No kit? Not to worry! Weāve also included a diagram of the parts youāll need if you want to assemble your own from loose pipes and fittings.Ā
Materials
To build a wall-mounted pipe clothes hanger, you will need:
- Wall-mounted clothing rack kit (all of our kits include hardware)
- If not using a kit: loose pipes, fittings, and hardware
- Drill
- Pencil
- Stud finder (optional)
- Level
Instructions
- Start by cleaning and sealing the pipes and fittings included in your kit. Detailed instructions are in the box, but hereās a quick rundown: use a non-abrasive dish soap like Dawn to wipe down all of your pipes and fittings and remove the protective oil that keeps them rust-free during transit. Let them dry completely, then seal them with a clear polyurethane spray. You can also paint them for a pop of color!
- Assemble the rack as shown in the diagram above. Tighten the flanges and pipes into the elbows as much as you can by hand, but keep the left flange slightly loose for steps 5-6. Itās important to assemble the rack before drilling the flanges so youāll know what the final position of the flange holes will be once the pieces are screwed together.
- Hold the rack up to the wall in your desired position. Mark the holes of the left flange on the wall with the pencil so youāll know where to drill. If you would prefer to drill into a wall stud, use your stud finder before marking the wall.
- If you are using anchors, pre-drill 3/16ā holes at each mark you made on the wall. Do not pre-drill if you are screwing into a stud.
- Screw anchors into the pre-drilled holes. Do not over-tighten.
- Attach the left flange to the wall using the drill. It should be loose enough for you to move the right flange into position after the left flange has been screwed into the wall.
- With the left flange installed, use a level to determine a position for the right flange by rotating the rack and holding it in place. Mark the flange holes on the wall.
- Repeat steps 3ā5 to install the right side.Ā
