Title: 3mm pipe fittings?
Post by: Underpressure on December 16, 2009, 01:49:15 pm

Anyone know of a UK supplier of metric pipe fittings.

I need a couple of 3mm threaded fittings and I'm sure one of the garden railway firms must have them, but I can't find them.

I'm looking for something like this: http://www.modellbau-niggel.de/Ver-doppelt-Rohr-3-mm-ST-105-230-i219.html (http://www.modellbau-niggel.de/Ver-doppelt-Rohr-3-mm-ST-105-230-i219.html)

If I have to order them for abroad I will, but this close to Christmas they might take a while to get here.

Too late to delete the thread, so I'll answer my own question.

Don't bother, just thread some 1/8th pipe and use loc n seal to lock it in place (as I don't want to solder).

Simples!

Sorry Neil, I just read this, Swagelok in Avonmouth. Ungodly expensive but jewelry you can hang around your neck...

Thanks, I'll have a look, as the pipe threading was not a complete success.
