GUIDE: Mounting the PA160 in a PC61 - 56k beware - Page 2

Just realised your quite near to me marci, hadnt realised... Your just up north 30miles from me... guess where I am

Oh can I just ask what difference you would see between 1/2 and 5/8? I mean increased flow but surely that puts more of a dependance on high flow components?

While I think about it, does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that stocks 5/8" barbs? I've been looking all over the shop for them and can't find any

what thread size? I have sources for 1/2" BSP to 5/8" Hose, but not 3/8" BSP...

airlines has 3/8" BSPP and most other barbs..

3x 3/8" BSP (have two already got of a forum, need another three)
1x 1/4" BSP
1x 5/8" ID tube tee line

Final edit: Have gone through the airlines site properly, and they do have what I'm looking for.
3/8" BSP barbs in 16mm OD (near as dammit 5/8") are part number 112328
5/8" tee line is part number 111113
No sign of 1/4" BSP, but to be honest I wasn't expecting any - I can live with 1/2" fittings for this one.

http://www.airlines-pneumatics.co.uk...ctCode=S010142 is the barbs page.

hmm - that link seems to be for BSPT fittings (and nickel plated - don't know how that mixes with other metals? silver??) - they don't have BSPP beyond 13mm... (in any material...)

Copper/Nickel is about as bad as copper/brass. Even nickel/brass is rated as being OK for harsh environments. Nickel/silver is maybe getting a bit dodgy though, but again not as bad as copper/silver.

In any case, they're presumably electroplated - in which case the mass of nickel in the system will be tiny. At worst they're only going to strip the plating off the barbs (probably reacting with the barbs themselves actually).

so it's just the problem(s) of Tapered Barbs in a Parallel hole then .....

Yeah, and I suspect that one won't be too bad in practice either. Probably just needs a bit of care...

Four 5.25" bays stretch quite far, if you know how:

This is two (slot-loading) CD devices, a floppy, a multi-media card reader, and two HDDs. And there is room left for an LCD and fanbus if you want.
