I need to measure to overhead pipes which don't provide a flat surface to target, can it measure to a 1" pipe at 40'?

I would think that if you can sir it on a flat like the floor you should be able to adjust it with slight moves until you hit the pipe and one click will do the job.

It should if you can sit it stable below and adjust until you hit the pipe with the red laser light.

Yes! I have been measuring my boat canopy, which is 23' feet from the water onto a 1" aluminum tube. It will do longer distances, and best if you can do it in the shade or evening. Makes the laser red dot easier to see. What I found was not the fact, would it measure, but can I keep my hand still enough to keep it on target.

There are actually 2 pipes that would need to be extended. I think the outside pipe is around 4" and the inside pipe is around 2". The instructions inside the kit detail how to extend the pipes. Basically, the 2 pipes supplied will need to be replaced with the same type pipe at the longer length needed. The instructions specify the type of pipe that can be used....but schedule 40 pvc can't be used.

Using a 1 inch schedule 40 pvc pipe for output, I was able to go 20 ft out and 48 inches up without any problems.

not that I detect. It's just effectively another couple inches, and angles, of pipe.

I used an 1" diameter 6 feet long piece of mast pipe on a try pod on my roof, that use to be for a dish system. mine works great.

Yes, it can, just tried it. Spec is for 30ft. Very handy for the floor tiles. Will be using for wall tiles also soon. Handy for framing pictures too. Has leveler as well. Does not have the degree measurement though.

The instructions state that the farther away you are, the larger the area will be that you are measuring. In my house I read the hvac registrars in an 8 ft ceiling no problem. But if it's a precision reading you are looking for (ie temp of a small area) it may not be best. I would think all hand helds would have the same issue though.

Inside length is 41", so I don't know. It will be close. I wouldn't do it because you only have 1" extra but it's up to you. The scope issue is no problem. Good luck.

I think so but I am not sure. Try a little on a test piece , set it out in the weather for a few days / weeks depending on the urgency of your project and see what happens. It wouldn't take a lot of material to do the test. The test piece should only be about one square inch.

I don't think so, because this unit is not designed for that purpose, in my case I need to measure surface only.

No, it needs to be a complete unit you might try tighter wraps around the pipe to make up for the extra length. I bought 3 foot one from a local mobile home for use on my home and I'm using the longer one on the barn.

Looks like the clearance is about 4 3/8" from top of curve to pipe center. Your clearance should be just enough.

You can measure ceiling heights with the distance meter. It is not recommended to be used outdoors.

The 1 or 2 inch will work fine. I took 2 pieces of 1 inch pipe, straight ends, taped them together with this, and after 10 minutes did pull-up with the pipe and I weigh 250 pounds. This is awesome stuff, just follow the direction

I mounted mine on a 3/4" PVC pipe. It's mounted in the attic so PVC should be fine for that application. I don't think it would accept a much larger pipe

I wouldn't recommend buying this set up, but if you do it might work as long as the pipe your attaching it to is no bigger then an inch an a quarter (1.25")

I just re-measured mine and the dimensions are very accurate. It does have some flexibility, but being plastic- not rubber it can be 'bent' a little to accomodate a pipe. It could also be easily trimmed to go around a pipe , and then caulked to preserve its function. Wonder why the morons at HD and Lowes don't sell it.
