Re:Black conduit House sleeves problem 2 Months ago  
I just measured the ID of the ultra-flex (the black liquid-tight conduit from McMaster-Carr) to be 20 mm. I think that of the two choices that you have, 17 mm is the way to fly. Do you have a _link_ for the product you are contemplating? In any case, let us know how it works out, with some photos if possible.

17 mm is about 1/2 in of inside diameter. That's how big the inside of the flex pipe is. The outside diameter is about 3/4 in or around 19-20 mm. So it should work. Hopefully they are the same as the ones DanH. used on his. They sure worked fine for me almost 2 years or more. One is starting to show some signs of age now.
Make sure they will fit inside th pipe or you'll get stuck with 100 pieces of useless _meta_l rings.

Here's the picture - it should be alright, but I think 10m is the shortest reel I can buy.

Parts for Rope Sleeves 2 Months ago  
Hey Y'all,

Just got back from Charleston, SC with my wife and read that you all are looking for parts to make your own sleeves. If you want reply with your needs and I can figure out the costs for each one of you.

See you at the top,
Dan

PS In England call up a friendly electrictain and have him tell you what he uses for flexible conduit that is water prove.

I would be interested in about 10 sleeves for me and my climbing buddies.
(22 ft of flex conduit plus 20 end caps will make 10 sleeves)
That will keep us out of trouble and in the trees for a few years unless you climb with "Mossy Moss" and he eats sleeves for lunch with his high speed squirrel climbs maneuvers! He went back to the heavy duty gray sleeves!
