techniques to fasten PVC Pipe to a metal rod?

[KyleGilbert45]

Could you clarify how you wanted to connect the two pipes? Do you want to butt them end to end or put one at a perpendicular angle to the other?

If you just wanted to butt the two ends together you could make some kind of sleeve or coupling then just use screws or bolts to hold the pipes into the sleeve.

Two ways.

1. Weld a perpendicular piece of mettal on your metal rod that fits into pvc and then bolt through pvc.

2. Get dowel of wood to fit for a short distance inside pvc, 3 to 4 inches. Cut hole barely too small for metal rod. Cut slot from bottom of pvc and wood up to that hole. Slide rod in. Clamp down wood on pipe using bolts.

Still don't know what you're looking for but oh well.

HMMMMM thats a tough one... what was that stuff?/ four letter word ??, starts with a "g" hmmmmm, ummm how bout GLUE

That still is a tough one to figure out. There are quite a few differnt glues they cold use also you would have to add in that both materials are non porus.

yeah. don't use stick glue. i think it won't work.
it matters on the size of the rod, but if it's a big diameter, you might be able to use wire. maybe. its easy to suspend stuff in mid-air.. kinda.
well you said you were open to ANY ideas so...

If you are simply slipping the PVC over the end of a rod...
Cut a slit in the PVC (down the length of the overlap with the rod.) , slide it over the end of the rod, secure with a hose clamp or two that sqeezes the PVC against the rod.

Drill a hole in a PVC end "CAP", and stick a bolt thru from the inside. Tighten a nut down on it from the other side (really good). Then, glue the cap on the pipe with PVC cement.

For shrimp baiting, we use 12 foot 1.5" pvc pipes to mark the underwater bait. One year we added a 15" threaded rod to the end to help plant in firm bottoms.
