G'day all,   

Need to order some final bits - what have you guys typically been using to connect the solid (pipe) pitot line to the flexible (tube) line at the wing root??  

Cheers,  

Ron

I have used some black fuel line just big enough to be a fairly tight fit over each.  I use a piece about 3-4 inches long and push both tubes into it until they touch in the middle.  Then I use either safety wire doubled around it over each tube or a small hose clamp to hold it in place.  I don't remember where I got that idea, but it works very well and is easy to do.

I used the clear plastic tube that Aircraft Spruce sells as "pitot tubing".  



This link shows a picture of the tubing I used.

You then can order many different ends here to connect:

If you terminate the  aluminum tube in a flare-to-1/8NPT, you can use this barb adapter from  McMaster-Carr:  5116K301

  

 I use two wraps of .020  safety wire around the nylon tube at the barb.  Seems to be holding well so  far.
