WILL NOT FIT 4 " PVC pipe fittings

I should have listened to other reviews saying it was the wrong size but there aren't many clear pipe options anywhere so I gave it to her I was trying to do a home project and the 4" PVC fitting I bought to use with it didn't even fit. I was able to gently melt the hoses and fittings, straight enough to fit them in and I JB welded them together It ended up working but not as expected and I was unsatisfied that it worked when it should have worked.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Great tube for softball stick bag.

I was looking for a new wheeled bag that had a racket compartment with separate sleeves. I saw this and thought the diameter would be just right for a single racquet to fit in the open compartment of my current gear bag. Bought to see how it would fit. That's great. Very light and perfect diameter. I can put 4 of these in the open compartment of my bag which makes placing the clubs very simple and easy and prevents the clubs from rubbing and bumping into each other during transport. Very happy.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Don't waste your money

I agree with other reviews: Powertec products are a waste of time. Go to your home store and buy 2 1/2 PVC pipe, PVC fittings and flexible (black) fittings instead - for a fraction of the cost of Powertec. I did this. These prices are outrageous, and to make matters worse, Powertec fittings don't connect with their own clear tubing, so each connection requires at least 2 of their expensive 'flex clamps', which are available for less than half the price be sold at this price. in HD format.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
