how can i attach a t-post to my well casing to allow an outlet to be mounted?

Home Improvement Asked on March 24, 2021

There is no ability to drive the post into the ground as there are close gas, water and power lines. Hose clamps don’t seem to be strong enough, nor wire ties.

I could consider a ‘doghouse’ right on top of the well casing but that invites animal and gas buildup issues.

One Answer

This is easy with strut channel such as Unistrut brand.

strut channel

You can attach the strut to the casing with strut pipe clamps. You can get these in just about whatever size you'd need.

strut pipe clamp

These clamp the strut perpendicular to the pipe.

strut and pipe

With two pieces of strut clamped perpendicular to the casing, spaced the same distance of the mounting holes on the box, you have a very solid structure to attach to. You can then use fender washers inside the channel with nuts and bolts to secure the box to the strut.

That will be about bomb proof. It might seem like overkill, but I agree that even heavy duty hose clamp style clamps don't really do it, and this is quick and easy.

Alternately you may be able to use U-bolts to strap the strut to the pipe, depending on the size of the pipe, but I prefer strut pipe clamps. I think you get a secure attachment without stressing the wall of the pipe as much as the U-bolt does.
