SHEDULE 40 or similar in aluminium??
Turbo Mini Forums

As above really, does it or somthing simlilar exist and does anyone know where i can buy it from??

If you mean aluminium tube there are several suppliers on eBay (just type "aluminium tube" in the top search bar) and there are commercial companies like http://www.metals4u.co.uk/products.asp?Cat_ID=1 or http://www.ukaluminium.co.uk/index.htm that I've used.

However, for historic reasons, the wall thickness is rarely specified as "schedule xx", that is reserved for ferritic tube. With aluminium it's usually in SWG or just a plain measurement.

I actually asked exactly the same question about 18 months ago

http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=220821

and the answer is yes, but........ very limited in choice (esp. in the UK) and the one company Paul quoted and one other I found would not deal in small quantities.

I didn't try the USA one.

So I just ended up using plain tube and fabricating from it.
