8mm pipe for bleeding, where can i buy?

Post by mattgt »

Need some 8mm ID pipe for bleeding my system, original Toyota ones are lost in the garage, had a look in a few places today while out shopping but couldnt find any.

Anyone know where i can get some? locally rather than online?

Tryed Screwfix, B&Q, homebase and the aquatics shops but no luck.

B&Q still supply this PVC hose. But it is only available from their 'superstores'

Thanks Dawesy, i got a pair of these the day after you mentioned them and they are perfect, far better even than the standard items, as you say the taps hooked right onto the catch.

Although i am now getting tempted by the home brew kits they had :mrgreen:

Parts Center should stock 8mm regin silicone tube and i believe pts do as well, for a very reasonable price.
Search partscenter.co.uk or ptsplumbing.co.uk for your nearest store.
