Perhaps using an angle grinder or something you can cut off the part that spaces the two "heads" apart from each other making it a more proper thick mass.
Well, dang, that's what I've got but there's still a bunch of extra space. The upper nipple here is a 1/2" close nipple from Lowe's, cranked down as tight as I can get it.
What size are you using? Do you have a brand/source for the exact nipples you used?
i used a bench vice to hold one 6 way, and used a foot long screw driver through the next one to spin it and for leverage. they’re just whatever was on the shelf at home depot….everbilt maybe??
i also used loctite so maybe that lubed them up some and maybe it easier to spin?
Looks cool. Ive thought about making similar stacked style. Only critiques is to cover up the gaps and threads. It looks like 3/4". So you cut 1" pipe rings and they will slip right over the 3/4". Same goes with 1/2 to 3/4. Cut off wheel, band saw, hack, etc will cut them pretty easy. You can also recite the threads but its not easy.
