Key Technical Specifications
| Material | Mostly malleable cast iron or ductile iron. Specialized versions for aluminum scaffolding may be made from cast aluminum. |
| Compatible Tube Size | Suitable for standard scaffolding tubes with an outer diameter of 48.3 mm (or 48.6 mm). |
| Weight | Generally lighter than heavy-duty forged couplers, ranging from 0.75 kg to 1.1 kg. |
| Standards Compliance | High-quality casted couplers can meet EN74 and BS1139 requirements, though they are mostly used in light-duty or non-structural applications. |
| Surface Treatment | Commonly electro-galvanized or painted for corrosion resistance. |

Benefits of Casted Fixed Couplers
Casted fixed couplers, also referred to as cast iron or ductile iron swivel couplers, are scaffolding fittings produced by pouring molten metal into preformed molds.
Although drop-forged couplers remain the industry standard for high-strength structural applications, casted couplers provide a practical alternative with greater design flexibility and distinct material characteristics.
