Hollaender 5E-7 Tee (1-1/4″ IPS) – Aluminum Magnesium Pipe Fitting
The Hollaender 5E-7 Tee is a versatile and budget-friendly fitting designed for building strong and functional DIY raft frames. Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum-magnesium alloy, it provides dependable performance in wet and demanding river environments.
This tee fitting is designed for use with standard 1-1/4″ IPS pipe (1.72″ OD) and is ideal for creating internal frame connections such as crossbars for coolers, dry boxes, or drop bags. It integrates easily with SRC raft frame fittings and other modular systems, allowing for flexible and customizable frame designs.
Key Features
- Durable aluminum-magnesium construction for corrosion resistance and strength
- Fits standard 1-1/4″ IPS pipe (1.72″ OD)
- Ideal for internal frame connections and crossbars
- Compatible with SRC and other modular pipe fitting systems
- Cost-effective solution for DIY raft builders
Why Use This Fitting
The 5E-7 Tee is well suited for mid-frame structure where full adjustability may not be necessary. It allows builders to create solid, fixed cross members for gear support while keeping costs lower than using fully adjustable fittings throughout the entire frame.
Common Applications
- Cooler bay crossbars
- Dry box supports
- Drop bag frame sections
- Internal frame structure
Recommended Build Approach
A proven budget-conscious setup is to use four fully adjustable fittings at the frame corners, such as SRC raft frame fittings, and use Hollaender tee fittings like this one for the internal bays. This approach balances adjustability where it matters most with cost savings in lower-stress areas.
