5/16 is the right size. Make sure you are drilling the holes in the middle of the pipe ... draw a line using inprintted writing on the pipe. Worked for me ... nipples fit just fine and no leaks.

I would double check the size of your drill bit. I used a 5/16 and had no problem. If this don't work use a scrap piece of pvc and work your way up in bit sizes until you find one that works. Good luck

the quarter inch size is for ID. 5/16 should be the outside diameter. if you bought quarter inch and it is too big, perhaps you got hosed !

Stephanie, Sorry but I have this tool in Florida and I'm now in NY but I think the hole is smaller than 3/8. Wanda

that's a pretty big hole. you need to go in slower, or increase the speed of the drill

The measurement is what the description says. The hole that u cut is smaller

Sorry if yours doesn't fit, but the screw with mine works fine; you may have been given the wrong size. Also, check that the whole unit is put together correctly as there should be no gaps between parts.

Somewhere in the ad it says to phone 866-876-8073 for help - you might try calling and asking them. I thought I had been given the option for how many holes when I placed my order, but I can't find that info now.

I don't remember off the top of my head what size it is but, when I first got mine I took it to Home Depot and matched it up with the insert part, to the apropreit size hole saw drill bit.

You first need to fund out if the whole where it goes is a 2.5 because. If it is 3.5 it wont work. This one is a 2.5 is small so if your is bigger it wont work..

As close as I am able to measure, the sizes are approximately 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 5.0 mm. I hope that this is of some help to you. I used a digital caliper to attempt to measure the inside hole diameter and then rounded up to the next nearest half mm.

It is not big enough to cover a hole that size. I am not at home to measure but at most it is half the size of what you are looking to do.

My husband measured the bit he will be using to drill the holes for my pulls, and he said it takes a 5/32 drill bit, or if you want the hole a little larger, use 11/64 bit size. Hope this helps!

I can not find a size listed on the drill bit. Sorry for not being any help.

I believe the bolt diameter is 5/16". I had one connector which I drilled out to fit. Other options include attaching a new connector.

You have the right size hole. I had to buy a heavier base because the wind blew over the one I bought - too light weight. I got one that weighs over a 100# at Home Depot.

Don't drill the entire width of the post the same size hole. I used 5/32" dia bit to drill across the post so the .150" dia. galvanize wire can fit trough. Then I used tapped drill bit and drill in about 2" and it will be perfect for the Ferrule to fit in. The bottom of the ferrule is .65" dia. Good luck.
