16mm Conduit Question.

hey guys just a quick question, with the 16mm conduit is that measured on the inner diameter or outer? becaude i have found one of dads mates who is an electrician and can get me it but do i need 16mm (outer diameter) or 13mm(inner diameter)

16mm UPVC (Electrical conduit) is what you need, that's what it's called at electrical stores. No need to get yourself confused with OD's and ID's.

Although, it is is 16mm OD for future reference.

Thanks, i wasnt quite sure if it was measured the same as pvc, and thought i best ask before purchasing.

UPVC tends to be accurate in measurements while PVC seems to have been measured by a blind man, don't ask me why : )

You will need to test it because some 16mm conduit is to small to be a barrel for Nerf darts.

Definitely take your foam and check the fit.

I bought some 16mm on the weekend and 8/10 I tested were way too loose on the informer blue foam.

I've never experienced a 16mm conduit that was 'too loose'. The worse I've gotten was too tight and perfect sizing. Learning something new everyday... XS

im not stressed about blue foam i only use stock darts, streamline's

Yeah, I haven't experienced 16mm conduit too loose either. It's usually quite a tight fit, that's with the AussieDuct brand anyway, using streamlines.

Same deal, I've tried a few different brands of 16mm conduit, with them all being either a very tight fit, or at least a snug fit.

Cheers,

I use Aussie Duct and its a tight fit, Never had a loose fit.

I've had a good result with Keyplas 16mm from ideal electrical.
