At Circo Innovations, we’re passionate about empowering DIY enthusiasts, builders, and creators with high-quality, versatile materials to bring their projects to life. One of our standout products is our PVC Adjustable Joint Fittings, a game-changer for anyone working with PVC pipe. Available in 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way configurations, these furniture-grade fittings offer unmatched flexibility for a wide range of projects. Whether you’re building a greenhouse, a custom frame, or a unique outdoor structure, our adjustable fittings make it easy to achieve the perfect angle for your design. Let’s dive into why these fittings are a must-have for your next project!
What Are PVC Adjustable Joint Fittings?
Our adjustable joint fittings are designed to work seamlessly with standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe, specifically 3/4 inch, 1-inch and 1-1/4-inch sizes. Unlike traditional fixed-angle fittings, these innovative connectors allow you to create custom angles along the same plane by simply tightening or loosening a bolt located at the joint. Special ridges on the mating surfaces ensure an immovable, secure connection once the bolt is tightened, providing both flexibility and durability.
These fittings are crafted in furniture-grade quality, meaning they’re not only strong but also sleek, polished and UV stabilized for outdoor use, making them ideal for visible structures where aesthetics matter. Plus, they’re designed for non-plumbing applications, so they’re perfect for structural projects rather than water flow systems.
Key Features of Circo’s Adjustable Joint Fittings
Customizable Angles: Adjust the angle to your exact specifications, from subtle tilts to sharp bends, making them ideal for unique designs like greenhouse ridges or custom frames.
Multiple Configurations: Available in 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way options, giving you endless possibilities for complex structures.
Furniture-Grade Finish: Smooth, professional-grade PVC ensures a clean look for projects like furniture, displays, or
outdoor setups.
Easy to Use: Adjust angles with a simple bolt mechanism—no need for specialized tools beyond a ratchet wrench or thumb screw for easier handling. You'll need a 7/16" nut driver for our 1 inch joints. For the 1-1/4 inch 3-way and 4-way you can simply turn the short socket to loosen the bolt. (as seen on our roof top sprinkler kit)
Durable and Secure: Ridges on the joint surfaces lock the fitting in place once tightened, ensuring stability for long-lasting builds.
Why Choose Adjustable Joint Fittings?
The beauty of our adjustable joint fittings lies in their versatility. Unlike standard PVC fittings that lock you into fixed 90-degree or 45-degree angles, our fittings let you fine-tune the angle to suit your project’s needs. This makes them perfect for applications where precision and customization are key, such as:
Greenhouses: Create sturdy, angled ridges for optimal structural support and coverage for custom angles and structures.
Custom Frames: Build adjustable arms for props, displays, or tension fabric frames for events and performances.
Outdoor Structures: Construct unique setups like poultry pens, cold frames, or ATV carports with tailored angles for stability and function.
Creative Projects: From Halloween displays to DJ equipment frames, these fittings adapt to your imagination.
Plus, they’re lightweight, affordable, and easy to work with, making them a favorite for both DIY hobbyists and professional builders.
Tips for Using Adjustable Joint Fittings
To get the most out of your Circo adjustable joint fittings, keep these tips in mind:
Choose the Right Tools: For easier adjustments, consider using a 1/4-inch ratcheting wrench with an extended 7/16" socket, a 7/16" nut driver, or a 1/4-20 thumb screw with a wing nut to easily use your thumbs to loosen. These tools make loosening and tightening the bolt a breeze.
Secure the Angle: Once you’ve set your desired angle, tighten the bolt firmly to lock the ridges in place. For permanent setups, you can add PVC glue or a self-tapping screw for extra security.
Prep for Painting: We do not recommend painting because it can jam the mechanism. If you plan to paint your structure, try to keep paint away from the joint because it will cause the mechanism to stick. Note that painting may affect adjustability, so set your angles first.
Check Compatibility: Ensure you’re using the right size Schedule 40 PVC pipe to match the fitting size. Refer to our PVC Sizing Guide for details.
