UV pipe clamps?

[ESH]

Hello, I'm wondering if BRS sells, or could tell me what kind of pipe clamps (Orange ones the guys are pointing at) you are using in the recent UV Sterilizer live video? I could have missed it, though I didn't hear anything mentioned about them in the video, and let's be honest, this might be one of the most groundbreaking easter eggs hidden within this video!!! Seems like the best way to mount the UV and I was hoping to pick some up. Appears to be some sort of quick release 3.5" pipe clamp, coupling or collar, but my keyword google search skills are not finding me anything.

Thank you!

There are clamps like that on thingiverse. Just have someone print them for you.

Our R&D guy, Ron, actually 3D printed them as a way to get the UV sterilizer mounted to the tanks in a nice, video friendly way. He's actually working on a couple of design tweaks, then might be submitting them to our product team for review. They certainly work well as-is, so I'm excited to see the final product

So have him post the files to thingiverse!

Thanks for the reply! They kind of remind me of automotive, billet aluminum style clamps for exhaust pipes and on turbo charged cars the intercooler pipe clamps. I searched through those parts and couldn't find anything specific that seemed to fit the bill or matched those exactly but I wonder if thats where he got the idea from. I really haven't found off the shelf PVC pipe holders at hardware stores and often have to get creative on mounting things. Your guy took creativity to a whole nother level!

I hope that the parts either get posted online for others to print themselves or it becomes something you decide to sell! Thanks again for the reply!

This could be scaled:

This is a clip designed to hold the smaller diameter filters for my iSpring (123filter.com) reverse osmosis water filter. It works with the 3 post-RO filters: the alkaline filter, UV sterilizer (though no long term data is available about the durability of this clip with the considerable heat...

Look for pvc pipe strap/clamp/hanger. (straps aren't quick release, though) but I know they makes these in at least 4", I'd image there are larger ones out there.

 

[dantimdad]

Those look good as well!

Do you know what size clamp you got your UV sterilizer? The document shows that it is a 3.5" pipe but BRS doesn't seem to have that size available.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

If you need beta testers for the proto type let me know! Or if you are ready to sell that too!

Final design and first production run completed, they turned out great!

Stop with the teasing, where can I get some?

 

[Niche3D]

Tell BRS to hurry up and get them on the site ; ) They received their first delivery this last Tuesday.

Sorry for the late response. I got the 3”. It fits the pipe of the 40w UV just fine.. not cheap.
