Van Guard Pipe Carrier

[Jock Spanners]

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious - I recently bought a Van Guard Tube Carrier and I'm really disappointed with it. Quite simply it isn't waterproof. If it rains the tube is soaked the whole length and any copper tube inside is tarnished after only a day or so. Has anyone got the same tube carrier and managed to solve the problem? I fear I'm going to have weigh it in for scrap.

Thanks,

Jock

Oh dear..... not what I want to here. I've just ordered the 3 meter maxi lined pipe carrier. Is your one lined?

I have the rhino, dont have these problems

 

[Jock Spanners]

No. Mine wasn't lined.Perhaps the lined ones don't leak. My old Rhino tube never leaked.

I also have a Rhino one, never leaked...

Mines the rhino 1 to & I don't have any issues with wate getting in.

I have the Van Guard one. (Screwfix by any chance?)

Just been out and pulled mine out (oh er missus) and not a sign of moisture and I'm in Skeg Vegas with sea air, driving wind and rain and I don't drove particularly slow either.

Locks are crap that you get with it but other than that it's sound. IF it was screwfix they will exchange for you no quibble.

I have a Rhino tube. No leaks at all even moved it from my old van to my new van. It is now 6 years old

I spoke to Van Guard and they replaced it with the next model up. It doesn't leak. I'm very impressed with their service - all credit to them.

Glad to hear you got it sorted. Happy days.
