I’m going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I’m currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they’re not great and need replaced (I’m a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better.

I’m assuming the plumbing world would have something like this, but the language of the plumber is arcane and inaccessible to regular goombas like me. What do I type into the search box?

Cheers!

    I made my own. My piston kept sinking on my chair, so I got some 40mm waste pipe I had lying around, cut it to length, then slit it once lengthways.

    I put it over the piston (pulled the pipe wide enough to slide over the piston, not easy, but doable) and wrapped it with duct tape to stop it pinging off.

    It is still there 5 years later.
