It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

He Used Galvanized Pipe To Make The Only Wall Hook I’ll Ever Want!

You need some very specific items for this project so I  have attached the links for you to make it easier.

Materials:

2 – 3/8-in galvanized pipe flanges, #27923
6 – 3/8-in black iron close nipples, #28030
2 – 3/8-in galvanized tees, #27929
4 – 3/8-in galvanized 90-degree elbows, #27922
#10 x 1-1/4-in flat head screws
Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 (removable), #42539

Directions:

1. Put the thread-locking fluid to the threads of both tees. (You have about 10 minutes till it dries.)

2.  According to Lowes:  Screw a pipe nipple into all the openings of both tees. Apply thread-locking fluid to two 90-degree elbows and screw them onto the two pipe nipples opposite each other. Rest the elbows on a flat surface and adjust them until they’re even and 90 degrees to the third pipe nipple. Repeat for the other tee.

3. Screw in the flange to the third pipe nipple.  Then rotate it so that none of the mounting screw holes are being blocked by the tee.

Here is what you have made!
