So, I am told that the first pipe was crimped today.
As the pipe fittings needed modification I have made a pressure test fixture to ensure we do not have any daft failures.
Now on a serious note. I will need the interested parties to have paid me through paypal as a gift by the 3rd of August. That is Wednesday next week.
The reason is, that apart from a huge bill that I will have to cover, I will also be going away from the 6th to the 20th of August. So if you want the pipes before I return, you have to pay and let me know your address. If you can all pay by the weekend, I will have the jiffy bags ready so there is no delay in the delivery to you.
Price as said in earlier threads, is 45 pounds including delivery to UK only.
Team3xh, your extra shipping will be dependent on whether you want a recorded delivery service. This will equate to 10 pounds more I am afraid.
Please contact me on dakar(at)blueyonder.co.uk if you have not already done so.
Here is a picture of the parts I have had to modify to make them compatible with the PTFE pipe.
As many of you may have found, getting 16mm banjoes with a 12mm barb that is suitable for PTFE is nearly impossible. My supplier had to source them in from Germany. They are for rubber type hoses but by machining the sharp edges off, they become suitable for our purpose.
The supplier doing the crimping and supplying the pipe does all the high pressure stuff for my employer and has over 30 year experience. Although he said that he was more than confident in his first articles, I have insisted that they be pressure tested to 3Bar. This is 3 times the pressure the pipes are likely to see.
I have asked the guys to ensure we get 10 pipes done by Tuesday next week. Which means that there should be one more pipe available by then.
Note, there are 5 pipes to follow. These will either be advertised on here as 52 pounds delivered or on ebay for the general public at 55 pounds.
Regards
George
