Tube sizes !

12-12-2011, 07:23 PM

I wanted to buy some more hose for my new enolmatic.
10mm ID 15mm OD is the stuff that came with.

Bought 10mm clear tube turns out it is 10mm 3/8 inch

3/8 inch = 9.52 millimetres - this tube is closer 9mm.

Has anyone else bought PVC tube? Real 10mm doesn't seem to exist - should I try 12?

Dip the end of the tube in very hot water, and force it on......should work!

Yeah but... If I do that I am fitting a smaller diameter tube.
So I am decreasing the flow, and hence deceasing the fill time.

Just turn the vacuum up a bit - it'll go like a rocket
