The scaffold swivel couplers we stock allow flexible connections between scaffolding tubes at any angle. These load-bearing clamps weigh approximately 1.05kg each.
The swivel coupler comprises two interlocking halves and allows for a full 360-degree rotation of scaffolding poles, accommodating a range of tube lengths. Scaffolding swivels are typically used to fix diagonal bracing on scaffold structures; they have two sections that wrap around both tubes. Then, both bolts and nuts are tightened on each section using a scaffolding spanner, creating a secure connection.

A swivel coupler is a versatile fitting that connects scaffolding tubes at different angles and is commonly used for diagonal bracing.
The swivel coupler consists of two interconnected halves, enabling the rotation of scaffolding tubes through a full 360-degree range and accommodating various tube lengths.
Standard scaffold swivel couplers typically weigh approximately 1.05 kilograms.
The swivel clamps we sell are designed to fit 48.3mm diameter scaffolding tubes, a standard size used on most scaffold structures.
Swivel couplers are load-bearing fittings designed to connect scaffolding tubes at various angles, providing structural support.
Swivel couplers enable variable-angled connections, whereas double couplers facilitate fixed 90-degree joints between scaffolding tubes.
The European and British standard BS EN 74-1:2005 outlines safety requirements and technical specifications for scaffold couplers, including swivel clamps.
A swivel coupler can hold a typical load limit of 6.25kN against a slip at tightening torque of 54Nm.
Although susceptible to corrosion in harsh environments, our high-quality galvanised steel swivel couplers provide robust protection against rust.
Yes, they can be reused; however, you should always inspect the coupler thoroughly for signs of damage, such as cracks, excessive wear, or corrosion. Replace any damaged swivels immediately.
Yes, swivel couplers are very safe if you use them correctly and take care of them.
Scaffold companies often store their fittings in a steel fitting bin. They should be stored in a clean and dry area to help prevent rusting.
These fittings are made from high-quality galvanised steel.
Swivel couplers may also be called swivel clamps, swivels or rotating couplers.
Yes, a swivel coupler can be used with aluminium tubes that have a 48.3mm diameter.
You can buy our swivel couplers in packs of 50.
The most distinctive feature is its swivel mechanism, which rotates freely, allowing for flexible angled connections.
The tightening torque of 54Nm is recommended for swivel couplers to ensure a secure connection and optimal load-bearing capacity.
Common uses include:
Connecting sway braces: These are typically 10ft tubes fixed to the front of a scaffold in a diagonal position across a single bay. The swivels are attached near the top and bottom of the tube.
Creating diagonal bracing: Braces stabilise the scaffolding structure, and the swivel is used to connect the bottom of the brace to an upright standard, whereas the top of the brace is usually fixed to the ledger with a double coupler.
Joining tubes at different angles: Swivel couplers provide flexibility for uneven terrain or specific construction needs.
