Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Press-Fit Gas Line Retrofits
Offer a licensed, code-compliant service converting or extending 1/2"–1" black iron gas piping using IPS press fittings (Viega MegaPress, Apollo PowerPress, Mueller Streamline). The compact jaws and one-handed actuator excel in tight mechanical rooms, cutting downtime versus threading.
Restaurant & Commercial Kitchen Upfits
Provide after-hours gas piping modifications for restaurants, food trucks, and commissaries. Press technology minimizes hot work and speeds restart times. Package with leak testing, permits, and maintenance contracts.
Custom Industrial Furniture Shop
Design-build pressed black iron furniture—shelving, desks, retail fixtures—fabricated quickly with clean, threadless joints. Offer on-site installs, modular add-ons, and finishes. Market to coffee shops, boutiques, and co-working spaces.
Pre-Fab Manifolds for HVAC/Plumbing
Produce standardized 1/2"–1" press manifolds (gas, hydronic returns, shop air where appropriate) using compatible IPS press systems. Sell to contractors as time-saving assemblies labeled and pressure-tested, delivered in TOUGHSYSTEM boxes.
Press Tool + Jaws Rental with Training
Rent the DEWALT DCE210 and this compact IPS jaws kit to pros and advanced DIYers. Include a quick-start training session, demo coupons for compatible fittings, and optional on-call support. Monetize with weekend bundles and contractor loyalty plans.
Creative
Industrial Pipe Shelving + Desk Set
Build a matching wall-mounted shelving system and desk frame using 3/4" and 1" carbon steel IPS press fittings. The compact jaws let you press in tight corners and work one-handed on ladders. Use flanges for wall anchors, add reclaimed wood shelves, and finish with matte black for an industrial look.
Garage Tool Grid & Clamp Rack
Create a rugged wall grid from 1/2" and 3/4" black iron pipe, pressed into a series of horizontal rails and vertical uprights anchored to studs. Add hook-off tees and short stubs for clamps, hoses, and cords. The press system speeds assembly and future reconfiguration without threading mess.
Home Gym Pull-Up Bar + Rack
Assemble a heavy-duty pull-up bar and modular accessory rack using 1" uprights and 3/4" crossmembers. Pressed joints provide clean, threadless connections and a tight, rattle-free frame. Anchor into structural framing and load-test appropriately before use.
Rolling Garment Rack / Retail Display
Make a stylish, durable rolling rack with 3/4" uprights and a 1" top bar. Press tees and elbows for a rigid rectangle, add caster plates to the base, and include lower rails for shoes or bins. Great for pop-ups, markets, or loft closets.
Wall-Mounted Bike Racks
Press together compact 1/2" arms off a 3/4" trunk line to create multiple bike hang points. Add protective sleeves on arms to prevent scuffs. The press jaws enable quick, repeatable builds with a clean aesthetic and strong mechanical joints.
