Uniseals

[Ereefic]

I want to connect 2 rubbermaid brute trashcans and was thinking of using uniseals. They should work fine right?

[GreshamH]

Yup :D I did just that.

probably the only way to do it infact. bulkheads dont really work for stiff rounded surfaces.

Are these something you can buy at Home Depot, Menards, etc.?

I don't know of any local places that carry them. I would recommend looking at Savko (http://www.savko.com/partlist.asp?pgid=2), unfortunately I just got an order in on Friday from them - if I saw this sooner, could have added them on for you. They have cheap/fast shipping though.

aquatic eco also has them, handy if you need any other fish stuff you can get it all in one order.

they have a $20 minimum order so keep that in mind if you order from them.

I am no expert but these uniseals look just like the grommets you see near the car audio gear at dept stores etc..... Different material maybe?

I used both AES (love those people :D ) and http://www.aussieglobe.com/uniseal1.htm

they are way different than grommets. They are denser material, and have a elongeted, tapered hole for the pipe. They will hold up to 40 psi.

they arent that different, they are the same idea really. just designed for a different purpose; inside hole is tapered so when the pipe goes through it pushes the outside out to lock it in. does quite a good job of it too; its far sturdier than one might think, it sit straight out, doesnt sag or anything.
