I will as soon as I have something made to show. A pic of a 25 inch piece of 2 inch copper tube isn't much to look at, I'm sure you'll agree?

You have a point there,- I have a spare 52" piece of 54mm Cu pipe, so it must be twice as sexy as yours
But do show us what you build, it sounds interesting.

On the other hand, it has been known for me to dribble a little when looking at a length of copper pipe.

Re: Cleaning old central heating pipes for still build.
So, my planned design is as follows....
From the 54mm tube, a 54mm to 35mm reducing coupler, then a 35mm slow 90 into a 90 street fitting, reducing down to 15mm for the liebig. The outer diamter of the liebig seems very small at 22m, but seems to be the accepted norm. I can't help feeling that a 28mm outer would work better, but what do I know?
As to the length of the liebig, I havn't got that far yet!!

Re: Cleaning old central heating pipes for still build.
I know I asked for a photo....
you've out done yourself there dude..
That fitting looks the dogs doo-dars...well done. column looks ok, if you what to use a bigger outer on the liebig go for it....it'll only mean you'll need less water passing through for it to do the job.
