Beware the pipe is free from sharp things. !

the electric cable can be damaged and a electric shock is dangerous.

the sise of the pipe is yours.

i have a small machine to make the thread on the pipe, but at a good hardware store sell them complete in different sises.

Assemble the Pipes and Put the Electic Wire in Place....

use a cable connector(the small white one) where the cable is passing the coupling,

Vase - Pvc Connection...

the connection pvc- cap and vase is done with sillicone paste, a special one whats colorles when dry.

just anny type will do ill think.

also use the silicone paste to glue the fitting against the coupling.

look on the picture's how its done and for te correct place.

Some Decoration If Desired.
