What's a good size for PVC to make a homemade tricep dip equalizer such as this one?
None, that's retarded. Get a cheap mig and steel before you break your wrists.

so basically make it out of metal instead or rip my wrists

Yes
What does equaliser mean in this context?

When will the pvc meme stop?
It is not designed for load bearing applications.
If you really want to build this easily then black pipe is much better for loading. For even more durability you can weld it all together after you get it fitted.
Most home stores will cut and thread for little to no cost.
You could use PVC. Would have to fill with concrete thou.
You can buy a dip stand for $50 on Amazon. I don't see how a /diy/ project of this would be cheaper or more fun.

I don't see why this would need welded. If it gets a little loose, screw it in. It ain't like it's for commercial application.

I didnt say it needed to be welded, only that being steel, you could if you wanted to

Use metal pipes instead. It'll cost around $100. PVC stress fatigues and changes with temperatures. They break when you least expect them to break. You can use steel gas pipe. Just thread it together. I suggest using thread tape as it will help you loosen and tighten the pieces should you want to dismantle it.

He may not even need to have it cut. They sell threaded pipe in a shit ton of lengths.

Fill it with cement to give it support.
Cement + pvc is cheaper than welder and steel
Probably wont last a long time but for time being untill you can figure something else out it should work ok.
