3/4" rigid PVC conduit.  Cut a piece 8" long.
Buy the conduit at home depot, lowes or other building supply store.  This
conduit is normally used for electrical wire and is gray in color.
That's all there is to it.

Since 1999 I've given away 289 of these hatch holders, for some reason I've
kept count :)
