Tubing for Adafruit Solenoid Valve

Hello Core!
I was wondering - does any of your pvc tubing in stock fit this solenoid valve? If not, what pvc tubing would you recommend? I’m guessing 15mm but I’m not very confident!

Best Wishes

Hi Megan
The description foe this unit says 1/2 inch, 12.7mm

Thank you Bob!
I just wasn’t sure because it’s nominal pipe sizing and also it could be the measurement of the thread rather than the tube it’s compatible with. I’ll give a 13mm tube a go.

Hi Megan
You are right. It is 1/2 inch NPS thread (non tapered). Not exactly sure how a pipe is terminated. Probably a nut and an olive that goes on the pipe. A bit sloppy really that the nuts and olives, or at least the nuts are not supplied with the unit. You will need them especially if the pipe has substantial water pressure. As I think this is a plumbing thread Tradelink or Reese or other plumbers suppliers would be your best bet.
