Pipe and Drape Accessories
CV Linens™' Pipe and Drape Accessories collection covers the hardware that keeps a pipe and drape or backdrop setup secure and organized: S hooks and valance hangers for hanging drapery, drape support clamps for extra stability, slip-fit base pins for connecting bases to uprights, and zippered carry bags sized for adjustable uprights, cylinder pedestals, and arch backdrop stands. These pieces are sold separately from full pipe sets, uprights, and bases, so you can restock exactly the part you need without buying a complete hardware kit.
What You'll Find in This Collection
Drape Hanging Hardware
S hooks, valance hangers, and drape support clamps handle the actual work of attaching fabric to a pipe and drape or backdrop frame.
- S Hooks for Banner Signs/Drapery: sold in a bag of 50, sized for hanging banners or drape panels directly onto a crossbar or pipe.
- Valance Hangers (9" and 3"): sold in sets of 2, giving a shorter or longer reach depending on how far the valance needs to sit from the pipe.
- Drape Support Clamps: sold in packs of 2, attach around a pipe or upright to add a secondary anchor point, which helps keep heavier or wider drape panels from sagging or shifting.
Base Pins & Connectors
Slip Fit Base Pins connect a weighted base to an upright pole. This collection includes a standard 6" Slip Fit Base Pin as well as a 6" Slip Fit Base Pin (USA Standard) option. Because slip fit pin sizing can vary between manufacturers, check the pin diameter your existing base and upright are built for before ordering a replacement.
Carry & Storage Bags
The remaining accessories in this collection are zippered and heavy-duty carry bags built to protect specific hardware and backdrop stands between events.
- Upright bags: separate bags sized for 6ft Adjustable Uprights, 8ft Adjustable Uprights, and 8-14ft Uprights.
- Cylinder Pedestal bag: a dedicated zippered bag for cylinder pedestals.
- Backdrop-specific bags: a 2-piece heavy-duty set for the 9.5ft Cherry Blossom Arch Backdrop, and a carry bag for the Open Heart Floral 3D Backdrop, both designed for CV Linens™ arch backdrop stands.
Matching the bag to the exact upright height or backdrop model keeps hardware protected in transport and speeds up breakdown after an event.
Choosing the Right Accessory for Your Setup
Because this collection mixes several accessory types, matching size to your setup matters more than shopping by category alone.
- Hanging hardware: consider how far the valance needs to sit from the pipe. The 3" Valance Hanger holds it closer, while the 9" option gives more clearance.
- Base pins: confirm the pin diameter your existing base and upright use, since slip-fit pins aren't universal across every hardware brand.
- Carry bags: match the bag to the exact upright height (6ft, 8ft, or 8- 14 ft) or to the specific backdrop stand it was designed for, such as the Cherry Blossom Arch or Open Heart Floral 3D Backdrop, since these bags are shaped for those particular pieces.
Using These Accessories With Your Pipe and Drape Setup
Most of these accessories are built to pair with structural hardware from CV Linens™ uprights, bases, and crossbars collection. Valance hangers and drape support clamps attach around an upright or crossbar to hold drapery in place, while slip-fit base pins join the base to the upright itself.
Once a setup is broken down, the carry bags in this collection keep uprights, cylinder pedestals, and arch or floral backdrop stands organized and protected until the next event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this collection include full pipe sets, uprights, or bases?
No. This collection is made up of accessories only, including hanging hardware, base pins, and carry bags. Uprights, weighted bases, and crossbars are sold separately in CV Linens™' uprights, bases, and crossbars collection.
What's the difference between the 9" and 3" Valance Hangers?
Both are sold in sets of 2 and serve the same hanging function. The difference is length: the 9" hanger creates a longer drop between the pipe and the valance, while the 3" hanger holds the valance closer to the pipe. Which one to choose depends on how much clearance your valance style needs.
Do I need drape support clamps if I'm already using S hooks?
They serve different purposes. S hooks hang drape panels directly onto a pipe or crossbar, while drape support clamps attach separately to add a secondary hold point, which is useful for heavier or wider panels that need extra stability along the pipe.
Are the 6" Slip Fit Base Pins interchangeable with any pipe and drape base?
Slip fit pin sizing can vary between manufacturers, so check the pin diameter your existing base and upright are built for before ordering. This collection includes a standard 6" Slip Fit Base Pin and a 6" Slip Fit Base Pin (USA Standard) option.
Will the carry bags fit uprights or backdrop stands I already own?
The carry bags in this collection are sized for CV Linens™ adjustable uprights (6ft, 8ft, and 8-14ft), cylinder pedestals, and specific backdrop stands such as the Cherry Blossom Arch and Open Heart Floral 3D Backdrop. If you're using a different upright length or backdrop model, check the bag dimensions on the individual product page before ordering.
Can the Cherry Blossom Arch and Open Heart Floral 3D Backdrop bags be used interchangeably?
No. Each bag is shaped and sized for its specific backdrop stand, so they aren't designed to be swapped between the two.
