Buyers Products CC600 PVC Conduit Carrier Kit, 6 Inch Diameter, Mounting Hardware Included, Spring-Loaded Latch, Weather-Resistant Door Gasket

Painted the 6" PVC matte white and the carriers black. Carrier is well made and works perfectly. Much better than I expected for the price. Would definitely buy again.

The cast parts are pretty impressive. I don't know of another kit that has such a great, real "saddle" for the bottom of the pipe. The cap and door end are well-cast, and fit schedule 40 PVC quite well. I wish the door locked more securely, but I modified it a bit to to make me rest easier when driving with a load of steel bar up there.For the record, this whole kit cost as much as just two PVC caps cost from my local irrigation outlet. This same kit from other online sources can be almost 2x as much as it is being sold here! I can make my own caps. I can make my own U-bolts, but I really liked those cast saddles, and the cost is so reasonable... so I bought the kit.I have some info and corrections (to statements I've seen in the comments) to share.First, this fits well on Schedule 40 PVC. If you want a lighter system, the kit will work on the drain/waste PVC that is about schedule 20. But you must use a bell end on both ends to get the diameter correct. OR you can cut some bands of a few inches each, cut those bands so they expand like a spring clip, slip them onto each end and glue them to make the correct diameter for the cast ends to fit. To strengthen the areas where the U-bolts go, and to make the pipe fit better in the saddles, you can (and I did!) add similar bands (cuffs?) to those areas where the U-bolts hold it. A band saw is really handy at this point!The U-bolts that came with mine are NOT 3/8-16 like everybody says (including the distributor!). They are certainly close, but are actually M10-1.5. This is so close that the M10 nuts from this kit will thread onto slightly narrower 3/8-16 bolts, but a 3/8-16 nut will not work on the U-bolts that came in my kit. I had to create a custom mount for mine, and purchased the 3/8 nuts I thought I needed, but NOPE. Will not fit the U-bolts. The thread pitch is just barely close enough, but the diameter of the M10 bolt is 0.6mm larger than a 3/8 bolt. So don't make the mistake I did! Realize that these are metric and don't waste money on nice stainless 3/8 hardware.

I designed a fly rod rooftop carrier because the commercially available ones are above my budget.I bought 2 sets of these caps and powder coated them red and installed on my tubes.Some have complained about the gasket inside not sealing. Mine were good enough. I am making my own gaskets and doubling up the gasket thickness to seal a little more tightly.I like that these lock. They are very easy to actuate and open/close with one hand. I oriented them such that the hatch swings open horizontally like a house door. Works great.FYI: the u-bolt thread size is M10x1.50.Also: they come as raw aluminum. The Amazon photos appear to show grey powder coating but they are not.I bought my own stop nuts to prevent the included nuts from rattling loose on rough mountain jeep trails in Colorado. The included nuts already we’re working loose after 1 week of highway driving to work, testing things out before we hit the trails tomorrow.I am very happy with these. I have made rod tubes using sewer clean out caps, but these aluminum caps add a professional polish and allow you lock them securely.I don’t make stuff for posing at the mall… I use all my stuff on the trials.

The only issue I had was the U bolt was not made to fit over a 6-5/8 schedule 40 PVC pipe. The radius is too small. So instead of drilling nice 3/8 holes I had to open them up to 11/16 to get them to go through.

Worked really great with schedule 40 pvc tube. Metal ends seem so much more secure than pvc versions. U-bolt attachment and cradle worked nicely.

Great product well built & looks nice. Lockable

Works perfect. Just buy some 6" PVC and rivet the caps on and drill some holes. Took under an hour.

Cap lid fell off and i lost pipe all over the road. I’d like to get a new lid. I’ve had them for a while and just installed them last month. Only lasted about 3 weeks.

No venden la tapa que se me cayo y la requiere de nuevo

Total waste of money.

Exactly as described

5 star

Works good, but they only fit on the bell end of the pipe I used, so I had to cut a piece of the bell end and glue it on the other side to make things work
