180 Degree Structural Pipe Connector

180-degree is a help in large structures

Built my first project with MakerPipe conduit fittings. Purpose was to erect a structure to hold a shade cloth over one flower bed. This 180-degree fitting allowed me to create a continuous run along the long side. The fitting options from MakerPipe are great and sometimes you need to think a bit more on how they work in your project. Highly recommend this be an option in your projects using conduit. Planning on the next one now myself.

Quality stuff

I ordered some reducers with cam locks. I couldn’t have asked for better quality. I am going to order more fittings

HOPELESSLY SLOPPY

I used one of these in a simple awning. A project that failed miserably due to the maker pipe components. I wanted to use a 3/4 conduit at the front of the awning. Not only were the corners useless but this connector was a waste of money. The conduit is 10' long so I wanted to cut it into 2 x 5' lengths so I can transport it easily. Just bolt it together right? Then for extra points a 3rd vertical pole. Let's just say it was as sloppy as it could be. So sloppy it is unusable. Well not without drilling additional holes and using self tappers or bolts. The idea was to get away from that. I could have done that with cheap stuff from a big box store!! I gave up. Everything I bought is now on the back seat of my truck until I think of another way to do this.
