8 forum posts	I’m tidying up the pipework on a Simplex, most of which is 3/16”. What SWG should I use / is there a minimum recommended? The supplier I’m intending using lists 16, 20 & 22 SWG. GAVIN

8 forum posts	Thanks Jason. I tried searching SWG and a couple of other terms, but obvoiusly not the correct ones.

8 forum posts	Just following up on this, is there any reason not to use annealed copper pipe- it is cheaper than the straight lengths and comes in a coil so longer single lengths?
