Stupid heater tube question
I want to replace my old, fraying orange heater tubes with some sleek black ones.
Can someone link me the right part? Do I need to cut some pipe to spec? I've come up with too many hits via google and I'm not sure which is the right one. ![]()

Try Aircraft Spruce and look for Sceet tubing.

Thanks. Looks like I'll need to measure the diameter.

I have used this for other parts of the heating system. I like it better than the orange or the Aircraft Spruce items. I think 60mm dia is correct for your application (but it never hurts to measure). It is plastic over paper over aluminum foil. Pretty durable compared to the older paper over aluminum.

I ordered from Aircraft Spruce as some have recommended. Works perfectly.

Black over aluminum or brown over aluminum from a supplier in Texas by the name of Z I M S. Have a look.
