Hey Caleb,
I built a similar choke on some square pvc type tubing and it worked very well until I got a little carried away one night and ran it around a hour which softened the tube which bound on the core. I purchased some square fiberglass tubing to replace the plastic one from Mc Master Carr. I'm not sure how the square core will react in a round tube, with all the pulsing it might bounce around unless you have it secured.

Subject: [TCML] Making a slide choke.
I am going to build a slide choke for my tc, but I have a few questions. I
have 500 ft of 10 awg thhn and a square core 2×2×16 made of 86 sheets of
steel. My question is, how much space needs to be between the core and the
coil? And can the coil be on pvc even though the core is square or should
the coil conform to the core? And input will help, thanks.
