I Donâ??t know what it is called either but I found a trip to an old lamp
repair shop was a lot of fun! What brought me there was nuts for that central
tube, they are not standard!
Iâ??d probably just drill a coupler.

I'm rebuilding a desk lamp where the top shade has broken off. The way the
lamp is constructed, it has regular lamp nipple bringing the wires up to a
2-bulb "winged" socket unit, and another piece of lamp nipple to sandwich the
shade and finial setup. It looks like those two nipples were connected by a
coupler that had two holes in it for the wires to exit, and that is what broke.
It wasn't a solid coupler that someone had drilled through; it was definitely
cast with two...stanchions? connecting the solid threaded parts. Picture a
hexagonal castle tower with 2 windows across from each other. I've looked
online for a picture to see what it's called and I'm coming up with nothing.
Any ideas on a name for this thing so I can find a replacement? The lamp is
worth about $5 so if I had a shop I would just drill holes in a coupler, but
that amount of effort in my current setup isn't worth it.
thanks,
jim
