Description
What is an anti-tamper Heras fencing coupler?
An anti-tamper lockable fencing coupler is a specialised connector that joins temporary fencing panels together, offering enhanced security. Unlike standard couplers with simple nut and bolt systems, the anti-tamper couplers feature a unique security nut that requires a special anti-tamper spanner for tightening or loosening.
The design of the lockable coupler is that the nut used to tighten it is not exposed, so unlike the standard connectors, you cannot gain access to the nut or even loosen it with a traditional spanner.
What are the dimensions of a Heras anti-tamper fence coupler?
The dimensions of an anti-tamper fencing coupler are approximately:
- Height: 140mm.
- Depth: 75mm.
- Width: 35mm.
How much does an anti-tamper Heras fencing coupler weigh?
The weight of an anti-tamper lockable fencing coupler is approximately 0.41kg.
What are Heras anti-tamper lockable fencing couplers made from?
Anti-tamper fencing couplers are made from galvanised carbon steel, a durable material that resists weather, rust, and corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
What standards do the anti-tamper Heras couplers comply with?
Heras anti-tamper couplers adhere to BS EN 10244-2 standards to ensure safety and quality.
What does anti-tamper mean?
Each coupler has been specially made so you cannot tighten or loosen them without using a special anti-tamper spanner. You will also see the rounded edges in the security couplers’ design, making them impossible to prise open.
How do you lock the Heras anti-tamper fencing coupler?
You’ll need a special anti-tamper spanner to secure an anti-tamper fencing coupler. Here’s how to lock it:
- Align the coupler around the uprights of the two fencing panels you wish to connect.
- Use the anti-tamper spanner to tighten the security nut on the bolt; this will securely lock the panels together.
What process is used to make Heras anti-tamper fence couplers?
Pre-electro-galvanised steel is coated with a thin layer of zinc before further processing. This electro-galvanising process involves passing an electric current through a zinc-ion solution, causing zinc to adhere to the steel’s surface, forming a protective coating.
How do you connect the anti-tamper couplers to Heras fence panels?
The same way you would connect a standard coupler. Position the two halves around the upright tubing of the fencing panels, then securely tighten the nut and bolt with the spanner.
How many anti-tamper fencing couplers are required per panel?
Two anti-tamper fencing couplers per panel are recommended for optimal security and stability. Here is why:
Enhanced security: Using two couplers per panel significantly strengthens the fence and improves its overall security. This robust configuration makes it considerably more challenging for unauthorised individuals to dismantle or compromise the fencing.
Improved stability: Using two anti-tamper couplers per panel enhances the fence’s stability, increasing resistance to strong winds and other external forces that could damage or dislodge the panels.
Are Heras anti-tamper fencing couplers reusable?
Yes, anti-tamper fencing couplers are reusable. As long as they remain undamaged and in good condition, they can be used multiple times to connect temporary fencing panels.
Can Heras anti-tamper fence couplers be used with hoarding and barriers?
Yes, anti-tamper fencing couplers can be used with hoarding and barrier systems. As long as the hoarding or barrier panels have suitable frames or uprights, these couplers can effectively secure them, providing an extra layer of security, especially in high-risk areas or when protecting valuable assets.
