Has anyone found a source of supply of this stuff in 3/8" anywhere in Australia? (anything under 1/2" in fact)

I have spent the whole day and come up empty :angry-banghead:

Thanks.

Maybe try RS Components online. :think:

Tried them, no go.

Is that electrical conduit your looking for?

Try here https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourcei ... %20conduit

No, not conduit. It is S.S. tubing to wind a reflux condenser coil out of. It is used for Gas usually, so is water tight.

What are you plans for your condenser idea?

Disregard earlier response, I thought you were looking for something to use to roll the condenser on. I thought copper was the go. I'd imagine that ss would be difficult to roll given its relative hardness.

Cheers

Here is a better view.

You are probably better off getting an annealed roll of copper and forming with that. The stuff is soft and easy to work. I dare say it will be much cheaper too.

Yep, that is option 2 and price might make it option 1 :smile:

I haven't been able to source 3/8th copper down here yet. Still a few places to try though.
Ebay is over $40 for 5M which is way too much length, and way too pricey.

try some A/C places... they may have end bit to shift... i got 10 m 6mm and 10m 9mm for 40 $

Was that Copper or S.S. corrugated?

um, copper... should have said that i guess...

:laughing-rolling:

Thanks Redux, we have one down here, so I'lll try them.

try industrial hose shops or fire pump mobs they sometimes use 1/2 on the heat exchanger lines

Thanks, but 1/2" is too big.

May not be able to buy direct from them but its worth a try. If not, maybe they could put you on to a retailer.

Thanks. I have emailed them, we'll see what happens.
Looks to be just about long enough for the job.

I hope it works out!!!
