coiled tubing
at our last regional some teams used coiled pneumatic tubing. Any idea where we can get legal coiled tubing?

Re: coiled tubing
McMaster also sells some. We've successfully used this tubing. If you search the site you can find more colors and lengths.

Re: coiled tubing
yes I think that's what they used. Do you know if it press fits into the FRC supplied npt fittings? Is this tubing FRC legal?

Both are rated for 150psi, so they are FRC legal. |

Re: coiled tubing
Do not cut the tubing on the coils, it is not designed for this and will not properly seat in the fitting. Purchase the appropriate length instead.

Re: coiled tubing
Another source for coiled tubing:
Ships same day, free shipping if you spend over $49. Usually arrives at your place within two days anywhere in the US. If you are close to GA, one day. They provided a $30 coupon in your KOP - use that if you haven't already. |
Re: coiled tubing
Please make sure your tubing is exactly .160 or less and marked with the data on the outside of the tubing. It is not fun to fail inspecion and need to replace all your tubing at the last minute becuase it is 0.001 oversized.
This is one area where I would avoid any possible issues and double check any pneumatic tubing beforehand to make sure it is fully compliant. |

In the situation you describe, was the ID of the tubing marked on the outside of the tubing? If so, what did it read? |
Re: coiled tubing
If you need coiled tubing, please buy it from the sources listed in this thread. I've heated tubing up before (for non-pneumatic use), and it ruins the integrity of the tube. I've also seen teams that created their own coiled tubing that looks very professional, but that's just how it looks. As soon as you apply heat and tension, you compromise the rated pressure of the tube.
Please, just buy coiled tubing that's been rated by the manufactuer rather than saving time and making it yourself. |

Had it been .001 over then I certainly would have advocated that they were allowed to play as is with the LRI at that event. |
