Description

Stop fighting structural fatigue! If you use long runs of 1/2-inch PVC pipe to mount outdoor lighting fixtures, you know the frustration of pipe flex and sag over time. This 3D-printed Structural Spacer Clip is the precise, custom-engineered solution to lock your pipes and eliminate fixture instability.

This clip is designed to join two parallel 1/2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipes, providing a single, rigid structural unit that prevents the pipes from flexing toward each other under the weight of lighting or external elements.

I use long PVC pipes for outdoor lights and could not find anything to keep the two light fixtures fixed, as they would sag over time. I designed these with two lengths- 6-inch and 9-inch. This is the distance between the outer edges of the pipes. 

Recommend printing using PETG and increasing the number of walls to 7 or 8 for maximum strength.

 

Key Features:

Superior durability: 3D printed with PETG filament, providing excellent UV resistance, high strength, and resistance to heat and moisture—ideal for long-term outdoor use (greenhouses, cold frames, trellises).

Stability: The extended length adds crucial stiffness to your structure, preventing twisting, flexing, and sagging over long spans.

Precision 1/2" Fit: Engineered specifically for standard 1/2-inch PVC pipe, ensuring a tight, reliable grip you can trust.

Tool-Free Assembly: Installation is instant! Simply push the clip onto your pipes and it snaps securely into place—no glue, screws, or hardware needed.

Upgrade your PVC structures with the strength and resilience of this model.
