Title: Brake pipe sizing Post by: simonandjuliet on 15 July, 2013, 02:17:51 PM I need to make up a new brake pipe for the Appia and have been looking to buy the necessaire: pipe, flanging tools etc. (I have the ends - supplied new by the Appia Consortium)
Are 6mm and 1/4 inch copper pipe interchangeable ? Some sites suggest that they are, my calipers suggest not, there being about .4 mm difference. Does it matter ? Is a 6mm flanging tool OK on 1/4 inch pipe etc ...... Any advice gratefully received !
