PEX Ultimate Arch Bases Kit

This PEX Ultimate Arch Base Kit makes building arches easier than ever before thanks to our innovative design and pixel strip mounting system. The PEX Ultimate Arch Bases are an enhanced version of our standard PEX arches bases and replaces the PVC / EMT horizontal brace with PEX tubing allowing you to run pixel strips in both the arch and horizontally parallel to the ground. The bases are sized for 1″ PEX tubing with 1/2″ PVC stabilizing legs. The design features a first of its kind pixel strip holder which has a two part barrel design that precisely fits inside the PEX tubing. The inner barrel engages with the outer barrel through the use of a double dovetail and a lower platform on the inner barrel creates a strong friction fit with the silicone sleeve of the pixel strip securing it in place. A compact bungee system comes preinstalled on these strip holders and locks into the PEX tubing end caps allowing the pixel strip to be fully tensioned before you even assemble the arches! This greatly streamlines the build process making it possible to assemble arches in record time. The arch bases can be ordered with one of three different arch angles, which is the angle of the PEX when exiting the bases. A 0 degree angle will produce a taller, but narrower arch and conversely a 10 degree angle will produce a wider, but shorter arch. It all comes down to aesthetics and personal preference. This arch base kit comes with a pair of arch bases, four pixel strip holders with the bungees preinstalled, four PEX tubing end caps, four 8-32 x 3/8″ screws and four 8-32 x 1/2″ screws. Not included is the PEX tubing, PVC pipe, pixel strips* and any tools that may be needed for assembly. More information below including a video that overviews the arches and build process.
