- In today's video, we look at a telescoping clamp solution that you can make with a Maker Pipe Coupling, 1/2" EMT Conduit, an adapter shim, and a quick clamp (optional). Each of the pieces used in the video will be linked below. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for weekly videos and build ideas!

It give me a good idea to my project ! Thanks a lot !
You can always glue the shim inside the coupling to skip the step of sliding the shim back and forth.
Nice, yeah that’s a good idea!
or use the screw hole to capture the shim
Oh yeah good idea. Didn’t think of that
@@JoshuaJoshua0 would be difficult because the shim is thin and you can’t screw through it all the way - the screw piercing the shim would prevent the 1/2 inch pipe from freely sliding through the shim.
@@christiancicirale7149 yep, it would have to be a small screw
You guys are doing great work! I love these tip/hack videos on new ways to use maker pipe
Thanks Joshua! Glad you like the videos!
Love it. Already gives me some build ideas
Nice! Can't wait to see how you use it. Thanks for the comment
I had an excellent experience using Makerpipe components and their customer support was great too. Plus they have excellent prices. Highly recommend Makerpipe.
Thanks so much Pappy! Glad you had a good experience and enjoyed the connectors
Indeed Great people
This would be handy for legs on something used on uneven terrain.
For sure!
I accidentally found one of my new favorite channels... 😏
Welcome, glad you’re here! I like your username btw
You can glue then shim in the coupling , saves u playing around with the shims
Good idea! Thanks for the comment
Nice trick for a good clamp, but i'm trying to make a better tarp pole that shrinks down as short as possible to fit a bike top tube bag and still extends 2m, or 1.8-1.9m. Best short version I can find is a telescoping boom arm with twist lock instead of cam locks. And correct me if I am wrong, these clamps aren't available in as many diameter options?
How much vertical weight could this hold with out retracting/going down?
I don't have an exact number unfortunately. If I had to guess I'd say at least 125-150 pounds
It looks like there is a hole to use a set screw to hold the sleeve in place it it was drilled.
That's a good idea. I think we are going to do a follow up video and test a few different ways to capture the shim in place
Can you send me a clamp for the legs for my canopy for my camper
How about a 3/4 inch to 1 inch telescoping solution? My projects use 1 inch conduit.
Hi Darren, once we have the 1" EMT Coupling, you'll be able to do the same solution with 1" and 3/4" EMT. We will have those hopefully in the next 2-3 months. Thanks for the comment
@@MakerPipe awesome
do you suppose this would work the same for 1 inch and 3/4 inch conduit?
We should have the 1” EMT Coupling ready in the next couple of months. You’d be able to do it with that
@@MakerPipe HAHA yeah I realized you didnt have that after I asked this question.
@@MakerPipe on that same note, do you plan on making other 1 inch connectors soon as well?
Yes, we are actively working on the Adj. Angle Hinge, 45 Degree Connector, Standard Flange, and Coupling for 1” EMT.
WHY not Glue to Clamp? Just want to help my Twist Lock pole Stay Locked. No help when pats Slide in use. {{sigh}} OR, fix twist lock *Thanks!* Hail to commenters below. : }
