hihihi 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 The vertically running copper pipes runs down, then u need to bend it to make it into a L-shape for its opening to face the mixer. Then has to cut screw-thread on this opening to fix a connector which then connects to the mixer. Not something anybody can DIY, needs alot of tools. To hold the pipe, this is one type of simple pipe clamp. There are others designs with more holding power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cap cost about $10 to $15 at normaly poh joo or royal franco shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
