Wanted 16mm O/D ali tube
blockhead_rich - 27/2/06 at 08:33 PM

Hi
Has anyone got an off cut of 16mm outside dia aluminium tube that I could buy? I only need a small amount to finish off my cooling pipes.

Or does anyone know where the best place to get some is in North Essex / Suffolk border?

Cheers

Rich

Rich, why not use some 15mm copper from B&Q?

Just a thought

And you can get it ready chromed for that extra bling!

Yes, but then I can't Tig weld it to my other ali pipe - as I need to create a "T" joint.

What size T do you need? I might have a spare 32mm / 32mm / 16mm going spare with beaded ends Rescued attachment Heater tee.jpg

b&q do ally tube aswell i brought some tonight dont know if there was 16mm though

Raz man
I need 32mm main O/D with the t being 16mm. Sounds like you might have exactly what I need - how much do you want for it? But I may prefer to weld a tee onto the pipe I already have. I'll also check out B&Q - good idea that!

Tent poles can be ali. The swaged end of a 19 mm pole is 16.5 for 50mm.

Camping shops usually sell spares, or I've got one you can have.

You might when I tell you what I paid for them - £20 + vat.

They are nice and shiny though
