Project Ideas
Business
No-Thread Gas Line Retrofits (Licensed Service)
Offer rapid retrofit and extension of 1 inch black iron gas lines in homes, restaurants, and small commercial spaces using carbon steel press fittings (e.g., Viega Megapress, Apollo Powerpress). Press technology slashes install time in tight mechanical rooms and reduces fire risk vs. hot work. Market as a clean, fast, code-compliant solution with pressure-test documentation.
Prefabricated Boiler/Water Heater Headers
Fabricate standardized 1 inch headers and manifold kits in the shop with press fittings, then install on-site for hydronic and domestic hot water systems. Pre-pressing ensures consistent quality and quick changeouts. Offer labeled, pressure-tested assemblies with options for isolation valves, purge points, and sensor ports.
Outdoor Fire Pit and Kitchen Gas Manifolds
Package-design, fabricate, and install gas manifolds for outdoor fire features and grills. Use press fittings to build compact 1 inch spines with multiple branches, minimizing trench time and onsite threading. Provide turnkey service: layout, permits, trenching, pressure testing, and startup. Ideal for landscapers, builders, and luxury homeowners.
Commercial Kitchen Downtime-Minimized Upgrades
Specialize in after-hours press-based reroutes and equipment tie-ins for restaurants where time is money. The compact 20V press tool and 1 inch jaw allow quick, spark-free connections in congested back-of-house spaces. Offer service contracts for seasonal reconfiguration and emergency repairs with guaranteed response times.
Modular Retail Fixture Rentals
Build durable, industrial-style clothing racks, shelving towers, and display plinths from 1 inch pipe with press fittings, then rent to pop-up shops, events, and boutiques. Pressed joints resist loosening during transport and repeated setups. Provide a catalog of configurations and on-site assembly for rapid store refreshes.
Creative
Industrial Pipe Desk + Shelving System
Build a modular desk with upper shelving using 1 inch black iron pipe and carbon steel press tees/elbows. The press jaw’s even force distribution yields tight, square frames without threaded connections, letting you cut pipe to length and press fittings on-site for a clean, uniform look. Finish the frame with a matte clear coat and add reclaimed wood tops/shelves. Future reconfiguration is simple—press couplings let you add sections or swap heights.
Home Gym Pull-Up Bar and Rig
Create a wall- or ceiling-mounted pull-up bar and accessory rig from 1 inch pipe. Pressed joints provide rigid, rattle-free connections without threading, and the compact press tool/jaw fits tight spaces near joists. Use structural anchors appropriate to your wall/ceiling and test load capacity. Powder-coat the frame for sweat/corrosion resistance.
Garage Bike and Tool Rack
Assemble a sleek garage storage rack with vertical 1 inch uprights, horizontal bike hooks, and side arms for garden tools. Press elbows/tees let you fine-tune spacing and add future branches. The galvanized jaw resists shop humidity, and standard carbon steel press fittings (e.g., Viega Megapress) deliver strong joints for long-term load bearing.
Workshop Compressed Air Manifold
Run a 1 inch black iron trunk line around your shop with drops for hose reels. Press tees, reducers, and valves speed installation and minimize downtime vs. threading. Slope lines for drainage and include drains/filters. The compact jaw is ideal for overhead work between rafters and around equipment.
Outdoor Bar/Pergola Frame
Build a small pergola or bar frame from 1 inch pipe for patios. Pressed joints keep the frame square and sturdy; add wood slats, a canopy, and hooks. For outdoor longevity, use a rust-inhibiting primer/paint on pipe. Mount string lights to the frame (run electrical in code-compliant conduit; the pipe frame is structural only).
