Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Press-Fit Retrofit Service
Offer on-site replacement and modification of 1-1/4 in. black iron lines (e.g., closed-loop hydronic, glycol, low-pressure air) using a DEWALT press tool and this press ring. Market the service as a no-thread, low-downtime alternative in tight mechanical rooms. Provide night/weekend changeovers, pressure testing, and documentation. Partner with licensed trades where required by code.
Prefab Spool Pieces and Manifolds
Fabricate made-to-order 1-1/4 in. spool pieces, headers, and manifolds in your shop. Use the press ring to assemble accurate, repeatable sections from drawings or field measurements, then deliver labeled, ready-to-install assemblies. Target HVAC, maintenance teams, and small contractors who lack press tools. Offer quick-turn premiums and standardized SKUs for common configurations.
Industrial Furniture Kit Microbrand
Launch a niche brand selling flat-pack industrial-style furniture kits (shelving, garment racks, benches) based on 1-1/4 in. pipe. Use press fittings for subassemblies that customers bolt together with minimal tools. Provide custom sizing, powder-coated finishes, and wall anchor kits. Sell via Etsy/Shopify and pitch to coffee shops and boutiques for commercial installs.
Tool + Operator Rental to Trades
Provide a same-day press tool and 1-1/4 in. ring with an operator billed hourly. Target plumbers and facility managers during peak workloads or emergencies. Stock compatible press fittings and pipe lengths for add-on sales. Include on-site cutting/deburring, quality checks, and pressure testing. Offer discounted blocks for recurring maintenance contracts.
Creative
Industrial Pipe Furniture Set
Build a modular bookshelf/desk combo using 1-1/4 in. black iron pipe and press fittings. The press ring lets you assemble sturdy, clean joints without threading, so you can create long spans for shelves and a solid desk frame. Add flanges for feet, reclaimed wood for surfaces, and a clear coat on the pipe for an industrial finish. Design it to break down into sections for easy moving.
Garage Gym Rig
Fabricate a wall-mounted pull-up bar and dip/attachments frame from 1-1/4 in. pipe. Pressing the joints yields a rigid setup with minimal protrusions. Anchor the unit into studs or concrete with structural fasteners and add rubber end caps for safety. You can extend the design into a squat-stand style rack or hang gymnastic rings. Verify load-bearing capacity and anchoring before use.
Patio Railing and Trellis
Create a low-profile patio or garden railing with integrated trellis panels using 1-1/4 in. pipe. Press-fit the posts and crossbars for fast assembly, then prime and paint for outdoor corrosion protection. Incorporate removable trellis sections for seasonal plants. The pressed connections keep lines clean and reduce snag points compared to threaded fittings.
Workshop Air Header Manifold
Build a 1-1/4 in. main trunk for a compressed air system with drop legs at workstations. Use the press ring to assemble tees, unions, and drain legs quickly. Add ball valves and drip legs at each drop for moisture control. Ensure all components are rated for compressed air and follow local codes and best practices.
