source for hydraulic tubing

[torch]

I'm in Ontario, Canada, building a FEL. Where is a good source for steel hydraulic tubing? Princess Auto only carries hose.

You're going to have to check and see if they ship to Canada. Is there a hydraulic repair shop in your area that can source some for you?

McMaster stopped shipping to Canada years ago. Actually, that's not entirely true -- they will continue to ship to existing large commercial customers but they won't ship to individual Canadians. I was hoping to find a Canadian source. I try hunting for a shop if necessary, but figure they will add a percentage for themselves.

Visit your local welding shop, schedule 80 black iron pipe.was commonly used in the good ol days. Think thats what you are after. I have 40ish feet of 1/4" in my junk pile. All you need is a pipe thread die.or get them to make up what you need.
Depending on volume requirements,3/8" steel brake line could suit your needs too. A little small for bigger machines.

Myself, i would weld a section of tubing to boom and run hydraulic hose in it.

Edit:scratch the black iron pipe. Sched 80 doesent even come close to pressure requirement. But a welding shop will have the proper material

These guys were great, had all the weld on fittings and all the right line and clamps to do a nice clean factory look.
