Scaffold Bolt

A scaffold bolt is a fastener used to assemble scaffolding systems. It typically has a head that allows tightening with a spanner or socket.

A scaffold bolt clamps scaffold tubes and couplers. It often takes a nut and washer of the same thread and class. A spanner sets it.

This kind of bolt is often made in steel. Steel gives the strength required for scaffold joints. It can be coated for corrosion resistance.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance to confirm the bolt meets the required specification. On receipt, check the thread, dimensions and head markings. Look for signs of damage or corrosion.
