FlexiFit Universal Adapter

A flexible, adjustable pipe fitting adapter that accommodates differences in diameter (e.g., 3/4" to 1") and alignment offsets, with both threaded and slip-fit ends. Simply twist to adjust length and angle, then lock in place. No more frustrating trial-and-error with multiple fittings.

Key Features

Adjustable length (e.g., 2-6 inches)
Swivel joints for angular alignment
Compatible with 3/4" and 1" pipes
One end threaded, one end slip-fit

Target Users: Plumbers and HVAC technicians installing filter housings or other inline components in residential and commercial settings.

Revenue Model: $14.99 per unit at hardware stores and online; bulk discounts for contractors.
