Name that fitting.

I'm looking for what I'd expect to find as some sort of fence fitting but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.

Here's a crappy sketch I made. The hole you can see through should be a through hole and the others do not go through. All inner diameters should be the same. I.D. should be 1" to 1.5"

The fence pieces I've seen for that were two piece and not one solid fitting.
Let me know if something works.

Those greenhouse bits are lovely!
The aluminum-alloy caps and fittings for chainlink fence find their way into lots of my sculptures and contraptions, but aren't very useful for loadbearing tasks. I use lots and lots of conduit brackets, which are cheap cheap CHEAP but strong when used with coarse-thread drywall screws. (To make a cross-coupler, use a small scrap of plywood and mount two brackets on each side. A dressier version that I needed for a more visible spot used a nice little aluminum disc and pop rivets. To keep PVC from sliding, drill a small hole and insert a screw as a stop.)

I think the fence fittings you're thinking of may be zinc?

The braces I have for a tall post are two pieces of stamped galvanized steel
