Q:

advise on hpa line please

I have a really interesting build going and need some hpa line.

I have seen this kind of line in the evanix giant and some other pcp s
some look like copper? some steel.

Anyone know of a source for the line and fittings for hpa?

Kinda sounds familar! 😉

TD, Automotive brake line will work well. It is avaliable in stainless steel. If you don’t mind paying a bit more, they have sticks of it a most auto parts stores. But uauslly already cut to length and fitted with the end fittings. No reason you can’t cut to length, flair and use the fitting they come with. They are already made for very high pressure! :8:

😈 😈 😈

I could regulate to keep excess pressure off the line, but I would prefer a straight pass thru since a reg would exclude shooting the heavy stuff. :4:

Unregulated that is music to my ears :8:

Doug’s link listed some 10-15,000 psi line and fittings.
Looks good will let you guys know how it goes.

Do you have a link to the ebay 10000 psi line you mentioned?

if you stay small in diameter and only use the tubing for the regulated pressure pretty much every material should work.
cheapest to get with fittings may be automotive steel brake line tubing (ebay has some with burst presssure way exceeding 10000 psi)

please let us know more from your project, bullpub condor sounds great, should be much less hold sensitive

Thanks for the info guys. Keep it coming. Cant have to many sources.

The pic is from a build one of the Brazilian guys did.

What Im up to is good bit different. Hope to show it soon. Have to be sure it works first 😎

Oh, my GOD!!

@Tagdagger, if your building what I thing your building, put me down for one (a front bottle Condor that is 🙂 )

McMaster Carr. Stainless tubing.

Make sure you don’t get the one that is hard because it is not weldable.

Maybe tom at shoebox can help yah out
