Re: working with spiral pipe
I like the tape as I can slit it and swap out easily. When I was doing piping the Blastgate Co fittings were undersized and inside on both ends. I don't know if that is still the case ( couldn't

Re: working with spiral pipe
I think sheetmetal gauge is based on this, the weight per square foot per inch of thickness. This is why different materials can be different gauge for the same thickness: As the gauge number

Re: working with spiral pipe
Speaking of metal sheet gauges - I just learned a lot on this webpage: https://www.wileymetal.com/why-is-sheet-metal-thickness-measured-in-gauge-and-not-inches/ Reminds me of my upholstery work where

Re: working with spiral pipe
Kevin, I was always curious about smaller number gauge being bigger wire in diameter until I read sometime ago it was due to drawing attempts. 1 gauge was the thickest wire and then it would be

Re: working with spiral pipe
Just as a point of clarification, when discussing sheet metal or wire ¡°gauge¡±, the lower the number the larger (thickness, diameter, etc) the dimension. For example, for bare sheet metal 16ga is

Re: working with spiral pipe
Hi Bird, ¡°Maybe I¡¯ll try something lighter gauge as you suggest, Imran.¡± If by that you mean HVAC fitting to connect then yes. If you mean spiral pipe than that is not what I suggested. I like

Re: working with spiral pipe
I¡¯ve been using spiral pipe since I started woodworking. Your fittings should have a large end and a small end, so you need to be cognizant of which end goes inside vs. outside. On the spiral pipe

Re: working with spiral pipe
I too found the "tolerance" for pipe and fittings a challenge. I ended up getting a tool that crimps the part that slips inside the pipe. The disappointing part of that is you end up with a big
