Default Sealing SonoTube for use as an access port - Thanks for the input


"Bill Stock" wrote in message
...
I want to use a SonoTube as an access port for an underground valve. The
valve will be about 4' under ground. I thought if I painted the ST and
wrapped it in plastic it would hold up much better. It won't last a
thousand years, but it should meet my needs. I'll insulate the Tube to
prevent freezing.

Any ideas on the best way to mummify my Tube?


A piece of large ABS seems appealing, but I thought it would be expensive. I
was thinking of Fibreglassing my SonoTube, but I've got enough **** to do
without creating work.

Access is for a Pond shutoff for those that asked. It needs to go around a
large knive valve, so it's likely 6" minimum.
