Description
What is a roofing clamp?
Roofing couplers are essential metal fittings used in scaffolding construction to securely fasten corrugated iron sheets to steel scaffold tubes, forming the roof of a tin hat structure.
Purpose: They provide a robust and stable connection, ensuring the secure attachment of roofing sheets to the scaffold frame on a temporary roof.
Function: Roofing clamps feature a clamping mechanism that securely attaches the corrugated sheets to scaffold tubes.
What are the dimensions of a roofing coupler?
Overall length: approximately 200mm.
Height: approximately 60mm.
The centre section of the roofing coupler features a 3-inch corrugation to match and mould to the shape of the corrugated roofing sheet, and it holds 48.3mm scaffold poles.
How much does a roofing clamp weigh?
This coupler weighs approximately 1kg.
What is a roofing coupler made from?
These fittings are made from pressed galvanised steel.
What are the standards for roofing clamps?
All of our roofing couplers comply with BS1139 and EN74 standards.
How many roofing couplers are needed for a single corrugated sheet?
Two roofing clamps should be used for each corrugated metal roof sheet to ensure secure attachment.
Are roofing couplers a load-bearing fitting?
Roof couplers are essential for securing the roofing sheets to the scaffold; however, their primary function is NOT to support the structural loads of the temporary roof.
How are roofing clamps connected to a corrugated metal sheet?
The following steps outline the typical connection process for roofing couplers:
- The roofing clamp is designed to be inserted through a horizontal tube that forms part of the scaffold frame.
- You then securely tighten the coupler onto the scaffold tube.
- The corrugated iron sheet is then carefully positioned and aligned on the corrugated section of the coupler.
- Attach the second coupler to the other end of the sheet, following the same process.
- Repeat this process for each sheet to create a continuous roof covering.
These steps are just a guide; only qualified scaffolders should install them on a temporary roof structure.
