PVC Hose & Tubing
Let me get it straight. You asked what size of tubing you need, but did not ask what type of tubing was recommended? I would get back to the company on that.I need to know what type of tubing to buy for cooling the water-cooled spindle I have ordered. I contacted Probotix and they told I need 1/4"ID 5/16"OD with 1/32" wall thickness. What I need is recommendations for what material type I should be looking for. Thanks in advance for any replies.
Theo it's more fun to ask that question here. Besides this is (his or hers) first post.Let me get it straight. You asked what size of tubing you need, but did not ask what type of tubing was recommended? I would get back to the company on that.
Thank youBy the way Rider welcome to the forum.
Try an aquarium store or supply on internet. I think you can get all power levels in that kind of pump, and they are designed for very long life. Some are submersible but not all. You can also get inline filters, but you might want to find some chemical that isn't harmful to the pump, tubing or spindles cooling system, but will suppress algae. For long runs, that fluid is going to gradually warm up.I'm going to rekindle this thread. I have a 1.5KW water cooled spindle and I use 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD vinyl hose for coolant flow. Both the hot and cold hose route along my wires in both X and Y axis inside my drag chain. The smallest radius bend is ~4-5". I am going to place a tank underneath my router table and have already purchased a submersible pump. However, I noticed that just blowing into each of the tubes requires a lot of pressure. What type of pump is preferred? Thanks guys!
