HITOMEN 3/4" x 11.25" Industrial Iron Pipe (10 PCS) - Heavy Duty iron Black Threaded Pipes for DIY Wall Mounted Vintage Retro Shelving & Rustic Shelf Brackets

These have a nice matte finish for interior shelving projects. Seller did great with the packaging; the individual wraps preserved the paint finish perfectly during shipping.These are way better for interior non-plumbing projects than the oily black pipe you get at the big box stores. It's convenient to be able to just take them out of the box and use them in your project without any prep or painting.As you can see, the sprayer hit some of the threads on some of these. I don't think it will affect the intended usage for this product. They still fit nicely into the decorative 3/4 flanges.Product description makes no mention of them being used for water, gas, or exterior. For their intended purpose, as decorative but decently strong interior supports, I think they will work perfectly.Compression-wise, as vertical supports under shelves, I think you could put a decent amount of weight on these. Even screwed into flanges on the wall that are secured into studs, I think these would make decent shelf supports, to an extent. If you intend on putting very heavy loads on these with the wall/flange scenario, where the flange and a horizontal pipe is the ONLY thing holding the weight (no other support underneath), it may pay off to do some testing first.On a lot of the industrial shelf designs I've seen, there is a wall-connected flange and pipe, AND the shelves are connected to each other vertically with flanges and pipes. Not only is this a great look, but it's also a lot stronger, especially at the outer edge of the shelves away from the wall.

Meets advertised Claims: 5 of 5Claim: Pack of 10. Each pipe has a 3/4" inner diameter, 1" outer diameter, and an 12" length excluding threaded ends, ensuring a full 12-inch usable length.TRUE.

They are crafted from a high quality of steel and have a good amount of strength.Claim: Finished with a sleek black matte lacquer, our pipes radiate a vintage retro industrial charm.TRUE. They are finished in a matte black lacquer and while I don't know if the radiate it, they are consistent in style and form with retro industrial décor.Claim: Pipes combine with tees, flanges, elbows (available separately in our store) to DIY a pipe shelf.TRUE. These pipes fit well with standard metal pipe joints as well as those sold through this seller's store.Summary: At the time of this review this product was being sold at $26.99, this makes it an excellent value as the next closest similar item was at least 10% more on Amazon with many being nearly twice they price. The pipes are well made and work well in standard 3/4 inch fittings. I have put them under 100lbs of strain and they have not shown any signs of deformation. I would recommend these and use them in my own projects.

These 3/4” (1” outside diameter) pipe nipples are nicely painted and packaged. They could be suitable for light fixtures or as a vertical shelf support or decorative use.The listing description described these as heavy duty. They are actually much thinner and lighter than standard 3/4” threaded steel pipe. The wall thickness looks close to 1/16” or a bit more than 1mm. Looks thicker in pictures because the edge is rolled in from the factory cut.

What I expected was ten sections of black pipe with threaded ends, since that is what I would receive from the local hardware store for a similar price.What I received was a package of ten individually padded sections of pipe, each exactly 13" in length, with 1/2" of clean threads at either end. There is no oil or residue on the pipes, and the durable paint job has a clean, matte black finish. I was impressed with the professional fit and finish of these pipes. They will make for fine-looking, high-strength structural components of industrial-themed furniture.

Very nicely packaged each individually wrapped in foam. All the threads had the correct depth as I can spin a fitting on the end in 2 and a half turns.Very nice deal! Great value!
