Lucas Shops Fitting Malleable Connector Review

This 3/4, 5 way tube I make for standing bikes stays with 4 legs around it and a 3/4 tube to climb up. I installed a bike rack. 2 bikes on the left and 2 bikes on the right. It is durable and stable.

If you expect them to work with Lowe's or Home Depot fittings, think again. I built the table base to fit corners with B&K hardware at Depot and they didn't match the nipples at all. Each fitting has almost 1/4 inch less thread than an elbow and a T-fitting. Rather for decorative purposes.

It worked for what I needed it for. It has 5 holes and is threaded. I didn't know it was black until I got it. All other fittings I used were silver gray galvanized steel. The image looks like it is dark gray. But I don't see why I should care if a piece of hardware is a different color. My pipes are brass and some of the fittings are purposely rusty. Because Industrial.Home Depot and Lowe's don't even have 5-way faucets, that was my only option and it works.
