LM slant plate take off dimension
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2022 12:52 am
Hi!
I am building a LM/VM 2" slant plate head, with a 28mm-22-15mm VM take off. VM valve is 22mm and the 22-15mm reducer is just before the Liebig.
I am checking for suitable parts for the LM head and i wonder if it is okay to use a 10mm needle valve and 10mm piping for the whole LM take off? I already have a needle valve that is for 10mm piping and here where I live it is almost impossible to find fittings in 6-8mm diameter, but all places carry 10mm as it is a standard size.
10mm is just a little bit larger than 3/8" for you americans
1/4" is about 6,3mm
3/8 is about 9,5mm
Does anyone see any problems arising from this?
Anybody have any experience or advise on the question?
