6mm Copper Elbow!!!

[moorem]

Does anyone know of where I can get some 6mm 90 degree copper elbows?
End /capillary are my preferred or even solder ring would do.
I've found some on EBay but the supplier wanted over £10 per piece!!!!
I need 10 of them for a project I'm working on.

Thanks for reading.

Aha! Found some 1/4" elbows on Ebay. £7 for 10 units all the way from China with postage included - so I bought 40 of the things. I can afford to wait. Past experience has proven that deliveries from China have been faster than from the USA which was another source but more expensive.
I found one supplier on EBay selling them at nearly £14 a unit so £6.10 per unit would seem cheap!
Not 6mm but I can cope with the 0.014" (14 thou) difference in diameter.

Thanks very much to everyone for your time and comments.

ADMIN, is this forum turning into a forum for racists ?

 

[Dotty]

Don't be silly.

 

[kay-jay]

Don't be silly.

To be honest i think he has a point.
That word represents the kind of ignorance and casual racism that has pervaded our society for too long.

Its common usage does not make it acceptable.

 

[Dotty]

Tell you what. The discussion regarding what is and what is not perceived as racism is for a completely different thread. This one will be getting back on track.

But I will tell you that the very first bona fide Chinese person to complain to me about the word and I will take necessary action. I won't do on the basis of white people's perception of political connectedness.

There will be no more discussion on the matter on this thread. Start a new one if you want.

 

[moorem]

Crikey... where did racism come into it or even raise its ugly head?
I was rather impressed that someone was industrious enough to be able to supply from the other side of the world! I admire that enterprise.
As for what these bends are for... well they are for a heat exchanger I've designed - the condenser coil - in a 3" vertical still called a "Bokabob".
Purely for essential oils of course - but its still a plumbing job so this seemed like the best forum to get best advice
Regards to everyone.

what about using 8mm pipe for the elbow. won't 6mm fit in 8mm? i'm sure tom plumb had a video about adapting microbore

8 into 10.

probably worth checking though

 

[Ermintrude]

Brake pipe flaring tool? Or bend tube opposed to elbow?

 

[moorem]

I don't have an awful lot of space between the coils of the condenser. 15mm centre feed with 3 concentric coils of 6mm pipe with a finished diameter of 72mm which means just a tad under 3mm space between each coil layer.
Im going to start making these to sell so they have to look neat with tight joints and fittings.

Picture? Not looking to compete just interested?
