Kupo KS-166 Pipe Spinning Gag For 5/8""""(16mm) Pipe

Kupo KS-166 Pipe Spinning Gag – 360° Rotary Bearing for 5/8” (16mm) Pipe

The Kupo KS-166 pipe spinning gag gives you smooth 360° rotation for 5/8” (16mm) pipes. It mounts securely and lets you rotate multiple baby receivers while keeping a compact footprint. Use it to build rotating platforms or to suspend and spin lighting pipes in studio setups.

Key features

• Solid steel construction for durable support.
• Chrome plated finish for corrosion resistance and a clean look.
• Six 5/8” (16mm) baby receivers, each fitted with set screws for secure grip.
• Terminated with a TVMP adapter to allow mounting into either a 1-1/8” (28mm) junior receiver or a 5/8” (16mm) baby stud.
• Top end tapped with 3/8”-16 threads to accept a fixed plate or additional mounting hardware.
• Rotary bearing system provides continuous 360° spinning motion.

How it helps on set

Use the KS-166 when you need controlled rotation of multiple pipes or fixtures. For example:

• Build a rotating platform or lazy Susan using 5/8” (16mm) pipe sections.
• Suspend multiple lighting pipes overhead and swing them to create a tunnel light effect for studio cinematography.
• Quickly change orientation of fixtures without disassembling the rig, thanks to the rotary bearing system and set-screw receivers.

Specifications

Installation and practical notes

Install the KS-166 by inserting the TVMP adapter into a compatible junior receiver or securing it on a 5/8” baby stud. Then insert 5/8” (16mm) pipes into the baby receivers and tighten the set screws to lock them in place. The tapped 3/8”-16 top end accepts a fixed plate when you need a rigid mounting point.
