Overview The Bonin Drop Forged Double Coupler (Type YH158/YH158D) is a critical load-bearing component used to connect two scaffolding tubes at right angles. Manufactured through a precision drop-forging process, this clamp offers superior structural integrity compared to pressed steel couplers, making it the preferred choice for heavy-duty industrial and commercial projects.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Certified Safety (BS1139 Compliant): Our couplers are rigorously tested to meet BS 1139 and EN 74 standards. The anti-slip design ensures a secure grip on 48.3mm steel pipes, preventing structural movement under load.

  • Durable Surface Treatments:

    • Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG): Recommended for Middle-East projects or offshore applications. Provides maximum corrosion resistance against high humidity and salinity (Min thickness 45-60µm).

    • Electro Plated (EP) / Painted: Cost-effective solutions for standard construction environments in Europe and inland regions.

  • Robust Construction: Featuring high-grade T-bolts (Grade 8.8) and thickened washers, the Type YH158/YH158D coupler ensures easy maintenance and a long service life, reducing replacement costs for rental companies.

Application Scenarios:

  • Oil & Gas Refineries (HDG type recommended)

  • Infrastructure & Bridge Construction

  • Commercial Building Facades

  • Tube and Clamp Scaffolding Systems

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between EP and HDG finish for double couplers?

A: EP (Electro Plated) offers a smooth, shiny finish suitable for dry environments. HDG (Hot Dip Galvanized) involves dipping the coupler in molten zinc, creating a thick protective layer perfect for humid or coastal climates, offering 5-10+ years of rust protection.

Q: Can this coupler fit 48.6mm tubes?

A: Yes, our BS1139 48.3mm couplers are designed with a tolerance that allows them to securely clamp standard 48.3mm and JIS 48.6mm scaffolding tubes.

Q: What is the MOQ for Type YH158 couplers?

A: Our standard MOQ is 1 pallet (approx. 1000 pcs), but we support mixed container loading with other accessories like sleeve couplers and jack bases
