I'm trying to source Black Foam Tubing to accept 22mm Plastic Tubing .
I have found some here which would do

http://www.component-force.co.uk/en/...206/FG2/prices
but I'd prefer it cheaper if possible as I might want to buy quite a
few lengths .
I had thought of Pipe Insulation but I think the stuff above might be
denser than pipe insulation and grey seems to be the norm for the pipe
stuff and also it is split and I'd prefer it without a split

If anyone knows of a source that would be most helpful.


Hm. I was thinknig that was cheap until I saw the length - 305mm/1'
which makes it close to £12 for 2 metres..

Navitron sells Armaflex in 2m lengths in 3 different wall thicknesses.

About halfway down this page:

http://www.navitron.org.uk/product.php?proID=76

So a 2m length of the thin stuff (19mm wall) is £6.16.

Cheaper than screwfix which works out at £9.98 but you need to buy a
pack of 32!

Armaflex works at higher temperatures which (I'm told) that standard
grey stull melts at...
