Scaffolding Pipe Clamps

 What Are Scaffolding Pipe Clamps?

Scaffolding pipe clamps, also known as tube clamps or scaffold fittings, are steel or galvanized connectors used to hold scaffold pipes together. They come in different types—right angle, swivel, sleeve, and putlog—to allow for a variety of structural connections in scaffolding systems. Whether you're adjusting a platform or extending a structure, clamps give you the control and flexibility needed to do it safely.


Types of Scaffolding Clamps

At AAIT Scaffold, you’ll find high-performance clamps, including:

  • 🔗 Right Angle Clamps: For connecting horizontal and vertical tubes

  • 🔁 Swivel Clamps: Allow for angled joints—ideal on sloped or complex projects

  • 🔄 Sleeve Clamps: Used to connect two scaffold tubes end-to-end

  • 🪛 Putlog Clamps: Attach putlogs (transverse tubes) to ledgers or standards

  • 🔩 Double/Fixed Clamps: For rigid 90° connections

Each clamp serves a unique function but shares one common goal: strength and safety.
