Altazimuth Mount Assembly

 

On a 3" PVC clean out tee install a 3" PVC 4.5" long piece. Connect a 3” PVC male adapter to this. Install a 3" PVC clean out adapter to a 4" to 3" saddle tee, and screw this onto the 3" PVC male adapter, this being the altitude axis. On the other side of the clean out tee install a 3" PVC 11.5" long piece, and connect to this a 3" to 2" PVC reducer. To the reducer install a 2" to 3/4" PVC  threaded reducer. Screw a 3/4" gal nipple 3" long into the threaded reducer. Put a 4 kilos/8.8 lbs bar bell weight on the 3/4" gal nipple, and install a 3/4" gal cap on the  nipple. The threaded connection of the 3" PVC clean out tee and the male 3" PVC male adapter on the pedestal make up the azimuth axis.
