how to secure a PVC pipe port?


Recommended Posts

Ok so I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to secure my ports in my box. They are PVC and I don't want any glue or adhesive on the outside of the box. I was thinking of making the holes so that the PVC has a tight fit but I'm not sure how well that would work. Any ideas?

Here's how I do it.

With a double baffle box-

From the back of the baffle make a hole 3/4" deep thats the same size as the outer diameter of the pipe. Then make a hole all the way through thats the same size as the inner diameter of the pipe. Then rough up the pipe with some heavy grit sand paper use some gorilla glue and cram the pipe in the hole from the back. This way its seamless on the baffle and you can use a round over bit to make a little flair.

Single baffle-

Just cut the hole in the baffle the same size as the inner diameter of the pipe and make a MDF ring that fits around the pipe. Glue the ring to the back of the baffle then glue the pipe in.

Edit: it wouldn't hurt to make a MDF ring with the double baffle or multiple rings with the single baffle to get more surface area to glue the pipe to.
