Project Ideas

Business

DIY Insulation Repair Kits

Assemble consumer-friendly repair kits that include several 90° elbow pieces sized for common pipe diameters (fits 1-1/4" pipe, 1-5/8" tube I.D.), adhesive strips, a utility blade, and illustrated instructions. Market to homeowners and DIYers for quick fixes on plumbing, HVAC and exposed fittings.


Contractor & HVAC Starter Packs

Create bulk packs of elbow fittings in common sizes and sell targeted bundles to plumbers and HVAC contractors. Offer branded, pre-counted boxes (e.g., 50-pack elbows for 1-1/4" pipe) and accessory items (tapes, clamps) to speed up on-site repairs and reduce inventory headaches for small service businesses.


Acoustic Treatment Product Line

Design and sell decorative acoustic panels and diffusers built from arrays of elastomeric elbows. Emphasize the material's sound-damping properties, UL 94 and GREENGUARD standards, and suitability for studios, rehearsal spaces, and open-plan offices. Offer customizable patterns, colors, and mounting options.


Educational & Makerspace Kits

Package elbow fittings into curriculum-friendly kits for schools and makerspaces—include lesson plans for topics like sound, insulation, and simple mechanisms. The kits can be used for STEM projects (robot limbs, insulation demos) and sold to educational suppliers or directly to institutions.


Branded Promotional & Merch Items

Produce custom-branded pieces (keychains, cable organizers, stress-fidget shapes) cut from elbow fittings as inexpensive, durable trade-show giveaways or corporate gifts. The elastomeric material is resilient, and small modifications (embossing, custom color bands, printed tags) turn surplus inventory into high-margin promo products.

Creative

Modular Jewelry & Wearables

Turn 90° elastomeric elbows into modern, lightweight jewelry—pendants, cuff bracelet segments, and necklace links. Cut or sand the ends, drill small holes for jump rings or leather cord, and combine several pieces for a geometric look. The NBR/PVC material is comfortable against skin and the black finish gives an industrial-chic aesthetic.


Miniature Robot / Steampunk Joints

Use the elbow fittings as articulated joints and limb segments for small sculptures, tabletop robot models or steampunk assemblages. Their 90° shape makes ready-made elbows for arms and legs; glue or screw into small wooden/metal frames to create poseable figures that withstand temperature changes and handling.


Textured Acoustic Art Panels

Mount multiple elbows (cut lengthwise or left whole) onto a wood or MDF backing to create a three-dimensional wall panel that diffuses sound and looks modern. The elastomeric material and R‑value help with sound absorption for home studios, gaming rooms, or offices while producing striking, repeatable patterns.


Plant Elevation & Mini Planter Feet

Use these elbow sections as durable, non-marring feet to elevate small pots and planters to improve drainage and airflow. Their temperature resistance means they work both indoors and on patios. Grouping a few under a pot also creates a modular mini-plant stand system.


Desk Organizer & Cable Channels

Slice the elbows lengthwise to create cushioned cable channels, pen holders, or gadget cradles for desks and workbenches. The 1/2" wall thickness protects cords from abrasion and the curved shape keeps cables tidy while being easy to mount with adhesive or screws.
