i've used 1/4" brakeline with steel bbs and it was never accurate. i was hoping there is a place to buy brass pipe in a 4.5mm id.

well have you tried to buy a .144 barrel? I searched in ebay and didn´t found 4.5 ID tubes and personally I have never found one anywhere either...

What "kind" of stainless? ie 304, 316, 440, etc. You need to be able to determine the yield strength of the material...can't find that if you don't know what it is.
What's the outer diameter?
How are you going to secure the ends?

Would it be ok to tap a 1/8" thread through double layered 3/4" copper (type M tubing JFC'd into a 3/4" cap) if I plan to use up to 500 psi?

Uh, JFC'd?
The total wall thickness of those two parts would be just about 1/16"... really not enough thread engagement IMO for a course 1/8" NPT thread.

JFC= just for copper, a chemical bonding thing for copper. I wouldn't tap that small depth. That's only maybe 2 threads to engage.

JustForCopper glue, it supposed to hold like 600 psi. What if I reinforce it with some epoxy?
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 4:31 pm
Surely there's another option? I wouldn't trust the epoxy reinforcement either.

I don't know if you can get to the inside, but I think it you threaded the fitting through and added a sliver of 1/8" coupling and some epoxy on the other side it would be alright.

I guess I could put it in the end of the cap so it'd be easier to reinforce

You can get reducer bushings that have thread in them....they're designed to sweat into copper fittings to attach such things as snifter (schrader) valves...look in the heating section where they have boiler system parts.

The problem is that steel BBs are 4.4mm ID...subterranean wrote:i've used 1/4" brakeline with steel bbs and it was never accurate. i was hoping there is a place to buy brass pipe in a 4.5mm id.

Hey, I was wondering if there is any useful tutorials on the application of liquid epoxy. I have used two part modeling epoxy before but never liquid epoxy and was wondering if there are any particular brands or types I should be leaning towards purchasing.
Any help is really appreciated
