Couplers are essential scaffolding connectors used to join two pipes or tubes in construction, ensuring stability and structural integrity. They provide a secure grip, allowing scaffolding frameworks to be assembled quickly and safely. Couplers come in various types, including swivel, fixed, and sleeve couplers, to accommodate different scaffolding configurations and load requirements.
