Title: Making you own gutter vac end tools plastic ??
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on June 30, 2021, 08:20:18 pm
Want to make some gutter vac end tools that are specific shapes to my needs. Only problem is I cant find the right diameter plastic.

Anyone know where I can get the right type of plastic as it's quite a thick hard wearing plastic

I used 1 1/2 solvent weld waist pipe and a straight joiner that will fit most cuffs if not put a couple of turns of insulation tape on it works a treat ,

Ali is better - you can shape it - squash it - bend it

2" thin wall is what I use

We shape the plastic pipe in a vice with a hot air gun once the plastic pipe has cooled it retains the shape you have made .
