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.
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.
