How it works

This kit provides the core hardware needed to assemble a round butterfly frame:

• Butterfly frame ears (x2): Allow mounting and support of the frame on stands or rigging
• Frame connectors (x2): Join pipe sections securely for longer spans

Simply add compatible 1-1/2" Schedule 40 pipe cut to your required lengths to create a frame sized for your specific diffusion or scrim.
