About the The Light Source Mega-Coupler Clevis with Bolt, Silver
The Light Source Mega-Coupler Clevis with Bolt is an all-in-one, fully assembled rigging solution designed for the direct and secure attachment of lighting fixtures to overhead support points. This unit integrates the high-load-bearing capacity of a Mega-Coupler with the versatile forked connection of a clevis, which comes pre-installed with its mounting bolt and pin. The primary purpose of this assembly is to provide a single, ready-to-use component that streamlines the process of suspending heavy fixtures, such as moving lights or LED arrays, from truss or structural eyebolts, significantly reducing rigging time and the risk of using mismatched hardware.
Finished in durable silver, the component is machined from high-strength aluminum, offering an optimal balance of lightweight handling and robust performance. The Mega-Coupler end employs a double-shear design, utilizing a 3/8-inch bolt that passes through the fixture's yoke to distribute stress evenly. The integrated clevis on the opposite end is engineered to accept a standard 1/2-inch truss pin or eyebolt, with the included bolt ensuring the clevis pin is securely retained. This complete package eliminates the need to source and assemble separate pins and bolts, ensuring all elements are correctly matched for the rated load.
Safety and reliability are foundational to this product's design. As a fully integrated assembly, it guarantees that the connection between the clevis and its pin is properly secured from the outset, mitigating a common point of potential human error in rigging. It is a staple in theatrical, concert, and permanent installation environments where efficiency and absolute safety are equally critical. The product empowers technicians to achieve secure overhead hangs with confidence, knowing the connection is engineered and supplied as a complete, tested unit.
