100mm (4") Ducting obstacle pipe connector

3D printed pipe connector made to measure.

"obstacle pipe thumb"

The obatacle pipe connects two duct pipes that have to go through and obstacle were deviation is not permitted. This allows clean piping layout and efficient air flow on rigid pipe work. It also greatly improves space compare to other obstacle avoidance means.

  • Ducting size: 100mm 4" (other size available on request)
  • Material: Nylon PA12
  • Colour: depends on stock. Usually grey. Enquire within for available specific colour.
  • Build time: Allow 48 hours for manufacturing before dispatch.
  • Gender: Male-Male

You will have to provide the size of the obstacle at purchase time. See below.

Product dimensions

Product dimensions depends on the offset chosen.

  • Diameter(mm): 104
  • height(mm): 60 + 1.732 * across + inline

Obstacle size

The obstacle size is size of the dent in the connector. There are two dimensions to give to us. Across and inline.

  • Across. By default this dimension is 25mm. Let us know your requirement about this if you need it bigger than 25mm. Maximum recommended is 50mm. Note the bigger the across size the smaller is the remaining opening for air or fluid.

  • Inline is the length of the obstacle in the direction of the pipe line.

Inline interval

The inline interval is the space between the two end of pipe to connect. Its length depends on the across/inline obstacle size and is given as below.
inline interval = inline + 1.732 * across
