skinny pipe: 1.5" inside
fat pipe: 2" insideThey (ours and Lucky's) have to be the same, don't they? Every piece of pipe i've ever had has been those diameters.

• #254
Dunno, he said outer diameter. You have one, measure it...
-
• #255
Inside diameter changes depending on the class. Outside diameter stays the same (so you can use the same fittings for all classes for a given size).

fact of the day:
ABS is used to make lego bricks, and is also ground down as the colourant in tattoo inks.

Yep, but could that be dependent on material? All the talk above is about ABS, the heads Lucky is making now is HDPE, similiar to the water and gas pipe we use.
Gabes, that's amazing that it's used in tattoo inks. I've known that some tattoo inks are similiar to auto paint, using the same pigments but plastic? Polo mallet plastic? That's creepy.

That's not creepy. It's awesome.

Not too late, what size?
-
• #262
Chan - 2x60mm 5.5" (one single cap and one double cap)
Mike, just to confirm is this the same inside diameter size as the standard yellow abs stuff we have in Manc?
If so, I'll take one more and can i have all 3 single capped so i can still ball joint.
so new order is:
Chan - 3x60mm 5.5" (all single cap)
Can paypal you the funds asap.

I can't say it's the same but the 60mm is similiar to the blue pipe and the yellow pipe we use. You can ball joint with it...
(image is double cap, singles are the same length)

• #264
60mm, 5.5" long, double please.

Alright, the Parisians have beat us to the singles in this batch. They've ordered 26 of them!
Lucky is asking them nicely if they'll swap some singles for doubles to fulfill our order, if they won't then he's going to try to get a second batch done around the 15th June so we have until then to top up the order, making them potentially cheaper for us. Right now it's around £15/head. Last time the postage on 10 heads was $26 - $2.60 each so hopefully we can get that down at least a dollar a head. -

Cheaper is good, and I'm in no rush for them.

Measured a Lucky fat ABS pipe. 2" inside diameter.

So the original order is:
6- 60mm X 5.5" singles
6- 60mm X 5.5" doubles
3- 50mm X 5.5" doublesLucky can do this:
4- 60 X 5.5 singles
2- 60 X 6 singles
6- 60 X 5.5 doubles
3- 50 X 5.5 doublesSo if anybody who ordered a 5.5 inch, single capped head would swap their order for a 6 inch, single capped head, we could go ahead with this. He's not sure when the next batch will come out. They will be £12 a head.

• #273
I'll swap one of mine if you want, half an inch wont make much difference. But i would still like 2 of the 5.5" single caps
-
• #274
Thanks, anybody else?
-
• #275
I'll swap one more, how many others do we need to swap now?
At any rate, the 2 inch pipe Lucky uses is similar size to the skinny grey ABS we have.
