Expansion joint pin for connecting two vertical standards end to end inside the tube.
The joint pin (expansion pin) is dropped into the top of a lower standard and expands inside the tube to lock the upper standard in line. It is the fastest way to extend vertical standards — no bolts to tighten — which is why rental fleets and erectors keep them in bulk.
A slotted lower section opens inside the tube and locks the pin against the bore for a rattle-free vertical joint.
The forged collar sits on the top of the lower standard and centres the upper tube automatically.
Pins are fitted by hand, dramatically reducing erection time on tall scaffolds.
Turned from solid carbon steel bar so there is no weld to fail in service.
Electro-zinc as standard, hot-dip galvanizing available for coastal or long-life sites.
Dimensions follow EN 74 / BS 1139 series. Custom sizes produced to drawing.
