Niubid10 Pack 3/4 Inches x 8 Inches Black Malleable Steel Nipples Fitting, DIY Steampunk Industrial Vintage Style.

Used many of these parts to build par shelves and bathroom shelves. Worked just as I needed and for only half the cost of the big box store options. Would recommend to others for sure!

Pipes were specified as 8” but were 3/16” too short (see photo). This rendered them unusable for my application.

I was excited to purchase black pipe material through Amazon for the price and quantity delivered. Especially with free shipping! But upon arrival, the 3/4” black pipe is POOR quality. The gauge of the steel pipe is thin and threads will NOT fully tighten. Pipe is extremely light, almost mimicking PVC. This pipe is NOT commercial grade. I am using it for a light fixture so it will work for that. But I am going to need to glue fittings together. Another lesson in “you get what you pay for”. The photos attached show packaging and the 6” pipe is bought from another vendor to show the difference.
