Charic Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I read somewhere, hoover pipes are a good 1.25" Someone was making an adaptor?? But not many hoover pipes about these days, unless the reclamation centres have anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charic Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Just gotta make sure of the diameters, ie Inside diameter vs. outside diameter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLX200 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It will (should!) say OD (outside diameter) next to the dimension - as in the advert I posted above. It will be accurate to about 0.001" for this type of drawn tube. It may be a bit thick walled, perhaps 16 or 20SWG might be preferable but without knowing the use it is to be put to I cannot advise.ChrisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
