Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Metal Pipe Internal Diameters?
-
23-05-2020 6:50pm#1Stigura has a rod, 16.15mm in diameter. He wishes to stick said rod into a hollow pipe, such that said pipe will hold the rod nice and steady, without having to hammer the thing in. The idea is to just pop the rod into the pipe. Then, whip it out again, when ever.
The pipe really wants to be steel, not copper, as Stigura plans to sds drill a hole into a road. Beat the pipe in, thus leaving readily available places to pop his rods into, without bothering anyone's tyres. Steel pipe will, of course, take that initial pounding better than copper.
Is there a standard bore of steel pipe Stigura should be looking for?
Thanks

Thanks! That should be plenty tight enough. Now I know what exists, I'll try to source some locally. Even scrounge a bit. I only need a foot or so.
My reasoning is far too much bother to bother explaining here. I just want it so the rods won't rattle about. Yet won't practically flop out either 0 -

Hang over from primary school. They always presented problems in that format. Given a problem, to this day, I think about it like that
20mm seems to be a recurring theme, anyway. Probably best to try for what's most commonly out there, before complicating things any more.0 -

If you really want to go with pipe .....
Ye say that like there's a better option, Dave?
Basically, I don't want to drag it out into laborious why and where for detail. But, I have these two rods that I want to be able to stick into a proper road, so they stand at 45 degrees to the surface.
Then obviously, I'll want to be able to whip them out again and no one be any the wiser. I figured drilling into said road and beating 'pipe' into it would give me sheathes. I even plan to sink them, ever so slightly, so I can drop bolts into them. Thus sealing them and making them easier to find again.

Mick ~ and anyone else who Really Must know what I'm up to? No worries. Google " Whoosh Net ". Ye'll see the rods I'm concerned with
They're normally deployed on grass. Needs must though. I have to put mine on my private road. And, yes; I'm permitted 0 -

Ah! Apologies, no. My bad, I miss read previous posts and possibly got confused with another topic somewhere else. I thought you had gone off the idea of using pipe and was trying to say if you really wanted to go back to the pipe idea you could.
The only issue I see is getting your hands on a bit of it and not an industrial amount! Try somewhere like Amari https://www.amari-ireland.com or a mechanical contractors for an off cut.0 -
No worries, Dave. Actually, I'm getting really into Greebo's idea now. Rubber could be so much better than metal.
It won't rust, for one thing. But, more than that; If I can get the internal size just so ~ and, at this point I've about given up trying to accurately measure my Round rods, even with my fun new caliper ~ a rubber pipe / sleeve could take a grip on the rod.
I'm thinking; As opposed to have it either hammered in or virtually rattling around in a very unforgiving metal pipe.
I did find a length of hose pipe. Much too small. Then, I found a length of white, plastic hose like pipe I'd bought for some purpose. Bit too small. But, the point is, I can buy that stuff by the foot. And, I'm sure, it comes in a whole array of internal diameters.
If I can just nail the exact right size I need? I'm there! Stuff's readily available and cheap as chips. Though, saying that? I'm so gagging to get going with this that, if the place in town only has a hose pipe that's do? I'll buy the whole reel!

22m qualpex has an internal diameter close enough to what you need.
You could either hammer in any size metal pipe and fix the qualpex to it afterwards (dump some adhesive, mortar, whatever into the bottom) or dig a hole and cement in the qualpex itself.0 -

Sounds like a good plan 0 -
I Have My Pipe!!!
I'd asked my neighbour ~ a cattle farmer ~ to have a dig about his place for me. Day or two ago, he did the probably most sensible thing and asked me for one of my rods :rolleyes:
Tonight, he's brought me down a parcel from Amazon which the postman had left with him. Then, as I'm gleefully showing him what's in that box (My new chair wheels) He has an 'Oh, yes!' moment. Reaches into his motor and brings out my rod, almost completely buried in a black, plastic sleeve!
I can't begin to describe the feeling, when I gripped the two and drew the rod from that pipe! The resistance was Perfection! Ye can withdraw it with the least pressure. Yet, up end the pipe and 'shake' it down? Rod stays! Perfect! :cool:
Turns out this is the hard, black plastic pipe we use around here. Looking at it? Around an inch, external diameter? Want to run an electric cable across a track? Shove it through this stuff. I'd forgotten it even existed.
Excellent! My next trick is to get back into town, and find an SDS bit that'll bore the hole to hold this pipe.
Oh, and a traffic cone. Where can I legally buy a traffic cone? Because I'll want one. To place out in front of my net. Last thing I want, after all this hassle, is to set the net up and have some day dreaming lunatic drive straight over the whole bloody set up! :eek:0 -
