Scaffolding Accessories Construction U Head Spigot

      The primary role of a steel u head spigot is to provide robust and reliable anchoring for timber beams, ensuring they are firmly and securely held in their designated position. This essential component not only contributes to the structural integrity of the setup but also guarantees the stability and safety of the construction or scaffolding system.

How Does It Work:

U Head Spigots are placed on top of adjustable steel props. The adjustable props have a threaded design that allows their length to be extended or retracted. The U Head Spigot sits on the threaded end of the prop and provides a flat, U-shaped platform where beams or other materials can rest. The adjustable prop's length can be modified to achieve the desired height, providing a stable and secure temporary support structure.

Advantages:

 

• Stability

  U Head Spigots offer a stable platform for construction materials, preventing wobbling or movement.
• Load Distribution

  The U-shaped design helps evenly distribute the weight of the supported materials.
• Versatility

  U Head Spigots can be used in diverse applications, such as formwork, slab construction, and beam support.

 

 

 

Usages:

 

Formwork Systems: U Head Spigots support formwork panels used to shape and mold poured concrete.

Slab Construction: They support horizontal beams that carry the weight of newly poured concrete slabs.

Beam and Column Support: U Head Spigots temporarily support beams and columns during construction.

 

Customization:

• Materials: U Head Spigots are typically made from strong and durable steel, we can customize it based on load requirements and use area.  For example,in a coastal construction project where corrosion is a concern. It can be customized using stainless steel, which has excellent resistance to rust caused by saltwater exposure.

• Size and Dimensions: The size of the U-shaped platform can be adjusted to fit various beam widths. And it can be customized to accommodate the varying widths of the intricate wooden beams that need support.

• Surface Finish: To prevent rust, the spigots can be coated or treated. We support powder coated and galvanized option.

• Connection Mechanism: The connection between the spigot and prop can be tailored to be threaded or tubular.
