    Description

    Russian Pyramid
    Connector Kit
    For use with
    Schedule 40
    PVC pipe
    Offered is one 5 piece set of semi-flexible plastic connectors and apex for constructing a 76° angle Russian pyramid. The design angle of a Russian pyramid design is much steeper and considered by some more powerful than the 51° 51” angle of a Giza style pyramid . (No pipe is provided with this offering)
    Additionally, the angle is similar to a Nubian design which is angled at a 73°. This something to keep in mind when reviewing sites that indicate the same angle can be used for Russian and Nubian design pyramid structures.
    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 supplied.)
    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 2.02 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 2.02 = 24.24" Inches – (round this number to 24 1/4” for ease of measurement)
    From this calculation you will need
    4 pieces of ½” PVC pipe 24 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 of the 1/2" PVC pipe and subtract 3 1/2” from each of the initial four base pieces and then cut
    to
    length.
    This will provide four base pieces with an actual finished length adjusted for the fittings.
    2. Take each calculated lateral length of the 1/2" PVC pipe and subtract 5.49” – (round to 5 1/2” for ease of measurement.)
    from each of the initial lateral pieces - then cut
    to
    length.
    This will provide four lateral
    pieces with an actual finished length
    adjusted for the fittings.
    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).
    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 disassembly of 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:
    The 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 supplied 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 more than one set of fittings is required)
    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 some dimensions and  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.
    Should you require more pyramid connector sets than are currently listed for sale, please make contact to arrange for the quantity you need.
    If you would like to be able to purchase individual components such as only the Apex - please ask. I can provide whatever parts you need for a nominal cost with free shipping.
