How to connect metric tube with imperial tube?

Kenjutsu · Post by **Kenjutsu** » 18 Jul 2008, 08:52

Please help a noob.

I need to connect 1/4" ID / 3/8" OD tube with 8mm ID / 10mm OD tube. Where do I start?

1/4" = 6.35mm so you will need to get a adapter from 8mm to 6.35mm.

Thanks for the info.

What do I now look for? Where would I find such an adapter?

TIA

Glad I can be of service

If you can't do the math, you can't do anything.

And it would really not make a huge diff if you use either a 8-8 or 6-6 fitting, just use some cable ties to make sure both tubes stay on.

You want to IMPORT this?

Why in the name of anything holy would you want to do that.

Good question

I'll pop in to my friendly HyFlo and get the appropriate barbs
