OK I read somewhere on here that 1/2 pipe will fit marbles. It seems it is wrong. I now have 15mm pipe and not 16mm and have to buy ammo for it. So where did I go wrong? Is it 3/4 instead?

Depends what type of marbles. The most common ones are too small for 15mm pressure PVC (paintball type) yet are too big for 10mm copper

Meh... in the UK the marbles we have are about 15mm so they're too big for the pipe

My standard marble (seeing as I have nearly 2 kg of em) is 16mm.

i bought some 15mm pressure pvc from total eden and it fits marbles from Toyworld PERFECTLY (takes 5 secs to get 1m down barel). Thebag of marbles said they were 16mm but they must of been infact less than 15mm.

I dont know if that helps but yea, you should be able to find some pipe that will work

pS: hows that forum going Twitch? *cougheveryonejoin*

The pipe's nominal diameter is 15mm, it's true diameter is much different.

e.g 50mm pressure pipe has a real I.D Of around 65mm.

oh well, the point is 15mm pvc pipe fits 16mm marbles perfectly lol

Over here on good solid earth soil, specifically the UK, 50mm pressure pipe has an ID of 40mm.

yea now i think about it, when i was carrying home my parts for my gb gun my 40mm barrel fitted in my 50mm pipe with little to spare, so MRC u gots some weird ass pipe

1/2 inch metal conduit fits standard marbles very well[/img]

Well 40mm pressure rated PVC has an I.D of about 45mm, add about 5mm for thickness you get 50mm O.D.

Since we import/co-own the same pipe as you Aussies, your 50mm pipe and 40mm pipe is exactly the same to ours.

There is no way 40mm golfball pipe would fit in 50mm pressure pipe, because Hotwired said 50mm I.D is 40mm.

A golfball has a diameter of 44mm, so that mean your 40mm must also have a 45mm I.D, therefore it simply can't fit, I think HotWired has the weird ass pipe.

So I don't have weird pipe, all pressure rated pipe should be very similar no matter where you go.

You sure that soil pipe is pressure rated HotWired? DWV has very different I.D's and O.D's to pressure pipe.

a golf ball wil not not fit standard 1 1/2 sch 40 pipe, but a golf ball will fit in 1 1/2 sch 40 sdr 21 pipe, they both have the same outer dia. . but the inner dia, is different,

We're talking about Metric pipe, not American.

Pressure Rated 40mm pipe will fit golfballs here, because we have a larger I.D, but the O.D reamins the same as your 1.5" pipe.

if a golfball will not fit in 1 1/2 sch 40 then what makes you think that it will fit in a 1 1/2 "sch40 sdr21" there is no such think. sch is the wall thickness there buddy. so sch 40 is sch 40. sdr 21 is sch200. that is why a golfball fits because the wall thickness is less than sch40 making the ID bigger.
