Zoomup's pipes

Hived off from the electrical section.

Pitch believed to be 1.5mm.

Pictures. I had to saw through the pipes to get a socket onto the fittings to get them to turn for removal. They were rusted onto the steel pipes

  • wow. OK I'll have to sketch what I imagine it is, as it is not that/ . And then we should ask Z to draw what he actually has.... ;-)


  • OK I thought it would be a re-entrant flare, so that the O ring is cupped and seals to the side of the pipe and to a step at the bottom of the threaded hole it screws into so that the thread and the gap between the bolt and the tube is dry/open to air, but the flare and all the pipe to the right of the ring is wet.  I would not have imagined a double fold on the tube but you may well be right OM.
    So zoom are either of us right, or all wrong ?
