After the pipes have been joined together, two boards are cut to size on which the pipes will be mounted in a later step. The boards must therefore be slightly longer than the pipes so that they have enough space on them. The two boards are screwed together at a 90° angle.
To prevent the pipes from sagging in the corner, a bushing is inserted into the open end of the T-piece. The corresponding spot is marked on the wood and drilled through.
