Let us help you use our products to their full potential. Below we have answered some common questions our buyers may have. If you have any further questions or concerns feel free to reach us via our Chat or you can reach us via e-mail at help@pipe-decor.com

What does the Prop 65 warning mean?

The Prop 65 designation is a requirement by the state of California for products that may contain traces of any chemical on the state's list, which changes annually. It is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is "safe" or "unsafe. We're simply required to provide a general warning on all of our products that might be sold in California.

Can this pipe be used outdoors?

We recommend using our galvanized pipe for outdoor use.

How long is the threaded part of each pipe end?

Each pipe size will have different thread lengths ranging from 0.78” (1/2” pipe) to 1.02” (2” pipe). Please note that our threads are tapered and have allowable variances. 

Why are my pipes greasy?

PIPE DECOR® is the real deal. Our black steel pipe can be used with air, gas, and liquid propane, while our galvanized pipe can be used for air and water applications.


To prevent rusting in transit we coat our black pipe in a light industrial grease to help maintain quality. We recommend cleaning and sealing your pipe when you receive it. Once cleaning off the protective oil, we recommend coating your pipe with a polyurethane finishing spray or Minwax finishing wax.
Read our Clean & Seal instructions here.

Can I use my own table top?

Yes. If using a wood tabletop, simply position the flanges as needed and drill to attach them in place. If using glass, marble, or any other material that can't be drilled normally, you’ll need to use some type of adhesive to keep the flange and pipe leg in place.

You can either use a pad with double-sided adhesive or use glass glue with a regular rubber pad to secure the flange. Alternately, you can secure wood to the bottom of your tabletop with an adhesive and drill the flanges into that.

Do your pipes have stickers?

All of our pipes are DIY-friendly and most of our items are sticker-free. Our BIG PIPE (1 1/4" diameter and wider) has easy-peel stickers for effortless removal.

If I choose FedEx Home Delivery, when will my order arrive?
