Electrical tape sucks... should've just made a bead of JB weld.

i used to find a way to zip tie ---- when i had my ghetto setup. I had PVC 90* elbows (---- anyone who says they melt, they lasted 35K miles on a D @ 10#'s) and i forgot how i did it but i'd ziptie everything to everything and it worked :P

Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
 

just flare the end of the piping, or cut slits in the end of the pipe all the way around and bend it a little bit up. Welding a bead is a much better way

poor mans welding = http://search.harborfreight.com/cpis...=pipe+expander + couplers

they got em for alot cheaper.. there are the non screw ones which is basically a cone shape that you hammer into the pipe.. ittl expand one end of the pipe so you can jam the other end of the piping into it.. if i were to do it id expand both ends of the piping and cut a 3rd piece of piping to go inside both of them and the couples would never come offf at all

Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
 

no tape on the pipe, just the coupler...

I just noticed that it made the standard clamps hold better.... Not comparing to welding...but in my case, my welds all have pin hole leaks.. took an hour to re weld everything today to try and eliminate the bigger leaks..

Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
 

you could just buy the right size clamps from me. i have never had a properly sized t-bolt come off

Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
 

i've tried tape before doens't work for long. once it gets hot the tape slips off

Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
