Could you please take a pic of that? I can't seem to get my head around how the thin wall pipe carries the screen which is inside the thick walled pipe.
I want to do this setup in the future and would prefer not to cut zip ties either.
Thank you

Hillegom.

I used 3/4 PVC pipe and made rings about 3/8 long of 1" PVC and then Cut about 1/4" of the side wall to form the c shape. Slide the 1" pvc over the 3/4" and done. Simply rotate ring and remove screen.

Hope that helps.
