In construction, there are also prop couplers and bridge leg swivel couplers. These special forged swivel couplers are used to connect props and bridge posts to the scaffold tubes in the construction scaffolding, shoring, and frame. The size includes O.D 60mm, O.D 76mm, O.D 89mm, and O.D 42mm.

O.D 48.3 x O.D 76mm Forged Swivel Couplers

O.D 48.3xO.D76mm Forged swivel coupler is called prop swivel coupler. It is a type of double swivel coupler too. But one-half coupler connects with the normal O.D 48.3mm scaffold tube, while another half coupler is used to connect with the 76mm diameter outer tube of the adjustable scaffolding props.  It is used a lot in the shoring scaffold. Wellmade customs the O.D 48x76nm forged swivel coupler with 21mm cross nut or 22mm flange nut according to your construction requirement.

O.D 48.3 x O.D 60mm Forged Swivel Couplers
