Zoomup's pipes

Chris Pearson

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

  • The copper fitting picture I posted earlier is a tap connector, something I have often seen and used. So I recognised the curve on Z's fitting. I think Z needs to take the fitting apart using WD40 and holding the flange edge in mole grips, then turning the hex nut. Once loosened I think a 8mm brass compression plumbing fitting can just about be used to join the two cut ends of pipe back together, then the fitting remade into the housing. I think it is the only solution, despite dis-similar metals

    There is also the possibility of making adapters and then using standard flares and tube nuts.
