Orange pipe in the Moose
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:02 am
Hello!
In my research for "which tube I will put in my wing for the wiring".... some builder have say that in the fastbuild moose, there was a "orange pipe". I am not "MAM", but may be it is IPEX "KITEC" tubing. It is a aluminium pipe with "plastic" inside and outside of it (like a sandwich). It is flexible and it is for use for potable (hot and cold) water. It is a new system without clamp or solder. I do not know what polymer they use. I went to the hardware store, and I bouth one generation older plastic pipe for my airplane. 20' long each, $7.99 ea, and in the litterature they sau it is made from polyethylene. It is white outside and black inside. I have check fot very thin wall aluminium tubing around here and it look very rare... I hope I have made a good choice!
For those who want more info about Kitec. see www.ipex.com (if it is that pipe in your wing!) but orange pipe are a bit rare!!!
