It should be in any time, but Tom says it works just as well and I have no

Hi!

Just got an idea, don't they have small hoses for aquarium air pumps
and such? Is that in the range of pneumatics?

I know the model airplane hoses can be used, but they're in some
silicone rubber to withstand the oil and fuel so they are more
expensive then PVC hoses...

I guess the original LEGO hoses is also in silicone for smootheness
and durability but if one want's cheaper hoses?

Just a thought...

That would be interesting; I've also been trying to find a suitable
replacement for the Lego pneumatic tubing that is cheaper for some time now.
You're right about the model airplane tubing though; I went to a store that
sells that and it turned out to be more expensive than Lego's tubing. I
don't know much about the aquarium hoses but it would be very nice if they
fit the Lego air nozzles. I would really like to buy a 100-foot or so roll
of Lego-compatible tubing for $10-$15 USD...

Hi,

does anyone found where to buy LEGO pneumatic compatible silicone hose in
different colors, like red, blue, yellow, etc...?
As far as I measured, compatible hose should have the following measures:
Internal Diameter: 1/16"
External diameter: 5/32"


Thanks,
Fernando
