Do you have any tips or advice for running an artists booth at a convention? I'm thinking about doing it eventually and been wanting to hear from people who have done it before :^)
yeah!!! lemme rattle off a few things off the top a my head also, pardon me 4 using amazon dot ca links for products that i mention. its just easy to find references that way (and often u can look up the brand and find their non-amazon store etc etc)
this got super long so im putting it under a cut!!
• join an artist alley group!! i'm in this artist alley discord and it is a fantastic place to get info about cons, table display ideas, manufacturer recommendations, etc. there are more than just this group out there and i think there are bigger ones but i personally really like this one ^u^ i make a ton of use of the display resources and manu recommendation channels!
• if you can afford it, be choosy about the events you apply to. there are a lot of cons out there that are fantastic, and a lot that aren't worth the trouble, and i don't necessarily mean small vs big cons. some of my fav events are smaller artist alleys local to me, and most of the artists i know avoid informa (fanexpo) like the plague. check out what other artists have to say about past events and keep an eye out for red flags: personally i find cons with really out of date/poorly advertised social medias and websites that have mismatched info are a warning sign of a mismanaged and not well attended event. • you don't need a lot of fancy display stuff to start, those sorts of things you can build up over time. im a fan of getting a ton of my display stuff from the dollar store >:)
when you're ready and need the space to display a good amount of art the main thing you wanna pick up is definitely something that gives your table some verticality, whether that's a pvc pipe style setup, pegboards, or modular cube shelving (we all used to use these big heavy grid ones until the plastic sheet covered ones came out and now we all use those. theyre cuter and lighter and fit better on a table and come in more colours yayay. im sure some people still like the grid ones since they fit gridwall accessories tho) there are lots of other ways to display stuff but these r what i am most familiar with. definitely helps to look at youtube and pinterest and discord groups for display ideas!!
another thing you will want to start is a tablecloth. not every con has their tables already covered! there are those plastic picnic ones at dollar stores, and you can thrift bedsheets/fabric too.
• depending on the type of display and art you do you'll need some way to attach signs/prints/charms/etc to your display. i just moved from blu-tack to magnets but i used to use sewing clips (back when i used the grid cubes) and before then masking tape. all of them are okay and cool! except blu-tack. don't make the same mistakes as me it adds like 40 whole minutes to teardown and it leaves gross oil on the prints after some time. evil
• if you don't have business cards you can make a sign with a qr code that links to you/your shop! there are lots of qr code makers online that u can even customize with images and colours and stuff. there will be people that wanna know how to find you again after a con!
• these days a lot of people don't bring cash to conventions and it's pretty vital to bring some sort of card reader or other digital payment method. most of us use square - they recently made it so that the phone app can accept tap! so you don't need to jump for the expensive physical readers. i've also got a paypal dot me qr code and my etransfer email (i think this is a canadian thing) on a lil sign on the table so people have lots of payment options. usually over 50% of my con income comes from non-cash sales!
• make sure to bring change!! we've forgotten in the past and done okay but it's always handy to be able to make change for people. you'll want a secure place to put cash as well, whether it's a locked moneybox that you keep out of sight or a place on your person (friend of mine uses a fanny pack!) you never wanna leave your table completely unattended but especially when it comes to the moneybox. if it's a multi day con this is an item you mustn't leave at your table overnight.
• keep count of your sales and expenses properly so that you can see how much you made at the end of the con. i really like spreadsheets but you can even just note it down in a book. here's a little example of one con for me:
Tumblr media
• you'll want to make a checklist of stock and display stuff to bring, but don't forget to make a list of minor stuff like phone chargers and scissors and tape and glue and pens and paper. multiple types of tape and paper if possible. they don't feel super important until you're stuck because you forgot to make a price sign and have to get by with a sharpie and a napkin. don't let that be you!! dollar store sticky note pads are super useful for this type of thing.
• plan out your prices and do as much prep (counting, sign making, display planning, packing/sorting) as you can beforehand so that the event doesn't feel too stressful. make sure your merchandise is stored in an easily accessible way for you behind the table so you aren't scrambling or rummaging too much when people are asking for stuff!
• similarly, whatever you can leave out for people to just pick/grab themselves, the more of it you're likely to sell. things like stickers and charms are good for this - people like to touch stuff! and it makes it so you don't need to go fishing for items for people as frequently. generally i don't do this with more expensive items just to be safe.
• if you sell prints, people are gonna ask for sleeves to keep them safe, especially at outdoor events. sometimes people ask for sleeves/bags even if they dont buy anything. they're a good idea to have on hand and you can find em for pretty cheap online and for a bit more expensive at dollar stores (i use OPP bags. if you dont wanna use plastic you can always get paper bags/envelopes/glassine bags instead)
• a cushion for the chair is a good idea. lots of conventions have really uncomfy chairs. some folks even bring camping chairs instead!
• pack snacks/lunch/water/drinks/have lunch plans. if you have a table buddy that is able to run out for food that's always nice. you might be sitting but it uses a lot of energy to interface all day!! you'll be exhausted and hungry and it's gonna be important to get enough fuel for your brain to function properly. i genuinely would recommend juice/soda/coffee/energy dink alongside water and food if you wanna live, especially if its a multi day con. get good sleep on days between!
• if you're excited to do trades with other artists during the con, the general etiquette is to wait until later in the day/near the end when the crowds are winding down! it's always okay to ask if someone's doing trades, and don't be upset or press them if they aren't interested or have certain stuff they don't want to trade.
• speaking of con etiquette, depending on the type of vert you are (intro/extro) and or how much customer service experience you have, interfacing can be nervewracking. my general rule is that if they stop to look, i say Hello and let them browse. if they seem interested in my table i try and do some small talk. stuff like How are you/How's the event been for ya/compliments on their outfit/cosplay/merch they have on like pins etc are good! kids and old folks love this. as tiring as it is to do some of my favourite parts of cons is talking to nice people that like my art!! all the folks that say nice things about my work are what keep me drawing ;w; i keep my sketchbook with me to jot down/doodle nice and funny encounters just cus it makes me happy to look back on XD
• when it's teardown time try to put stuff away as neatly as you can. you might be tired and just wanna toss all your stuff into whatever it is you brought it in but i promise future you (especially next-con you) will be so thankful that you put all your price signs into one baggie etc etc.
• speaking of bringing and putting away merch - you'll need a way to get it all from your home/car to your table and back. lots of people use dollies and other types of utility cart (i can guarantee there are a bunch of those grandma grocery ones at your local thrift store!!) - i personally use a big luggage bag and a collapsible wagon, but back in the day we used to CARRY bin after bin of stuff from the car and back in multiple trips which i would NOT reccomend lol. not every convention hall is easily accessible or close to parking so not having to lift stuff if you can avoid it is gonna be vital.

Philipp's Day at the Construction Site
Philipp's story is a testament to the power of trying new things and pursuing one's dreams, even in the most unexpected ways.
Tumblr media
Once upon a time, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, lived a teenager named Philipp. He was known for his casual attire and a spirit of curiosity. One day, while strolling through a park, Philipp, dressed in his favorite trendy t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, came across a market. His eyes were drawn to a stall selling old boilersuits in various styles, including high-visibility, polyester/cotton blends, and PVC.
Tumblr media
Philipp's interest peaked when he spotted an orange high-visibility boilersuit. He examined it closely and asked the seller, a friendly person of Middle-Eastern descent, about the price. After a moment of thought, Philipp purchased it, envisioning how perfectly it would fit into his wardrobe.
Tumblr media
Back at home, Philipp decided to explore the basement, where he discovered a pair of old, dirty black rubber boots. He brought them to his room, thinking how well they would go with the boilersuit he had just bought. Standing in front of his mirror, Philipp tried on the boilersuit and boots, contemplating his reflection. He imagined himself working on a construction site, a profession he had always admired.
Tumblr media
The very next day, dressed in his new attire, Philipp stepped outside and to his surprise, found a construction site right in front of his house. He approached the construction site manager, a person of Hispanic descent, and asked if he could help. The manager, surprised but impressed by Philipp's enthusiasm, agreed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Philipp worked tirelessly, learning new skills and performing tasks with care and concentration. He felt a sense of accomplishment and joy as he worked alongside the other construction workers. His day at the site was hard but fulfilling.
Tumblr media
Exhausted but content, Philipp returned home in the evening. He was covered in dirt, a testament to his hard work. He lay down on his couch, still wearing his boilersuit and boots, reflecting on the day's experiences. Despite the exhaustion, Philipp felt a deep sense of satisfaction, having taken a step towards a dream he cherished.

The Art of Manliness’ Ultimate Guide to Summer

What to Wear When the weather warms up, a new set of clothes in your wardrobe gets put into rotation. It’s harder to dress stylishly in the summer than it is in the colder, layer-friendly months, but you don’t have to (only) default to t-shirts and shorts. The articles below will acquaint you with alternatives that look sharper, yet still keep you cool, and even offer some tips on how wear that t-shirt better when you do opt for it. Read these style guides to specific sartorial pieces: * Summer Smart Casual: 3 Getup Ideas for the Office, Date Night, and Weddings * The Guayabera * The Classic Camp Collar Shirt * The Polo Shirt * The T-Shirt * Khakis * The Seersucker Suit * Boat Shoes * Mohinders (My #1 recommendation for summer shoes!) * My Go-to Sunglasses for Summer And check out these overview articles as well: * A Man’s Guide to Summer Dress: Part I and Part II * Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Casual Summer Style * Summer Style: How to Dress for an Outdoor Social Event What to Do Warm weather, school vacation, and holidays like the Fourth open up new possibilities for recreation, relaxation, travel, and general mischief.

The drawing is pretty crude but you should get a pretty good understanding of what we're working with here. This is the PVC target stand I use. I wanted to tag @inkandguns in this post but I think a lot of my mutuals can get some use out of this. It's kinda expensive and pretty bulky if you don't have a lot of storage space, but the weight makes them stand up to the wind really well and I know that's something Inky deals with on a fairly regular basis.
I apologize again for the crude paint drawing but I didn't want to dig mine out of storage to snap a pic.
You're going to need a couple sticks of 3 inch PVC. Cut them into 2ft chunks until you have 7 of them. Take a T and plug a 2ft stick into each hole. If you want to put a dab of PVC glue to help keep them from popping out that's a good idea but don't go crazy. If a piece gets shot up until it HAS to be replaced it's nice to be able to replace just the damaged area unstead of having to trash the whole target stand. I learned that lesson pretty well when my buddy hit the corner of mine with a shotgun slug and shattered it.
Anyway as I was saying take a T and put a 2ft stick in each hole to make it a jumbo T. That makes one leg. Take another T and do the same thing to make the other leg.
Next you're going to turn your jumbo T's upside down so they look like this ⊥ that is how they will stand on the ground. At the top of each leg you're going to attach another T but do it sideways You want one end going straight down into the leg, another straight up into the air, and the third end going out to the side as shown in the front view.
At this point the only piece you have left is one last stick so put that in the two small T-s at the top of your legs to combine them. That will complete the base.
In the open top of each leg should go a wooden stick. I find that 6ft sticks work the best. Last set of sticks I got were 5ft and I had to put an energy drink can inside each leg to boost the sticks up high enough to work for me. They will wobble around but that's okay.
Next you'll need a staple gun to staple your cardboard backing to the sticks. I find that 3/8" staples work fine but half inch is better. Definitely don't do less than 3/8 though or else it barely bites into the sticks at all. As a side note if you have a normal cardboard USPSA silhouette target you can just staple that directly to your sticks. It's a perfect fit.

heres my ghoulia Thoughts before i make any permanent (paint) changes to anything.
Tumblr media
for the sake of this post i put her back in the beloathed skirt 👍 i dont hate this design overall but there is so much i dislike. i miss the 2010s emo meets mid century meets dead girl vibe of ghoulias orginal style. i don't have a lot to say about sir hoots a lot, im glad he returned! but i really dislike the art style of the gen 3 pets.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i have to say, i enjoy all of the accessories that come with this ghoulia. I love the return of brain puffs!! the hand-held gaming device is incredibly cute, and being a gamer feels appropriate for ghoulia's whole nerdy/geeky/weird girl vibe. i love the return of deadfast on the board. i kind of like that she skates, but i hope shes still clumsy like she was in gen 1. her backpack isnt in this picture, but i adore the brain texture, and just the general facts that the signature dolls all come with book bags instead of purses. i love a doll backpack!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the details on these boots are awesome in classic mh fashion. i plan to repaint the boots to be cherry red, and then bring back out the little details. the platforms are also brain textured, but the glossy black paint makes it hard to photograph. the headstone earrings are perfect, no notes, i would wear these. the glasses are cute, and i like the bone shaped detail on the glasses arms, but the lenses are thick and kind of hide her face. might see if i can carve them down to just the frames cause i do like the shape.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the outfit pieces are.... lacking. the beanie is ok, it fits her head nicely, and the brain is cute, but it just feels like a very lazy piece to me and im indifferent to the grey jersey fabric.
I hate the skirt. its not that it doesnt feel like a mh piece in concept, but it doent feel like a ghoulia piece at all to me (bright pink and green pvc/leather miniskirt feels much more venus to me no??). It also fits her horribly. it rides up, it makes her look blocky and awkward, she can't sit down in it, and its a big highlight to how much i miss the cherry red over the bright pink for this specific character.
i like the shirt and jacket a little better. the shirt fits her very nicely, and while i don't love the unfinished edges it's definitely on par with a lot of the little gen 1 crop tops. i wish it was a nicer, softer cotton t shirt fabric though. i feel the same way about the fabric the jacket is made from. the jacket is my favorite piece from her outfit, it feels the most ghoulia to me. the monster movie font of the brains ribbon down the sleeves is cute and reminds me of her original mid century motifs, as well as the bomber cut. also more brain print haha. its ok, monster high has never been subtle. i just miss the secondary cherry motif she had before. it worked so well!!
this outfit feels kind of lame for a signature doll. as is, its pretty understated compared to the others, and none of the pieces are as nice as the quality of draculaura's shorts, pink blouse, or pink bustier (at this time she is my only other g3 doll). i think that with AT LEAST some different fabric choices this same design could have been better.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
my ghoulia also came with deep seam lines on the back of her thighs, which my draculaura has as well. ive seen others say the same, I think all gen 3 mh might have this leg seam. also, random holes in her feet?? but neither of these things really bother me much. overall, i think shes very cute, especially with a bit of a restyle. i love the shades of blue in her hair (though it tangles very very quickly with handling. like i said about draculaura, the lack of brush seems like an oversight). the green skin is really growing on me, i miss grey ghoulia but the green isnt nearly as bad as i feared and as time goes on i kind of like it. i feel like shes too pretty right now, in a princessy and also in a not dead enough way, with the soft pink lips and the blush on her cheeks and the bright eye makeup, but her cheeks are much less full than they seem in her stock photos, which is such a lovely suprise. while her face and jaw are wide, her cheekbones are quite high and angular and while her cheeks arent sunken the way her gen 1 mold's are, they aren't round at all. im excited to restyle and slightly customize her, and i plan to post again when shes all done 👍

Light on You - Word of Honor x EZ Studio Official Set 1 (Good Sword)
There were actually two different official Word of Honor fan fig manufacturers back in the day - Tofu, which I blogged about previously and which is more commonly known, and EZ Studio.
The EZ Studio figs were, as I understand it, fairly unpopular in the beginning, and certainly always remained less popular than the Tofu figs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The heavily stylized art and the marketing seemed to have been the main reasons. Perhaps these just didn't resonate with the Chinese public.
To no one's surprise, they resonated just fine with me. In fact, I actually love these. I enjoy that they look a little different than the rest of my figs, I love Lao Wen's stylized look in particular (his hair, the eyes - gorgeous) and the ombre shading on the costumes is just lovely.
Which is not to say these figs are perfect by any means. I wish each individual set (there are three) was completely specialized instead of re-using the base molding - there's no reason for A-Xu to have his robes drooping off his shoulder in every single fig set, for instance - but I also am not that picky of a buyer where this most beloved TV show is concerned. As long as the fig looks good and makes me happy, it works for me.
Tumblr media
A-Xu arrived with all kinds of cool things! We have his straw hat, complete with some errant peach blossoms, and Baiyi at it's bendiest. A-Xu is not, as one might expect, in his hobo disguise (which surely was a strike against it from the more discerning fans), but does have the disguise scar across his face. As much as I, like Lao Wen, vastly prefer A-Xu in his non-disguised form, I would actually have preferred Hobo-Xu here for canon's sake.
Tumblr media
A-Xu's hat fits on his head via these pegs that fit into the holes in his head. What's nice is that there's definitely a front and back side, which makes it fit a little more securely. Baiyi is fairly posable - you can kind of tilt it up and down in his hand to position it in front of his face or lower down.
Tumblr media
Lao Wen also comes with his white scholar's fan as a separate piece. You might not be able to tell, but that little bendy piece that is supposed to be the handle of the fan is NOT particularly handy. The fan is quite difficult to get to solidly into his hand, and falls out constantly. I should probably put a bit of the Museum Wax in his hand to get it to actually stick.
Tumblr media
Here they are! There's a beautiful ombre effect to the robes here that's a little hard to see.
Tumblr media
A-Xu has some peach flower blossoms on his robes, which go beautifully with the peach blossoms on his hat. I think Lao Wen looks particularly rakish from this angle!
Tumblr media
You can see the peach blossoms even better from this side. I wish we'd gotten Lao Wen's ginkgo hairpin from the first few episodes here instead of this one. I have yet to see that hairpin executed successfully in fig form. One day I'll get it!
Tumblr media
It's interesting they have the hair colors reversed here too - in the show A-Xu is the one with pure black hair, with Lao Wen's hair slightly more brown.
Tumblr media
The script on the left side (their right feet), translates per MTL as "a literary creation". The roundish writing on the right side is Koitake's branding. You can see their boots and Lao Wen's pants (sorry Lao Wen). I really like how well their boots are detailed on these figs.
Tumblr media
The box cards. Oh, that's how Lao Wen is supposed to hold his fan! Oops. It does look much better that way. It probably fits just fine in his hand that way too. Shoot, I haven't looked at these cards in forever. Let me, uh, check that out.
Tumblr media
Alright, a bonus extra pic. I realized I also hadn't taken an overhead shot, so it's the perfect opportunity to put his fan in his hand the right way, and showcase the top of A-Xu's perfect head. I was at least gratified to see that I wasn't totally clueless - Lao Wen's little PVC hand doesn't hold his fan any better this way. In fact, it won't stick at all. So, I did end up putting a bit of Museum Wax into his hand, and the fan sticks just fine now.
Material: PVC
Fig Count: 162
Diorama Count: 9
Snowglobe Count: 1
Rating: Perfect as a spring day! And it is a beautiful spring day in the jianghu, isn't it. A perfect spring day to have a drink. A drink on a boat.

Tips To Buy An Urinary Leg Bag in Winter Garden and Winter Park, FL
Kidney ailments and other medical conditions may require fitting the patient with a catheter. Many patients do not want to be constrained at home and are eager to ensure their daily commute to the workplace. Having a catheter in place is not a problem. It is important to ensure the storage of urine that trickles down almost continuously, courtesy of the catheter. The doctor in charge advises using a urinary leg bag in Winter Garden and Winter Park, FL. ​ Alternatively known as a catheter bag, sourcing the right type of urine bag becomes essential for people diagnosed with conditions affecting the proper functioning of the kidney, bladder, or other parts of the urinary system. Finding the right bag is not a problem when the user or the buyer is well-informed about the necessity. Some of the features that have to be checked and confirmed before spending money on such bags include the following:-
· Size- Yes! Size does matter when one is eager to source a bag that will hold urine for a certain period. The leg bags are available in sizes from 300ml to 750ml. It is not wise to buy the most oversized bag. Instead, the right size will depend on one's lifestyle and the average urine output. While some patients prefer strapping the 750 ml to their leg to continue being outdoors till late hours. Others prefer the compact size of 350 ml. When there is no advisory to follow, it is best to begin by using a moderate-sized bag.
· Tubing- The tube leading from the opening of the bag to the endpoint strapped on the leg must be determined according to the necessity. A tubing of 10 cm is ideal for patients who want to keep the bag strapped to their upper thighs. It is advisable to source a larger tubing of 30 cm when the bag is intended to be strapped to the lower leg. One may also use a more flexible tubing strapped to a midpoint between the thigh and the lower limb.
· Tap/Valve- This is the bag's most crucial part as it helps drain urine as required. One may go with the T-Tap, which allows the user to open and close the bag by sliding it easily. This can be done with a single hand, making it highly convenient for patients who must go out and remain outdoors for a long time. The patent may also go for the lever tap that needs to be pushed down to open. This tap benefits patients who are not very dexterous and prefer to use both hands simultaneously.
· Material- Positioning the catheter bag correctly and ensuring urine draining and cleaning the bag is essential to provide comfort and convenience. Checking the material of the bag is important as well. Well, the patient can choose between clear PVC bags or fabric-lined bags
It is not a good idea to buy incontinence supplies in Tampa Bay and Tampa, FL based on affordability. One must also connect with a well-known supplier to ensure the quality of products.

How To Choose The Best Decking For Your Climate And Lifestyle?
Picture this: a sunny afternoon in Adelaide, the BBQ sizzling, and your family gathered on your dream deck. But wait—before sending out invites for that housewarming party, let’s talk decking. 
Choosing the right decking material isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about ensuring your deck can handle Adelaide’s unique climate and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. So, let’s dive into how you can make the best choice for Best Decking Adelaide!
Understanding Your Climate: Why It Matters
Adelaide is known for its Mediterranean climate: hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Your decking material must withstand this weather without fading, warping, or becoming a hazard. But it’s not just about surviving the weather; it’s about thriving in it!
Timber Decking: A Classic Choice with a Twist
Timber decking is a popular choice for many homes in Adelaide. It’s naturally beautiful and adds warmth to any outdoor space. However, not all timber is created equal. 
Hardwoods like Merbau and Spotted Gum are great options for decking Adelaide because they’re dense and naturally resistant to termites and decay. But remember, timber requires regular maintenance—like staining and sealing—to keep it looking its best.
Composite Decking: The Low-Maintenance Marvel
If spending weekends sanding and sealing isn’t your idea of fun, composite decking might be your perfect match. Made from wood fibres and recycled plastic, composite decking is incredibly durable and resistant to the harsh Adelaide sun. 
It won’t warp, splinter, or require much more than a quick wash to stay looking fresh. Plus, it’s an eco-friendly option for those who want to minimise their environmental impact.
PVC Decking: The Ultimate in Weather Resistance
PVC decking is another great option for decking Adelaide, especially if your deck is exposed to direct sunlight or moisture. 
This material is 100% plastic, so it’s highly resistant to water, mold, and mildew. PVC decking is also incredibly lightweight and comes in various colours and styles, so you can get the look you want without worrying about the weather taking its toll.
Lifestyle Considerations: Tailoring Your Deck to Your Needs
Your deck isn’t just an extension of your home; it’s an extension of your lifestyle. How you plan to use your deck should play a significant role in your choice of material.
Entertaining: Space and Durability
If you love hosting parties, you’ll want a deck that can handle heavy foot traffic, furniture, and the occasional spill. Composite and PVC decking are ideal for entertaining because they’re durable and low-maintenance. 
You won’t have to worry about stains from food or drinks, and they’re sturdy enough to support all your guests without showing wear and tear.
Family-Friendly Decking
Safety is a top priority for families with kids. Timber can be a great choice, but it’s essential to keep it well-maintained to prevent splinters. 
Composite and PVC decking offer smoother surfaces less likely to cause injury. Plus, these materials are slip-resistant, making them safer for little ones running around with wet feet.
Eco-Conscious Living
If living sustainably is important to you, composite decking made from recycled materials is an excellent choice. 
Not only are you giving new life to what would otherwise be waste, but you’re also choosing a product built to last, reducing the need for replacement and repairs.
Final Thoughts: Choosing the Right Decking for Your Climate and Lifestyle
Choosing the best decking for your home in Adelaide doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By considering the climate and how you plan to use your deck, you can find the perfect material that will look great and last for years. 
Whether you go with the natural beauty of timber, the low-maintenance convenience of composite, or the durability of PVC, your deck will be the perfect spot for making memories.
So, when you’re ready to make your deck dreams a reality, remember to choose wisely. After all, decking Adelaide is more than just a project—it’s an investment in your home and your lifestyle.

The following are the various types of fittings available for use with gasketed PVC pipes:
Tees: These fittings have an outstanding leg positioned at a 90° angle to the main pipe, allowing for the creation of a T-shaped junction.
Crosses: Crosses have two outstanding legs that are opposite each other, forming a plus (+) shaped intersection.
Bends: Bends are used to change the direction of the pipeline. Standard angles available include 11.25°, 22.5°, 45°, and 90°. Custom-built angles can also be manufactured, ranging from 1° to 90°.
Sweeps: Sweeps are used to change the alignment or direction of the pipeline while minimizing hydraulic losses. They typically come in angles ranging from 1° to 5°.
Couplings/Sleeves: These fittings are used to join two pipes of the same diameter. Their applications include:
Connecting existing lines
Joining short pipe lengths
Repairing damaged pipelines
Changing pipeline direction using high-deflection couplings
Reducers/Tapers/Adapters: These fittings are used to transition between two different pipe diameters.
Tapped Couplings: Tapped couplings are one-piece fittings with pre-molded threads, designed for service taps. They can accommodate various mainline sizes and come with numerous tap configurations.
Plugs/Caps: Plugs and caps are used to stop the flow in a segment of the pipeline, typically at dead ends.
Custom Products: Custom products can be manufactured according to specific requirements and are available with either push-on or restrained joints.
Manufacturing Methods
There are three main manufacturing methods used for producing AWWA PVC fittings, all of which utilize gasketed push-on joints. The internal pressure capacity of these fittings is equal to or greater than the pressure rating of the pipe with which they are used.

Align the Bracket: Hold the bracket up to the installation area to ensure it fits correctly. Use a level to make sure it is straight.
Mark the Drill Holes: Mark the locations where you will drill holes for the fasteners. Make sure these marks are evenly spaced and aligned with the mounting bracket holes.
Proper preparation of the mounting hardware is essential for a secure and stable installation.
Installing the Mounting Bracket
With your measurements and markings in place, you can now install the mounting bracket:
Drill the Holes: Using a drill, make holes at the marked locations. Ensure the holes are deep enough to securely hold the fasteners.
Attach the Bracket: Align the mounting bracket with the drilled holes and attach it using screws, bolts, or rivets. Make sure it is securely fastened and level.
Double-Check Alignment: Once installed, double-check that the bracket is level and securely attached. This will ensure the PVC strips hang correctly.
Installing the mounting bracket correctly is crucial for the stability and functionality of the PVC curtain.
Attaching the PVC Strips
With the mounting bracket securely in place, you can begin attaching the PVC strips:
Start from One End: Begin at one end of the mounting bracket and attach the first PVC strip. Most strips come with pre-punched holes or hooks for easy attachment.
Ensure Proper Overlap: Attach the next strip, ensuring it overlaps the previous strip by the desired amount (typically 50%). This overlap creates an effective barrier.
Continue Across the Bracket: Continue attaching strips along the entire length of the bracket, maintaining consistent overlap. Ensure each strip is securely attached and hangs straight.
Attaching the PVC strips properly ensures they provide an effective barrier and function as intended.
Ensuring Proper Overlap
Proper overlap of the PVC strips is essential for the curtain’s effectiveness:
Check the Overlap: After attaching the strips, check that each strip overlaps the next by the correct amount. This overlap helps maintain the barrier’s integrity.
Adjust as Needed: If any strips are not overlapping correctly, adjust them by loosening the attachment and repositioning the strip.
Test the Barrier: Walk through the curtain to ensure it moves easily and the strips return to their original position, maintaining the barrier.
Proper overlap ensures that the PVC curtain effectively controls temperature, noise, and contaminants.
