Default 3/8 thick walled steel tube x 3’

Ideally red band suitable for 225psi. Anyone got some odd lengths lying around?

I have heard 3/8" red band pipe is no longer available.

Galvanised is water pipe TBH.

Would hydraulic tube be suitable? That’s usually solid drawn and thick wall.

Try Midland Power & Motion , Daventry and Corby . Their very large catalogue is on line , or just give them a ring . They always gave me good service when I was sorting my engine .
