I measured the tube thickness of the elbow. It is 1.84mm. Is that about same as 16 gauge?
I found a thickness / gauge chart on line. Looks like it would be closer to 13 gauge.
took the calipers to my Greenie fittings
Tank lid elbow (Same/identical as Shane's) is .062"
Couldn't get to the 2.5 to 2 hose connector, but found a straight one (2.5" ) in the parts tub in the garage ...it's a bit thinner at .050"
Yeah - I was getting my gauges confused between steel and aluminum - they're different.
Shane's 1.84 mm (0.072) is pretty close to 13 gauge
Larry's .062 is 'bout 14 gauge and the .050 would be 16 gauge, for aluminum anyways.
I guess I'll see if an aluminum 16 gauge elbow will hold up under use or not....
