Question 1

The wall thickness is .0625”    ...if the od is .375” and the id is .250” that means the combined wall thickness across the tube is .125”, correct?

Accepted Answer

You’re correct...

.0625 (left wall) + .250 (ID) + .0625 (right wall) = .375 (OD)

...people are forgetting that 2 walls impact difference between ID and OD.  So that .125 needs divided by 2 as you said.

Question 2

Is this a 3/8" OD coil, w/ 1/8" ID?  OD is critical, ID is not so much.  Wall thickness 0.20  Yes?

Accepted Answer

The coils we sale are 3/8" OD x 1/4" ID  Wall Thickness 1/8" or .1250

Question 3

I’m trying to make a pool heater. How much heat can this take?

Accepted Answer

Fair to good amount of heat depending on the application you intend to use to heat the water running thru it.  I wouldn't put it in a fire pit and then try to circulate water thru it,  lol.  In my Herms set-up I run 212* through it when cleaning the one I use as a my wort chiller  but in my mash-tun I use it to circulate water ~ 152*  + or -  1-10*  through the grain to hold my grain at temp depending on the style of beer I'm making .  Unless you're worried about sanitation, I'd urge you to use COPPER and larger diameter tubing. Cheaper tubing, cheaper fittings and a larger dia. would be more efficient heating a larger amount of water.  No idea what size pool you're trying to heat but if it's more than 20 gallons  (my brewpot & mash-tun size) you might be waiting for a while....

Question 4

What is the wall thickness of this tubing?

Accepted Answer

I do not have the specific specifications but it is very rigid tubing, it can be bent but it takes quite a bit of effort...  We use these with a flexible tube to connect the coil to the tap.
