those r going to get a bit expensive dont you think?
but whatever....i think you should go with .68... but tery 1/2 cpvc....ill go find the inside diameter..
edit...yea thats what i thought...
its goign to be a little big but here is the closest fitting pipe i could find(1/2 cpvc)
and its 0.469" id

Here are some choices from McMaster Carr
36" barrel (Part #8978K143): $6.29
72" barrel (Part #8978K595): $9.71
Both of these barrels have an ID of .43", and an OD of .5". A perfect barrel.
Make sure to buy a compression fittings (part #50915K328, for $3.17, will work perfectly. It has 1/2" NPTF threads)
