Buyers Products CC400 PVC Conduit Carrier Kit, 4 Inch Diameter, Mounting Hardware Included, Spring-Loaded Latch, Weather-Resistant Door Gasket

I bought this carrier for camping as a place to put my fishing reels. The carrier is really solid and well-built, but I can't find a short section of PVC pipe. Lowe's, Home Depot, and local hardware stores don't carry 8 inch pipe. I went to a plumbing supply store and all they had were very long 20 ft. pipes for over $250, when all I need is a 6 ft. section. I'll probably end up selling it because it's more trouble than it's worth. Great product, but check around to see if you can find the PVC before buying.

These are made of quality metal and very durable, easy to install and will purchase more in the future.

The cast parts are pretty impressive. I don't know of another kit that has such a great, real "saddle" for the bottom of the pipe. The cap and door end are well-cast, and fit schedule 40 PVC quite well. I wish the door locked more securely, but I modified it a bit to to make me rest easier when driving with a load of steel bar up there.For the record, this whole kit cost as much as just two PVC caps cost from my local irrigation outlet. This same kit from other online sources can be almost 2x as much as it is being sold here! I can make my own caps. I can make my own U-bolts, but I really liked those cast saddles, and the cost is so reasonable... so I bought the kit.I have some info and corrections (to statements I've seen in the comments) to share.First, this fits well on Schedule 40 PVC. If you want a lighter system, the kit will work on the drain/waste PVC that is about schedule 20. But you must use a bell end on both ends to get the diameter correct. OR you can cut some bands of a few inches each, cut those bands so they expand like a spring clip, slip them onto each end and glue them to make the correct diameter for the cast ends to fit. To strengthen the areas where the U-bolts go, and to make the pipe fit better in the saddles, you can (and I did!) add similar bands (cuffs?) to those areas where the U-bolts hold it. A band saw is really handy at this point!The U-bolts that came with mine are NOT 3/8-16 like everybody says (including the distributor!). They are certainly close, but are actually M10-1.5. This is so close that the M10 nuts from this kit will thread onto slightly narrower 3/8-16 bolts, but a 3/8-16 nut will not work on the U-bolts that came in my kit. I had to create a custom mount for mine, and purchased the 3/8 nuts I thought I needed, but NOPE. Will not fit the U-bolts. The thread pitch is just barely close enough, but the diameter of the M10 bolt is 0.6mm larger than a 3/8 bolt. So don't make the mistake I did! Realize that these are metric and don't waste money on nice stainless 3/8 hardware.

I bought the 6" for my fishing poles and it works perfectly. I riveted mine to the pipe for a little extra security. Good fit and finish.

Great product. Had for several months and no issues..

Common sense to either bolt or tap screw with a sealant, and to place hinge pin horizontally/parallel to ground, and to use something like a lock through lid latch hole. Otherwise don’t be surprised it slips off as it would be expected to do. Used on schedule 40 foam core low psi 8” sewer pipe contractor/industrial grade and fit snug from package. All hardware supplied for complete install, packaged well. Will pit corrode with salt air but expected result so apply finish/coating before exposure to elements. Hardware brackets, etc plenty long to straddle Thule large oval ladder rack brackets

Cap lid fell off and i lost pipe all over the road. I’d like to get a new lid. I’ve had them for a while and just installed them last month. Only lasted about 3 weeks.

I designed a fly rod rooftop carrier because the commercially available ones are above my budget.I bought 2 sets of these caps and powder coated them red and installed on my tubes.Some have complained about the gasket inside not sealing. Mine were good enough. I am making my own gaskets and doubling up the gasket thickness to seal a little more tightly.I like that these lock. They are very easy to actuate and open/close with one hand. I oriented them such that the hatch swings open horizontally like a house door. Works great.FYI: the u-bolt thread size is M10x1.50.Also: they come as raw aluminum. The Amazon photos appear to show grey powder coating but they are not.I bought my own stop nuts to prevent the included nuts from rattling loose on rough mountain jeep trails in Colorado. The included nuts already we’re working loose after 1 week of highway driving to work, testing things out before we hit the trails tomorrow.I am very happy with these. I have made rod tubes using sewer clean out caps, but these aluminum caps add a professional polish and allow you lock them securely.I don’t make stuff for posing at the mall… I use all my stuff on the trials.

No venden la tapa que se me cayo y la requiere de nuevo

Total waste of money.

Super bien fait mais 8 pouces c'est dur a trouver mais j'ai réussi et je suis bien content.

Exactly as described
