Installed pitot plumbing

November 24, 2011 – I got the fittings that I needed to make the plumbing for the pitot tube in the left wing. I am using the SafeAir tubing kit, but I had to get from the connection on the pitot tube to the plastic tubing in the kit. I bent tubing to go from the pitot down through the hole in the rib. I had seen this configuration on someone else’s site, and I liked it.

After I had it cut to fit and flared, I placed the tubing in the wing before I flared the other end. It was a little bit of a tight fit to do the other end, but not really a problem.

Here’s the fitting that came with the SafeAir kit that transitions from rigid tubing to the plastic. The plastic tubing will fit into this connector and go on to the inboard ribs and out into the fuselage.
