In this review, we bring to your attention, perhaps, the simplest and easiest homemade product. This is a cork for crimping pipes. Its main purpose is to check the pipe for leaks.
In fact, the crimping plug is a plug. By the way, it can be used not only for crimping.
For example, you began to leak a tap on the watering hose or in another place, and this plug is useful as a temporary plug.
Well, now closer to the point. Making a cork for crimping is as easy as shelling pears. All you need is a plasma cutter, a lathe and a CNC milling machine. Well, as you understand it - this is a joke!
In fact, to make a crimping plug, we need a bolt, a wing nut, two washers and a rubber sleeve.
The main stages of work
This device is universal - depending on the diameter of the sleeve, it can be used on pipes of various diameters.
Now let's collect our useful home-made. Everything is simple here - as the famous detective would say: "Elementary, Watson!"
We put a washer on the bolt, then a rubber sleeve, then another washer, and twist the wing nut. Simple, right?
Using this device is even easier: insert the cork into the pipe and twist the nut.
And thus, the rubber sleeve is firmly pressed against the inner walls of the pipe. After that, you can crimp.
