GIZA MEDITATION PYRAMID CONNECTOR KIT for use with 1/2" PVC pipe

Description

GIZA Pyramid
Connector Kit
For 1/2"
Schedule 40
PVC Pipe
Offered is one 5 piece set of semi-flexible 1/2" plastic connectors and apex for constructing a 51° angle GIZA pyramid using PVC pipe.
The picture showing three different base fittings is for angular reference and visualizing the differences with each angle.
Save money by buying your own PVC Pipe (JM Eagle brand 1/2" ID PVC pipe is recommended) from a hardware store such as Home Depot. Some fit adjustment may be necessary to the pipe if using other vendor supplied pipe. It is suggested to take a base fitting to the store and check the fit before purchasing the pipe. There will be no pipe sent with these fittings.
(The pictures provided of assembled pyramids are for pictorial demonstration only - no pipe is provided.)
Depending on the size of the pyramid you want to construct (any size pyramid may be constructed) the lateral edge that starts from the base tip to the apex/cap tip is calculated using a Phi ratio of 1.272 multiplied by the base length.
For example and shown in the provided pictures, if your desired base is 12" square you would multiply 12" X 1.272 = 15.264" Inches – (round this number to 15 1/4” for ease of measurement)
From this calculation you will need
4 pieces of ½” PVC pipe 15 ¼”
long and
4 pieces of ½” PVC pipe 12"
long.
However, b
efore you run out and start cutting p
ipe to size
there are an additional set of steps required when using these particular fittings to obtain an accurately sized pyramid structure. These are as follows:
1. Take each calculated base length (12”) of PVC pipe and subtract 3 3/8” from the initial 12” base piece then cut to this length.
This will provide four base pieces with an actual finished length of 8 5/8” each.
2. Take each calculated lateral piece (15 1/4”) and subtract 5 5/8”.
This will provide four lateral pieces with an actual finished length of 9 5/8” each.
The adjustments of the pipe lengths detailed above allow for an exact and very accurate pyramid construction that accounts for the added material of the base fittings and the apex piece. This will center the calculated geometric lines of the pyramid to the construction material center line(s) forming a 12" square base.
The fittings for this pyramid are a press/slip fit for assembly and are very stable without gluing them permanently in place. This design eliminates set screws to tighten the pipe to the fittings and will allow for dismantling your pyramid for movement when desired. If a permanent structure is desired, one may use PVC adhesive or similar glue to fix the pieces permanently in place.
In addition to the above, there are several added design features that are provided within this set of fittings that are not available on other connector sets:
An ability to place legs or extensions into the bottom of each base fitting which will allow the user to elevate the pyramid to a chosen height while still maintaining the pyramid angles and center lines. (no pipe is provided for this function)
Alternatively, added extensions can be placed into the ground to anchor the pyramid against wind or other disturbances that may move it around when used outdoors.
The base fittings may be used as cross member support extensions for any pyramid size that requires cross support structure due to its' size and to eliminate pipe sagging on the lateral lengths. (Purchase of additional set(s) of fittings is required for this function)
The apex has a removeable capstone with a hidden chamber within to place any object within such as a crystal, shungite, miniature tensor ring, or anything else that fits and will suit your need.
Please refer to the provided listing pictures as these will show several of the features.
Basic construction instructions will be provided with each kit
TIP:
If you want to remove the ink lettering on the pipe you acquire, the easiest method is with a paper towel or cloth rag using acetone to wipe or rub it off. Be sure to do this outdoors or with plenty of ventilation as the acetone surely will offend your nose.
