What a coupler does

The fitting that
holds the rig.

A coupler is the fitting that connects gear to a tube. A half coupler clamps a single tube for a fixed point - lights, speakers, pipe-and-drape. A swivel joins two tubes at any angle. Self-lock and quick couplers are fast grip-under-load fixings. All of them fit 48 to 51mm scaffold, truss and fly-bar tube, and all are supplied load-rated and stamped with a working load limit.

TSA stocks the range in black and silver, built to a stated safety factor and consistent with the AS 4991 approach to rigging hardware. It is one part of the full Lifting & Rigging range.

FAQ

Questions
about clamps & couplers.

If your question isn't here, call us or send your tube size and load - we'll come back with the right coupler for the job.

Every coupler in the range fits 48 to 51 mm tube, the standard outside diameter for scaffold, truss chord and theatre fly bar. Half, swivel, self-lock and quick couplers all share that fit, so a single fitting standard works across your rig. Tell us your tube and we will confirm the right coupler before you order.
A half coupler is a single jaw that clamps to one tube and gives you a fixed-point connection - the fit for hanging lights, speakers and pipe-and-drape. A swivel coupler joins two tubes and rotates a full 360 degrees, so it handles bracing, cross beams and non-standard structures where the tubes meet at an angle.
Half couplers are stocked at 100, 500 and 750 kg; swivel couplers at 100, 200 and 500 kg; and the self-lock and quick couplers at 250 kg. Every figure is a working load limit, rated to a stated safety factor rather than a breaking load. Confirm the exact rating for your load case with us before you order.
A self-lock coupler hooks onto the bar and grips automatically as soon as the load is applied, then you set final tension with the T-handle. It is the pick for quick installs and de-rigs where you want a secure single-tube fixing without threading a bolt every time.
Yes. Couplers are supplied load-rated, stamped with their working load limit, and built to a stated safety factor, consistent with the AS 4991 approach to rigging hardware. Ask us for the current certification and load documentation for your selected coupler.
Couplers are stocked in black and silver finishes. We hold the range so common couplers ship fast, and we supply Australia wide. Tell us the coupler, the finish and the quantity and we will confirm availability and turnaround.
