You’ll find this stuff in the electrical isle at Lowes or the equivalent. 1 1/4" PVC Box Adapter (x1) sanded down to height 3/4" PVC Coupling (x1) sanded down to height 3/4" to 1/2" PVC Bushing Assemble, drill holes in the Box Adapter, and sew on. Now, the only problem I’m having with it right now is that the hole in the bushing is too big for the hose. I’m thinking a small piece of 1/2" PVC inserted in the bushing may help. ---

I’m thinking a small piece of 1/2" PVC inserted in the bushing may help. What if you just knot the hose inside of the bushing? That looks really great, btw. I was going to try a couple other hardware options, but yours blew them out of the water. ---

That’s a good idea. I folded it over and zip tied it. Worked like a charm! ---

I want to do this too… What heights are you sanding them down to? And what is the best type of hose to buy? ---

Thanks for this, I went to lowes (spent an 20 minutes looking at plumbing PVC before I realized I needed to be in electrical) and made mine last night. I just used electrical tape on the fittings so they tightened up and wont come apart. Looks Awesome!
