pipe clamp extension
I had enough pipe and couplers to make 3 3/4" pipe clamps of proper
length. I had two sections of pipe left and an extra set of clamp ends, but I didn't have another coupler and the two pipes together weren't long enough anyway. I didn't have time to go get another pipe so I took a 1 foot length of 2x2 and drilled a 1 to 2 inch deep hole into each end with a 1" spade bit. I was then able to thread the two pipe sections I had into this wooden coupler and get my fourth clamp. The wood creaked a little as a tightened the clamp, but the pipes did not pull out. Maybe this is a well-known trick, but I hadn't heard of it and it worked well for me. Charles |
