Sub-assembly Part 1 of "S"

Take a 45 degree elbow and insert a pipe connector into one of the ends. Attach another 45 degree elbow onto the end of the pipe connector. Add one more 45 degree elbow. You should have a shape of the top of a pentagon. Repeat this whole process, so you have 2 pentagon shaped pieces.

Sub-assembly 2 of "S"

Take a 90 degree elbow and insert a pipe connector. Duplicate this.

Part 1 and Part 2 of "S"

Insert the pipe connector from Part 2 into one of the ends of Part 1. Repeat this on the other part 1 and part 2.

Put It All Together

Take the 3x.0.5in pipe and connect the two sub-assemblies. Congratulations! You have made an S.

"Z" Part 1

Connect a 1.5x0.5in pipe connector to a 90 degree elbow like you did in Part 2 of the "S". Take a 5"x0.5" pipe and insert it in the other opening of 90 degree elbow. Repeat this process.

Part 2 of "Z"

Take two 45 degree elbows and attach them onto the end of 6" pipe.

Putting It Together

Attach each pipe connector to one of the 45 degree elbows. Rotate the fittings until they match the picture. Congratulations, you created a "Z".
