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

  • Now we have the correct picture of the ends, and yes those type do have an O ring but not either of Zooms ends! There should be a solid shoulder of the O ring diameter, and this should match the mating hole inside diameter below the thread. These "flares" are made with a special tool and press, NOT the usual brake pipe type, and this needs a very considerable force, Grahams is hydraulic. I have also seen these ends ready made to standard hydraulic fittings for the repair market, then you can just use a length of flexible hydraulic pipe to connect up.
