"21.5
mm white PVC sleeve inserts!"
Purpose !
---------
The aim of the following pages is to describe a "relatively easy" way
to form sleeve inserts for the commonly available 21.5 mm white PVC tubing.
This Tubing is often used as launch tubes due to its perfect fit in a water bottle neck.
Unfortunately for most of the world (apart from the USA).
There is no commercially available PVC tubes fitting tightly, or slightly loose inside it.
Therefore i devised a method suiting an average "handyman" to do exactly just that.
By choosing a different sized tubing. Using a suitable "mandrel" And a couple simple power tools.
Supplies:
---------
Mandrel: round metal curtain rod (The cheap one covered with the white PVC sheat.)
+- 16.5 mm covered with its sheath ("+-" Because it's not exactly round.)
+- 16.0 mm Unsheathed.
Tubing: Clipsal 20 x 12 PVC Oval electrical conduit (See picture and ref later)
Tools: 100 mm angle grinder with thin metal cutting disk.
Heat gun.
