint pin is a metal component designed to securely connect 2 scaffolding tubes together by being inserted inside the ends to increase their length or height, enabling the construction of diverse scaffolding structures.

The joint pin has a tubular design, ensuring easy insertion and improved resistance to bending.

This expandable joint pin is approximately 250mm in length, 38mm in diameter and has a steel thickness of 3mm.

Joint pins offer a secure and adjustable internal connection between scaffold tubes, making them versatile for various scaffolding configurations, including:

Vertical extensions: Connecting tubes to increase the height of a scaffold.

Horizontal connection: Constructing platforms and walkways by extending tubes horizontally.

The actual load-bearing capacity of a scaffold relies on the tubes, couplers, braces, and base plates, not the joint pins. Joint pins simply connect these elements and so are not load-bearing.

The scaffolding joint pins we sell are made from pressed steel.

Joint pins fit standard 48.3mm diameter scaffolding tubes.

This product weighs approximately 0.80kg.

What is a scaffold joint pin made from?

Our joint pins are made from galvanised pressed steel.

Yes, joint pins undergo rigorous testing to meet quality and safety standards.

Material testing: The steel used is tested for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Load testing: Joint pins undergo rigorous load testing to ensure they can handle real-world conditions.

BS 1139 standards ensure the safety and structural integrity of scaffolding by setting standards for joint pin dimensions and material quality.

Scaffolding joint pins are often weather-resistant because they are coated in zinc, protecting them from rust and corrosion.

To install, insert the pin into the ends of both tubes and tighten the bolt to expand the internal plates and create a secure joint.

They can be used with horizontal tubes in a non-load-bearing situation, like the guardrails on a scaffold.

Joint pins should not be used with other scaffolding systems like Haki, Layher, or Cuplock.

The main difference between a joint pin and a sleeve is that joint pins are inserted inside the tubes to form a connection, whereas scaffold sleeves are clamped onto the exterior of the tubes.
