 Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 7:44 pm Post subject: Pitot tube connection to tubing |
 |
|
I have checked out several builders sites to try to see what others are using to connect their heated pitot tube tube that comes out of the unit to the AL tubing in the wing and so far no avail, so I am asking here.
I plan on running the standard AL tubing through the wing to my Gretz pitot. I could flare the CU tube but I think I have heard others say that they have used auto vacume tubing to connect the 2 tubes.
Comments would be appreciated.

It can be done many ways and be fine, but I just ran the aluminum all
the way to the copper from the root, and looped a coil at the end of the
AL tubing as a strain relief. As long as you don't have something
plastic too close to a heated pitot's element, it doesn't matter much,
but you don't want anything chafing the tubing in the wing.
