Two scaffolding pipes were connected vertically by overlapping them and using clamps, which is not considered good practice. Using joint pins instead is safer as it maintains verticality and prevents tension loads from causing collapse if the scaffolding is not perfectly plumb. Specifications for properly sized joint pins should be followed when purchasing them.

In both the picture two Standards are being connected by overlapping two pipes of minimum 600mm
and by using two clamps.
1. Is this a right practice? 2. Whether we should demand for use of Joint Pin instead of such overlapping for connecting pipes vertically? What is the issue in doing such overlapping? 3. In using Joint Pin, if not maintain the verticality of scaffolding on plumb level, tension load may come on the joint pin leading to scaffold collapse or not? Please explain? 4. Please let me know the specification for buying Joint Pins.
