A 1/2-inch conversion fitting for underground poly gas piping designed to join or adapt 1/2" polyethylene/polypropylene gas lines. Constructed from thermoplastic (polypropylene/polyethylene) for buried gas service, it provides a durable connection point for gas distribution installations.
Project Ideas
Business
Licensed Contractor Supply Pack
Build a B2B online shop selling 1/2" poly gas conversion fittings and related parts in contractor-friendly bulk packs. Offer product datasheets, compliance information, and quick reorder options targeted to licensed plumbers/gasfitters. Provide volume discounts, fast shipping, and a verified-customer program to build recurring revenue while ensuring parts are sold to professionals qualified to install them.
Installer Kits for Retrofitting Projects
Create curated retrofit kits that bundle conversion fittings with compatible pipe lengths, clamps, markers, and permit checklists specifically for licensed installers. Market the kits to utility contractors and small companies doing backyard or RV gas conversions — emphasize that installation must be performed by certified personnel and include safety/inspection documentation to simplify job paperwork.
Vocational Training & Demo Modules
Produce inert demo kits and hands-on modules for trade schools and apprenticeship programs that teach pipe joining, corrosion awareness, and underground utility best practices. Kits can include non-pressurized mock-ups, cutaway fittings, and visual aids so instructors can demonstrate techniques safely without live gas. Sell curriculum add-ons and instructor guides.
Upcycled Home-Goods Brand
Collect surplus or cosmetically imperfect conversion fittings and turn them into a branded line of upcycled home goods — lamp bases, planters, or hardware accents — sold on marketplaces and at craft fairs. Position the brand around industrial reuse and sustainability, clearly labeling products as repurposed items not suitable for pressurized or gas use. Offer limited-edition runs and DIY kits to expand margins.
Creative
Modular Garden Sculpture Connector
Use the 1/2" polypropylene conversion fitting as a weatherproof connector in modular outdoor sculptures or trellises. The yellow fitting can be the visual accent where aluminum or wooden rods meet — glue, epoxy, or mechanically fasten rods into the fitting to create repeatable joints for geometric planters, pergola accents, or kinetic yard art. This keeps projects lightweight, corrosion resistant, and easy to reconfigure.
Industrial Desk Lamp Neck
Repurpose the fitting as a decorative and functional lamp neck or cable channel for a DIY industrial-style desk lamp. The threaded/stepped interior can hide wiring and secure the lamp stem, while the bright yellow adds an industrial pop. Use only low-voltage fixtures and follow electrical safety standards (insulate wiring, use certified lamp parts). Do not use the fitting for any gas or pressurized service.
Self-watering Planter Adapter (Non-potable)
Turn the fitting into a bulkhead-style adapter for rain-barrel overflow or non-potable greywater circulation in a container garden. The fitting can join flexible tubing for drip irrigation loops or small reservoir fills. Emphasize using it only for non-potable water and sealing joints with appropriate gaskets or sealants rated for polyethylene to prevent leaks.
Upcycled Furniture Hardware
Use the polyethylene fitting as a hidden or decorative joint piece in light furniture — small end-tables, shelving brackets, or stool feet. Sand/paintable surface allows color matching, and the fitting's shape makes it a tidy cap or junction where legs or braces meet. Reinforce load-bearing joints with internal rods or bolts routed through the fitting for safety.
