what size drill for 1/2" pvc

What size drill perfectly fits 1/2" PVC pipe rough a opening, no room to spare.

Assuming it's schedule 40 PVC, the O.D. of 1/2" PVC is 0.840"

Dirty,

Hate to say it but why is that a question for this forum??? There are a few different thicknesses of pvc, take a tape measure measure across, find a drill bit and drill. If there is a little space I'm sure silicone chalking will work fine.

Sorry to be a bitch but I have seen the old timers here ride people hard for "questions" that could be more easily answered elsewhere. This is the first one I have seen where I would be agreeing with the old timers.

We can all help but we can't help you to help yourself.

Well dickhead at least you apologize for being a bitch, look up on Google drill bit for schedule 40 1/2 pvc, let me know how your search turns out. Then goto Lowes and learn they don't sell the bit. Its a very rare size. Also I can't just caulk it up, its for my res and must be removed everyday.

Like most the old fools in life, lose your ego. You'll stop bitching about what people do when you realize how imperfect you are.

Wake up

Can't believe you took the time to be so counter productive and complain about a post.

Thanks for the help meta.

So you want to drill the *exact* size hole to stuff a pvc pipe into, and have it removable.. yet not leak?

The only way I see this happening is by oversizing the hole and using a rubber grommet, but I wouldn't bet my grow on it not leaking.

edit: the best way I've found to put a hole into something plastic is to find a deep well socket that's the perfect size and heat it up with a torch and use that to melt the hole.

Well it won't leak, its for light/semi-air proofing reasons.

I dunno know, your original post didn't say what it was for, just went with what was written in the question. Nothing wrong with my ego here but I will agree that not responding to your post would have been the nice thing to do and for some reason I did otherwise. Once you explained what it was being used for, I get it. Good thoughts to you and next time I come across another question like this post, I'll be sure to cruise on by.

Just drill a hole slightly bigger and use black rubber foam around the pipe for a tight seal.
