My 10mm oil pipe runs through the garage floor slab (in a screed-filled
channel) and I need to re-route one end, but this will need a

find a small inspection hatch, or to make a frame and cover insert. Can
anyone recommend a suitable hatch?


An aluminium rodding eye would give you a frame and cover but youd
need to
saw off the angled pipe beneath.Â* Just a thought.

Thanks Tim, I think that will fit the bill nicely so you've just won the
prize :-)

On further thought, I decided this was the final justification for a 3D
printer, so ordered a Prusa which is now partly assembled and waiting
for me to allocate more time to it. Building the extruder was an
"interesting" task and I'm in awe of the designer's skills.
Unfortunately, the 3D printer route means I have to climb the Fusion 360
hill, and that looks very steep!
