No pipe clamps or threaded steel pipe in the UK? information and advice on general building topics, builders merchants, problem builders, DIY Stores etc....

[Jghost]

Doing a bicycle repair stand project. So far I haven't been able to find the essentials. 1/2 inch or 3/4 galvanised steel pipe (threaded). In various sizes. And a pony clamp or pipe clamp like this (1/2 or 3/4) -

Google "rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/DKT7"

What's going on? Seems to be common place in USA. Rutlands in the only uk supplier found but would prefer to buy in real life. Anyone know where I could go for such things? They seem pretty ordinary to me so very disappointed I can't find them.

Cheers folks.

I used to buy my steel pipes and fittings from them.
Most people have changed to copper or plastic.
