The T Connector is our most popular and versatile structural pipe fitting. It is designed to natively fit electrical conduit which is readily available at your local hardware store. The 3/4" and 1" variants will clamp securely to their respective size.The 1/2" connector variant includes two adapter shims for building with 1/2" EMT Conduit. The T fitting allows you to easily connect two pipes at a 90 degree angle or use it as an elbow on the ends of conduit. You only need a single 5mm hex wrench for the T Connector assembly.
*Hardware is included with each T connector
The T connector consists of two mirrored pieces that interlock together with a puzzle piece design. The two pieces clamp together with one nut and bolt. The clamp design allows you to quickly change a connection while building or remove and reuse the connectors in a future project.The pocket feature locks the nut into place when tightening, this makes for an easy one tool assembly no matter which side the nut is on.
I have used maker pipe connectors for several other projects for my garden, but this time I just needed 6 T pipe connectors. Went straight to the maker pipe website and saw that with shipping the the connectors would be $5.27 each. Being me, I went to Amazon and typed in ‘T Pipe Connector’. And there are the knockoffs, many only $1 each. The temptation was great. The question was this. Support the people who created the system or the Chinese. My conscience told me what to do. Maker Pipe shipped these connectors so quickly about 2 or 3 days! They are sturdy, thick and tight. Best of all they are made in the USA. Get them into local stores so we can skip the shipping!
if you're thinking of trying to be creative and build something, go for it!! i have used nearly every 3/4" connector configuration successfully. they all fit very well and achieve a sturdy connection. i did find it helpful to secure the nut to one side of the connector..... before scaling the ladder and not having enough hands... with a tiny dot of hot glue. : ) if this 73 year old can build a catio, so can you! have fun!!! and by the way "customer service" is perfect....questions answered immediately. : )
Nice and easy to assemble, creating a nice strong union. I grow my vining tomatoes up strings, and they easily reach 10 feet in height each year. I have used PVC pipe in the past but it was less than ideal - often popping loose (have to leave the joints unglued so I can disassemble in autumn) - but now it should be just fine. I drape 40% shade cloth over the top in the summer to keep the leaves from scorching in the Texas heat. I'm ready to start the next build...
First tried to replace a 0.5 emt to pipe top with straight fitting above head high. Needed 2 more hands. Dropped the stub pipe inside a standing pipe. Other effort tried to use on premade emt chicken coup for adding strength, thought it was 0.75 for sure, but I was wrong. No way to get the 0.75 to work.
Just plain awkward 4 pieces that have to be aligned perfect. Dropping either the nut or bolt down in the grass. Started to tape the fittings so they would not disengage, but made my own alternative connection.
