About the The Light Source Mega-Quick Pipe Splice for 1-1/2" Sch. 80 Pipe, Black Anodized
The Light Source Mega-Quick Pipe Splice for 1-1/2″ Schedule 80 pipe in black anodized finish is a compact and practical pipe-joining accessory engineered for quick, no-drill connection of truss or grid pipe in professional staging, lighting, and AV installations. Its internal splice design allows two lengths of pipe to be joined in a straight line with a smooth, flush external profile that closely matches the diameter of the pipe itself, giving a clean, professional look. Because it eliminates the need for drilling or threading to create a joint, this splice is especially useful in temporary installations, rental inventory, or setups where speed and simplicity are priorities.
Functionally, the Mega-Quick Pipe Splice operates by loosening its set screw with a hex key, inserting each end of the splice bar into the two mating pipes, and then tightening securely to clamp the pieces together. This allows rigging crews to achieve a solid joint with minimal tools and time, aiding efficiency in fast-paced production environments. The design is intentionally sized for 1-1/2″ Schedule 80 pipe—a commonly used size in stage and production rigging—ensuring compatibility with standard hardware while maintaining a consistent outer diameter for visual continuity.
Although it is built to handle substantial horizontal loads when installed correctly, the Mega-Quick Pipe Splice is not rated for vertical lifting or counterweight systems and should not be relied upon as a structural component in applications where dynamic or multi-directional forces are present. For straight-line pipe joining tasks where strength, appearance, and quick assembly matter, the Mega-Quick Splice provides a dependable, portable solution that complements broader truss and rigging toolsets.
