REFLECTOR: Oil Line Tubing

[John Tvedte]

I suggested -0 temper.  I'm using Stainless Steel - and have had no problems with bending.  :)

5052 is also much stiffer and at 5/8 would be a real challenge to bend after it is installed through the duct .

I would suggest 5052-0.  It's stronger than 3003-0, and ever so slightly less weight.  In general, due to pressure drop considerations, I would suggest a min. of 5/8"x.035 tubing.

Feel free to contact me offline.

What grade aluminum tubing should I use for oil lines?

Thanks,

John
