PVC End Cap

PVC End Cap -- One for each kaleidoscope

Description:
1-1/2inch PVC Socket End Cap (schedule 40, white)

Material Supplier:
Local plumbing supplier.  These end caps are manufactured in a number of styles.  I prefer the ones with a rounded end, although those with a flat end will work as well.  The best manufacturer I have seen is Spears.  The cost of these varies significantly depending on the source.  In 2004, we have paid between $.25 to $.50 per piece.

Preparation:
First:  Drill a 3/8 inch hole into the center of each end cap.  I have a fixture for centering the hole, but a paper or cardboard pattern might work as well.
Second:  If needed, clean the end caps before distribution to children.
