Making you own gutter vac end tools plastic ??
« 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 .

Ask Herman to make a diy video for you.  ;D He was asking for suggestions.
