Ideal for schedule 40 galvanized pipe with a 2" ID and 2 3/8 OD. If you can use a drill bit you might as well drill a hole in it. One was 3/8 and it was easy. Got it bought a couple of these now and they are great.For those confused with the installation, drill a hole, go to your local big store and buy a 3/8" stainless steel screw with a 3" working length, a pair of washers and a nylon nut.It's not that heavy.
