PROP SLEEVE

A prop sleeve, also known as a prop coupler or prop connector, is a component used in construction and formwork systems to connect two adjustable props or vertical support columns together. Props are temporary vertical supports used to provide stability and load-bearing capacity during the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures.

The prop sleeve serves as a coupling device that allows two props to be connected end-to-end, creating a longer and continuous vertical support. It is designed to fit over the outer diameter of the prop tubes and is secured in place using pins, bolts, or clamps.

The use of prop sleeves is common in construction projects where longer vertical supports are required due to high ceilings or tall walls. By connecting props with prop sleeves, contractors can create a stable and adjustable support system that can be easily adapted to different heights or configurations.

Prop sleeves are typically made of steel or other durable materials to ensure strength and reliability. They come in various sizes to fit different prop diameters and load-bearing requirements.

Proper installation and use of prop sleeves are essential to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the temporary support system. Regular inspection and maintenance of the props, prop sleeves, and the entire formwork or support system are necessary to ensure their continued effectiveness and safety during construction activities.
