Floor hanger from stand from fan and water pipe

Hello, dear Authors, Journalists, Readers!

In this article I will tell you how in 25 minutes I made a floor hanger from a stand from an unusable fan and a piece of plastic water pipe.

To make such a thing is not difficult. Enough basic knowledge, skills and a minimum of materials and tools.

A few years ago my fan on a high stand failed. I think many have this or have been. In it, one of the windings of the electric motor burned out and I found it inappropriate to repair the fan. Everything that may ever come in handy, I took off, threw the rest. Among those left was a stand.

And then, once, I had nothing to do, but there was a desire to craft. And the eye came across a stand from a fan and trimming plastic water pipes. An idea came to make this a floor hanger.

I decided not to procrastinate and immediately got to work.

Details and materials:

Fan stand
Plastic Water Pipe Trim
Wood screws

Instruments:

Electric drill
Drills for metal 2 pcs.
Screwdriver
Roulette
Calipers
Permanent marker

Manufacturing process.

Step 1.

From several pieces of plastic pipes, I chose a suitable length. My eye is "set" and I suggested that the stand clamp should compress the pipe well. Checked, and it turned out. This greatly simplified further work.

Step 2

As "hooks" for hanging things, I decided to use fairly long, 50 mm screws, which I left after assembly different of furniture. In total, I decided to put 12 pieces, 4 pieces at three levels in height.

Step 3

Using roulette and a permanent felt-tip pen, he marked the centers of future holes. I decided to make holes at an angle of 90 degrees and an offset in height.

Step 4

The caliper measured the diameter of the threaded part of the screw and picked up a drill bit for metal of a slightly smaller diameter. I also prepared a drill with a diameter of 3 mm for preliminary drilling, since a thick drill can jump off the pipe.

Step 5

He drilled 12 holes first with a drill with a diameter of 3 mm, and then with a thick drill.


Step 6

I screwed 12 screws with a screwdriver. He twisted it all the way, that is, until the end of the screw rests against the pipe wall. Checked, all the screws hold very firmly, do not swing.


Step 7

I inserted the pipe into the stand. Tightened the clamp. The hanger is ready.






Step 8

I began to check the product.

It turned out that the hanger is very stable and does not tip over not only when hanging light summer clothes, but from winter clothes, like warm jackets.

In addition, it is easily adjustable in height.

And also it is assembled and disassembled within ten seconds.

Hope this homemade and the article will be useful to you.

I will be glad to your comments and suggestions.

Regards, R555.

I am not a plumber specialist ... My knowledge is superficial, but I don’t want to read on the topic in order to make myself smart))))
The only thing that I immediately understand is that you have twenty-five-polypropylene reinforced with aluminum. It is used in heating and hot water systems. Holds, usually up to 95 degrees (short-term). This parameter is all polypropylene manufacturers state. (I didn’t work with it. I took myself reinforced with fiberglass. They have a bit more expansion, but they don’t need to be cleaned when welding)
I measured the inner diameter of the pipe and got 16 mm. If you subtract from 25mm 16mm, it turns out clearly not 4.2mm? read

You measured so accurately ??? If you subtract from 25mm to 16mm, you get 4.5. You could very well be mistaken, and their tolerances are not so strict. The main thing is that the walls are not thinner than declared
. I often use their crop "for other purposes."

So do I. Used and as intended at their construction sites. They are sold with four-meter rods, so there are a lot of scraps left
Therefore, I am interested in the material of such a pipe and its melting point. Please clarify, if not difficult.

I dont know. When I weld them, then for 25 matches I put, usually, on a soldering iron 270 degrees and hold for 5-7 seconds. (Gee ... We recently talked about "welding polypropylene with a soldering iron" ... I'm waiting for flying caps ...)))))
Read on the net.
The first letters in the designation are the type of polypropylene. Typically, this is PPR, but it can be different. Following is the nominal pressure (PN) in yours - this is a minimum of PN20, or even 25. (It is reinforced)

Valery , here is a photo of the pipe that I used to make the floor hanger.

It consists of three layers. 2 plastic, metal in between. I looked at the markings on the pipe. Marking with meter length !!!
I understood what ALUMINUM PIPE, BAR and CELSION are. And the designation of 50 years and 25 / 4.2 also understood. Outer Diameter / Wall Thickness.

But I did not understand what material the pipe is made of. Or is it not written in the labeling? And further. I measured the inner diameter of the pipe and got 16 mm. If you subtract from 25mm 16mm, it turns out clearly not 4.2mm? read

I am not a plumber, I have another main activity. Although replacing the faucet, faucet, fixing the toilet bowl, plugging in the washing machine, breaking through the blockage in the sewers is a trifle for me.
But I did not do the installation of plastic pipes. I often use their trim “for other purposes”.

Therefore, I am interested in the material of such a pipe and its melting point. Please clarify, if not difficult.

Korolev . Yes, I position myself as an experienced professional. Not everything that I have created and are creating, I manage to photograph, describe and upload to the site. Therefore, I show that simpler. If I post some electronic circuit of my homemade product, where there are thousands of one and a half radio components, you will analyze for a week, only then will you start to wash my bones. And here you can immediately xaxa

They had to explain for about 5 minutes that this
Well, honestly, I did not want to comment, but I have to.You are proud of the status of "Authors", you position yourself as an experienced professional, and the craft is so-so, do not respect yourself! And do not compare techies with a shop assistant! nea

Valery , remembered along the way one story. I went once to a hardware store, to buy all sorts of different things. I ask the saleswoman, dowels are? She looked at me with an unkind look. I called another saleswoman. He says that here the man asks some dowels. It took them about 5 minutes to explain what it was. That’s what they would say, chops are needed. xaxa And you write what you need confirmations speak. yahoo xaxa

Valery , by the way, I, like you, put Christmas trees on this stand and set the backlight, but unlike you, there are also photos and video cameras. xaxa That's why you need height adjustment. And you about the diameter and material of the pipe. Is that the point?

Sorry, but ...
For the garage, actually ...
Do you really put this at home?

Excuse me, but I’ll walk through the article itself, as I read it, “clinging to thorns” ... And the very first thing I stumbled over ....
and a piece plastic water pipe.

Polyethylene will go ??? ))) And the metal? ))) ...
I mean, if you are writing an article, then call a spade a spade, and not "popular colloquial names for the inhabitants, who were invented so that there was a reason to question and stretch the conversation"))))) ...
As far as I understand, it was polypropylene ???
From several pieces of plastic pipes, I chose a suitable length.

Only in length ??? Diameter is not important ??? (I don’t have "water" pipes now, but there are a lot of scraps of polypropylene, since I made a heating system ... And they have diameters of 20, 25,32,40, 50 mm. Can anyone fit?)))) Judging by the fact that you did not specify it ....
As "hooks" for hanging things, I decided to use fairly long, 50 mm screws that I had after assembling various furniture.

Judging by the photo, you did not use screws, but confirmations. Well, God be with him ... With a stretch, they can be called "confirmative screws"))) But really there was nothing more aesthetic ?? Is it really in your understanding that "a nail driven into a wall is already a normal hanger" ???
I also prepared a drill with a diameter of 3 mm for preliminary drilling, since a thick drill can jump off the pipe.

A strange way ... And if you just prick with an awl before drilling ???
In addition, it is easily adjustable in height.

What for?
P.S. Also there are several coasters of such ... (I have been working in the office for many years))) And such fans are one of the most “office” things, along with coolers and “computer” chairs))))
On two hung diode floodlights .. (Now the construction site, sometimes you need to highlight). With two more he made high stands for the Christmas trees. They allow you to put a Christmas tree, for example, between a sofa and an armchair, leaving a cross under the furniture. (We usually seriously decorate the house for the holidays, and, in addition to the big Christmas tree in the living room, we put a smaller one (1.5-1.8 m) in each room. I did it for them). True, the crosses themselves made of thick plywood (20 mm).
But, hanger, somehow there was no thought ...
Excuse me, once again, but ... it is artisanal! Not aesthetically pleasing for home ... (IMHO)
