[TPIN] A request for help, please?

[dave mcgranahan]

Any decent hardware store will have them, in the
plumbing section, in more sizes than you ever knew
existed. Take the slide with you, and find an old guy
with a vest to help you rather than some high school
kid.  You want the minimum available wall thickness,
and an ID that has to be stretched slightly to fit, or
it won't stay in place.  

Good luck-
Dave
