Hi,
I have a two pieces of 8" schedule 80 PVC pipe. I am using them to make drums for a rotary tumbler. They are closed on one end. I have Cherne mechanical plugs that I bought to fit the open end. The problem is the plugs are for schedule 40 PVC pipe. The schedule 80 has the same OD but a smaller ID. What I need is about two inches of the open end the ID increased to fit the plugs. I can bring the plugs with me. The plugs are adjustable but will not fit in the schedule 80 PVC. I can also bring a 6" PVC with the proper fit to demonstrate what I need.



Thanks
Doug Smith
