Culvert pipe

[desertdog]

I know you asked about corrugated culverts, but to model non-corrugated cement or steel culverts, I have found that copper plumbing joint connections work well, especially after adding a coat of "concrete" paint, or flat black to resemble metal.  You can buy them at all hardware stores, Home Depot, etc.

I was thinking of that plastic stuff they use to bundle together small wires in harnesses.  As I recall, there's at least one manufacturer that makes kind of black corrugated stuff.  Cable wrap or wiring harness might be a product type to Google for.

The trade name is convoluted tubing. Local hardware store sells it with or with out the sliced side.

cl:

Sometimes called "flexible loom", or "cable loom", or just "loom".  Electrical nonmetallic tubing is also available in 1/2" and 3/4" sizes (which are closer to 3/4 and 1 1/4 ID IIRC).  This is also known as "smurf tube", being a nice smurfy blue.  Unfortunately, the corrugations are squarer than pipe corrugations.

Hey, Tyco made lots of "culvert pipe", remember?  Some of it glowed in the dark!

hehe...... A few years back I walked into the above mentioned hardware store and actually asked for wire loom......received the "deer in the headlights" look....... explained what I was looking for and he took me to the convoluted tubing section......

ain't it great having several names for one item?

If you only need short sections, I use bendy straws. Cut off the part with the corrogations and paint it silver.

Hope it helps.

Hey, that's what I use. As long as the person looking at it doesn't look TOO close it looks pretty good.

Just take some foil and wrap it around  machine screw with the appropriate threads and then unscrew it off.  Instant pipe!

Does anybody know of a product avaiable that I can use for coragated metal culvert pipe?  I remember a article years ago about weathering these types of pipe.  Thanks
