Flexy pipe to replace Captube/Pressure Couplers

[MeltedDuron]

I swear i saw Unseen use it on one of his monster cascades to join a presure gauge but can't find it now.

Basicly i want to have the gages off the case, desk mounted on a stand as it would be. Showing high and low presures.

Anyone know of anything that i can use?

I don't want to use my manafold as i want to keep the unit shut but will have an outlet for them!

You can buy such a capilarity tubing with SAE G1/4 threaded nuts, it's made of teflon but I wouldn't recommend it.

Just run capillary to the gauges and braze the capillary to brass fittings. Use loctite to help seal the threads on the fittings.

It's not gonna be that safe or stable though is it, the cap could easyerly be ebnt, criimped or snaped!!

Not easily and not if you coil and stretch...

Never had a problem with that and I have 4 gauges just hanging there from my cascade You can snap any thin hose if you bend it excessively. If you are afraid of bending the cap tube you could always sheath it in something thicker like the stainless steel and bronze we use for suction lines.

or u could run the cap tube through a clear plastic hose like used on pop machines they are some what hard plastic and will kink if u bend it run your cap tube through that then it should never brake less u bend it a hole lot

He meant to cover the captube

It would go over it like a sleeve....

you mean a system like this: http://www.kaeltefischer.de/gomax.0.html
Should be ideal for your application. They are flexible and can be bent lots of times and are absolutely leak-free when they are made with the correct tool.
But not cheap, thats the disadvantage.

I have a Set of these hoses in my workshop: http://www.august123.de/index.php?ga...ageform&page=1

Can You write in public how much exactly it cost ?

@sdumper: yepp, I realize that after rereading the posts.

[yngndrw]

I think the full name is 1/4" SAE if I remember correctly.
