You will find all the supplies needed for this project at your local Builders Warehouse or plumbers supply store.
YOU WILL NEED:
22mm diameter copper pipe cut to the following lengths:
- 1 of 250mm length
- 3 of 100mm length
4 copper elbows | 2 copper 'T' fittings, | 2 copper end caps
Acetone or metal polish
Gloves and safety glasses
Rags or old towel
Epoxy or copper adhesive
Quick clamps
Marker pen
TOOLS:
Jigsaw plus steel blade or multifunction tool
240-grit sandpaper
HERE'S HOW:
1. Measure and mark the pieces required and then cut to length with a jigsaw and steel cutting blade or multifunction cutter. DO clamp the pipe to your workbench and wear the appropriate safety gear.
2. Clean the cut lengths of pipe with metal polish or acetone. Polish until you bring out the natural shimmer and shine of the copper pipe.
3. Use adhesive to secure all the individual components together, starting with the elbows...
GOOD TO KNOW: Work quickly when joining the sections together as the adhesive dries fast. Have a rag on hand to wipe off any excess adhesive that oozes out of the joins.
... and ending with the 'T' fittings to complete the assembly. Now you can place the clothes hanger where you need it and hang up your clothes.
