thanks

Does it have to be 22m m or would 7/8"do? Much easier to find SAE in the states:

Acrylic Extruded Tubing 1/4" to 1 1/4" | U.S. Plastic Corp.

22mm (.8668") is kinda an odd ball size. Can you use 7/8" (.8750") instead?

LOL - Check out what I posted right as you did your post.

Heh, for me the 7/8" is the oddball size

McCaster-Carr has it too I think. Poly-Carb is worth consideration too.

Yeah, guess it all depends if you use mm or inches.

Either way, finding an OD size tubing is usualy harder than finding an ID size. Usually it's the ID that is important. But not allways.

7/8" only about .5mm wider than 22mm. If it's too loose, a slightly fatter o ring would fix it.

Not even .5mm wider. Closer to .25mm if my math is right.

BTW - You might consider using Polypropylene for your tube. It isn't crystal clear but it is translucent. It also is more malleable, easier to cut and very resistant to Chemicals.

Just something to consider.

Blondie, I just looked through clockwork's thread and you need 20mm not 22. It's mentioned several times and seen in the plans. On a side, he talks about going to a larger diameter, but through 12 pages, it hasn't happened yet. Also some alu tubing gets used. If it is 20mm, getting something close in SAE is going to be difficult, 3/4" is 19.05.

Truly, the ID is the important part. 16mm is a bit larger than 5/8" and the way this is made it looks to be quite precise. If you are ordering from him anyhow, it would be good to work out getting some extra tubing included in your package and save yourself the additional hassle down the road.

i emailed the maker and he told me 22mm, maybe thats the newer one he's making now.
