    Dan has nailed it. Two 60 degree cuts will give u 120 degrees when put together.

    You can cut the pipes at any angle as long as the two added up make 120°, unless you want the centered cut look. Two 60° pieces are assuming that there is no obstruction I imagine.

    If u cut different size angles, they will not match up. The larger angle cut will be longer then the smaller angle.
