Can someone tell me what size the wee blue pipe under the air pump is?
Also is the compression fitting a normal copper pipe type or is it something special?

 

[tarphenry]

i believe its 6 mm and the fitting is a standard air fitting nut size is 12 mm

It is special heat resistant plastic that is why they cost a bloody fortune.

AAhhh thanks Wammers

I am not sure that that has both unions though
Expensive too for a 6" piece of pipe

Compressor end has a fixed fitting and tube nut the other end uses a tube nut and olive. Told you they were expensive. The nut and olive is around £9.00 from Land rover. They really do know how to pull your eyes out of their sockets with prices.

Perfect thanks
Its the non pump end union I need
I got the pipe at the same time as I got the new pump but it only had the one union
Strange it doesn't come complete and ready to fit

Can you not cut the old pipe to get the tube nut and all you then need is an olive. Measure the pipe od and get olive off Ebay they will be pennies. EG http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-Oli...hash=item2c9754c8e8:m:mzPwhNjTEFuqbjRF5Qr4J1g
