Appreciate the review from Chan! If you ever experience pipes spinning in the terminating part of a connector, I recommend adding some shrink bands to the end of the pipe or using a ratchet and socket to really crank it down.

"I simply couldn't find anything like this anywhere else, from any other manufacturer or sales outlet. As far as I know (and I did search), these are the ONLY connectors available for structural EMT projects. The connectors just *work*, pretty much exactly as described, with a couple of caveats: (1) The bolt/nut has to be really, incredibly, superbly tight in order to prevent slippage. I simply wasn't able to get them tight enough with the included hex bolt, and replaced it with a 1/4"-20 bolt that I could use a socket wrench with, eventually getting the T-connector tight enough that the pipe wouldn't rotate inside the connector.

(2) The stamped-in slot for the nut that's supposed to keep it from turning doesn't always keep it from turning; on about half of my connectors, I had to hold a wrench on the other side to keep the nut in place (which required a second person in most cases, to hold the connector/pipe in place while I held the socket wrench and regular wrench. I've built a nice little "cage" around my desk to hold lights, webcam, mic, and other recording accessories, all built from Maker Pipe connectors and EMT. (The included photo is before I had attached most accessories, but shows the nearly completed cage.)."
