| hermetic:
are you going to drop a piece of plastic drainpipe over the wires and pipes between the slab and the ground to stop the critters chawing on them? |

The 'suck' pipe will be enclosed in 68 mm down pipe all the way from the well to the pump compartment, The output, which will be 32 mm MDPE will be in a short length of similar pipe just for the vertical bit. The SWA cable probably will be ok but now you mention it I may sleeve it with 40 mm waste pipe. In the wife's chicken shed I had to run the 25 mm MDPE water pipe through a bit of scaffold tube as the rats ate it :bugeye: |

Last night I drew up a substantial 28 mm pipe mounting clamp and set it 3D printing a pair on the Cetus in ABS. 8 hours and 14 minute job so left over night churning away. I need substantial clamps for where the four pipes leave / enter the chiller unit and have hoses dangling on them - no easily available plumbing type clips are heavy enough duty. This morning the first pair were printed and came out OK apart from a bit of de-lamination of layers near the through holes - (for an idea of scale the through holes are 10 mm). I have introduced some acetone into the cracks and clamped them up hoping that it will re-bond, meanwhile the next pair are printing which should finish about 4:30 this afternoon - only two more sets after that ! |

Yes that's what I based it on - I have some for smaller hydraulic pipes on my JCB but not that size. |
