Water cooled Base Plate Question

[andy_con]

got a small project on to make a small 150mm square water cooled base plate, what small attachements are there for connecting the hoses?

anyone provide any links?

What size pipe are you using, there is a company called Legris who make all sorts of small push fit type fitting.

[andy_con]

no idea to be honest, its only a small setup so something like 10mm pipes maybe if they exist?

i would rather a screw fit into the base plate and push fit the pipes on

£5 on this goes up the spout...

[tonyaztec]

It is possible to get 4mm copper tubing, 10mm is easy to get hold of, they sell it in B&Q. Or I can send you a length, I think I have 8mm here aswell. But to you would be VERY expensive.
Anyone else it would be cheap

[andy_con]

such a chop briggs, this isnt for me

flexable plastic pipes is whats required.

ok so say i accepted your offer of expensive 8mm piping link me up with a suitable fitting i can mount to the ally base plate?

[tonyaztec]

If your thinking compression, then something along this line,

If I know exactly what you are looking for I'm sure something can be magicked up.

Look up PEX tubing or PEX water pipe.. Newer construction houses are using it. You can pick it up at Lowes or Home depot. It uses what you require. Push on plastic tubing and a variety of connections are aval including screw in.

Problem is Andy, plastic pipe will not conduct heat, or pull it away from the plate as good as copper.

You don't see many car manufactures using plastic fins on there radiators, apart from Clio's
