Re: [TCML] connecting tubes to make primary

[jhowson4@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I would assume not, 

The aluminum tape in my experience does not make a good enough electrical contact to ensure good conductivity. 

I recomend that you insert a smaller tube into the joint of where you want to connect them and then solder it as you would for water piping in a house. 

Thanks,

Subject: [TCML] connecting tubes to make primary 

Hello. I have two packages of 25ft flexible 1/4 inch copper tubing. 
Is it wise to connect them together with aluminum tape to make the 50 feet of tubing that I need for my primary? 
Are connections ok to have in a primary coil? Or should the wire be constant. 
Thanks!
