Require easily removable transparent plug for tube. (water resistant)
Present design uses 4" diameter G10 tube. Tube is too thin to add threads.
Tried acrylic plug and AS568A-240 Buena O ring. (1/8" width, 70 durometer) With gland giving minimum compression of O ring, force to install and remove plug was excessive.
Waxed G10 tube, force was still excessive.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Different O ring material or durometer. (Source
for O ring would be appreciated)
Tube material other than G10.
Different design.
Thanks
