Rafter Sleeve -10"

The raptor sleeve is effective however it's a very loose fit If it's intended to work with standard 1" EMT conduit. On one end I centered the tubing by wrapping 3/4-in black electrical tape tape to make a tight fit At the leading edge and another wrap of The same tape at about a 8-in shy of flush with the sleeve. I drilled 3/16" holes At 1/3 points in between the two tape bands through the sleeve I injected with the tip on a tube of urethane glue/calking into these three holes and an additional round of caulking to fill the 1/8 gap at the flush point. This process securely fastened the sleeve to one half of the rafter pair The other piece of EMT conduit is loose and I'm still trying to figure a permanent solution to take up the slopp. I've placed less than perfect wraps of the 3/4 electrical tape at the leading edge and near the flush point but it's still leaves a lot of play. I suppose you're well aware that a tighter fit could be achieved with a tubing closer to the OD of the 1" EMT conduit. I'm also aware that this more perfect fit would cost significantly more money and there'd be a lot of pushback on a raise of price I'm sure. So I understand and for the money and little ingenuity on the end users part I think it's a great option and thank you very much.

Great sleeve I used them on my longer rafters and Made packing my rafts away a lot easier / shorter.
