Type F-P – Stainless Steel Wall-Mounted 90° Pipe Connector
The Type F-P is a wall- or ceiling-mounted flange with two pipe openings and four countersunk screw holes. An end socket takes a pipe straight on from the front, and a cross bore near the base lets a second pipe pass through at 90°. The two pipes are independent — the front pipe stops before the cross bore — and each is held by its own set screws.
Precision CNC-machined from solid stainless steel, in a satin (brushed) or polished finish.
Dimensions
| Pipe / rod | Base diameter | Overall height (projection) | Base thickness | Body diameter | End socket depth | Cross pipe centerline from mounting surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5/8" (16 mm) | 2 3/8" (60 mm) | 2 3/8" (61 mm) | 3/16" (5 mm) | 1" (26 mm) | 7/8" (22 mm) | 1 1/4" (31 mm) |
| 3/4" (19 mm) | 2 3/8" (60 mm) | 2 1/2" (63 mm) | 3/16" (5 mm) | 1 1/4" (31 mm) | 7/8" (22 mm) | 1 1/4" (31.5 mm) |
| 1" (25 mm) | 2 3/4" (70 mm) | 2 7/8" (73 mm) | 9/32" (7 mm) | 1 7/16" (37 mm) | 1" (25 mm) | 1 3/8" (35.5 mm) |
End socket depth is how far the front pipe enters before it stops. Cross pipe centerline is the distance from the wall (mounting surface) to the center of the pipe passing through — use it to set the gap between that pipe and the wall.
What's Included
Four countersunk mounting screws and three set screws per fitting (one for the end socket, two for the cross pipe), in short and long versions, in matching stainless steel — included in the price.
Set Screws: Short vs Long
Every fitting comes with two kinds of set screws, in the same stainless steel finish as the fitting:
- Short set screw — for undrilled pipe. It tightens against the outside of the pipe and clamps it in place. No drilling needed.
- Long set screw — for drilled pipe. The pipe is drilled through one wall only. The screw passes through the fitting and the drilled wall and presses against the opposite inside wall of the pipe, locking the pipe against rotation and pull-out.
We can pre-drill your pipes if you share the hole positions — or you can drill them yourself. We drill one size larger than the screw for tolerance: a 6 mm (≈ 15/64") bit for M5 set screws and a 7 mm (≈ 9/32") bit for M6 set screws. Exact hole positions for a complete unit are shown on the technical drawing you can download from our configurator.
| Pipe / rod | Mounting screws (included) | Short set screw (undrilled pipe) | Long set screw (drilled pipe) | Hex key | Pipe drill size for long set screw |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5/8" | 4 × Ø5 mm (≈ #10) × 2 3/4" (70 mm) | M5 × 5 mm | M5 × 19 mm | 2.5 mm | 6 mm (≈ 15/64") |
| 3/4" | 4 × Ø6 mm (≈ #12) × 2 3/4" (70 mm) | M6 × 6 mm | M6 × 24 mm | 3 mm | 7 mm (≈ 9/32") |
| 1" | 4 × Ø6 mm (≈ #12) × 2 3/4" (70 mm) | M6 × 6 mm | M6 × 30 mm | 3 mm | 7 mm (≈ 9/32") |
How It Works
Screw the base to the wall or ceiling through the four countersunk holes. Pass the continuous pipe through the cross bore and lock it with its set screws. Then insert the second pipe into the end socket at 90° and tighten its set screw. The result is a wall-anchored junction where a continuous rod meets a rod branching out from the wall.
Type F-P vs Type E-P
Type F-P — two openings: end socket plus a 90° cross bore for a pipe that continues past the fitting.
Type E-P — single opening; the pipe enters and stops.
Which Pipe Diameter Should I Choose?
5/8" (16 mm) — Most popular. Clean, light profile for residential shelving, bar backs and retail.
3/4" (19 mm) — A step up in visual weight and stiffness for longer spans and commercial use.
1" (25 mm) — Most substantial. Bold, architectural presence for large installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far from the wall is the pipe that passes through the Type F-P?
Measured from the wall (mounting surface) to the pipe's centerline: 5/8": 1 1/4" (31 mm); 3/4": 1 1/4" (31.5 mm); 1": 1 3/8" (35.5 mm).
How far does the Type F-P project from the wall?
5/8": 2 3/8" (61 mm); 3/4": 2 1/2" (63 mm); 1": 2 7/8" (73 mm), with a base diameter of 2 3/8" (60 mm); 2 3/8" (60 mm); 2 3/4" (70 mm) respectively.
Are the two pipes connected inside the fitting?
No. The front pipe stops in the end socket before the cross bore, so the pipe passing through continues uninterrupted. Each pipe has its own set screws.
Are mounting screws and set screws included?
Yes — four countersunk mounting screws and three set screws in matching stainless steel, included in the price.
What's the difference between the short and long set screw?
The short set screw clamps against undrilled pipe. The long set screw goes through a hole drilled in one wall of the pipe and presses against the opposite inside wall, locking the pipe against rotation and pull-out.
Where can I get exact dimensions for my whole unit?
