Scaffold sleeve couplers connect two 48.3mm diameter steel scaffold tubes end to end to increase their length. This fitting is ideal for extending tubes horizontally and vertically, such as upright standards (legs), ledgers and guardrails on a scaffold structure. Our sleeves are made from pressed steel and weigh approximately 1.1kg each; they can also be called joiners, pressed sleeves, sleeve clamps, scaffolding sleeves, connectors or external couplers.
A scaffolding sleeve coupler typically consists of a cylindrical metal sleeve with a threaded inner surface, a threaded set screw to secure the sleeve onto the scaffolding tubes, and a lock nut to prevent loosening.
Scaffold sleeves are often combined with single couplers, right-angle double clamps, and swivel fittings to create a scaffold structure using metal scaffolding poles.

A sleeve coupler is a metal fitting that connects two scaffold tubes end-to-end externally, extending the scaffolding structure to a greater height or length. Typically made of pressed steel, sleeve couplers are durable, weather-resistant, and essential for ensuring the stability and safety of scaffolding systems.
This coupler is approximately 3.5mm thick and suitable for use with 48.3mm diameter tubes.
Yes, a sleeve coupler is a load-bearing component in a scaffolding system. It’s designed to withstand the weight and stresses applied to the scaffold structure, including the weight of workers, materials, and environmental factors.
Unlike the expandable joint pin, the sleeve coupler is fixed externally to the tubes and is load-bearing, whereas the joint pin is inserted internally and cannot support heavy loads.
This fitting weighs approximately 1.1kg.
Scaffolding sleeves are made from pressed galvanised steel.
Our scaffold sleeves have been quality tested and conform to EN74-18 and British standards.
To connect a sleeve coupler to a scaffold tube, insert the ends of the two tubes into the opposite sides of the sleeve coupler and then tighten the set screw using a wrench or socket set. Ensure the connection is firm and secure, tightening the set screw further if necessary.
A scaffold sleeve connects the ends of two 48.3mm steel scaffolding tubes.
Yes, a sleeve coupler is a versatile fitting that connects scaffold tubes in vertical and horizontal configurations and is often used to lengthen handrails and ledgers on scaffolding structures.
In addition to scaffolding, sleeve couplers can be used for various applications such as lighting rigs, staging, guardrails, and to increase the height of radio masts.
Sleeve couplers typically have a slip resistance of 5.50 kN, meaning they can withstand a force of 5,500 Newtons before the connection fails.
The size of the hex nuts on a sleeve coupler is 7/16th.
Sleeve couplers can be tightened or loosened using a standard scaffolding spanner.
Pressed steel is the process of making steel by shaping metal sheets into various shapes and components using a mechanical or hydraulic press.
