Base for extruded tube !
Base for extruded tube !
(OP)
Folks,
I am looking for a moulded base that would allow a rigid extruded tube to stand vertical. This would be similar to a flag pole base (Pole foot).
The OD of the tube is approx 30mm, 0.5 wall thickness.
I hope to find one 'off the shelf' before I have to approach an injection moulder. Volume is quite high, 20k per annum. I have found some 'end-cap' types but these are unstable. The OD of the base would have to be 150mm or thereabouts.
Appreciate any help.

Any better dimensions on the base, 4 bolt, height, etc.?
The make all types of Al and SS base for railings both for buildings and boats.

They made a product that was a base for aerial displays for a company that made or used fireworks. I believe it was made a material similar to ABS and was made in several sizes to support the cardboard tubes with aerial bombs when firing.
I would have no idea on where to look as all the fireworks are now imported.
