Hi all,

I have these 3 hoses which I think are 4mm pneumatic hoses.

I have put the sizes they correspond to and wanted to check I am correct.

They are soft flexible rubber.

Thanks again for any help.

Guy

I do believe the 40L and the 28L are pneumatic hoses. The 12L could be a classic
soft hose. It depends on the hole size, I think.

Hi Cass,

Thanks for the info. I did wonder about the short one as it has a slightly smaller
hole.

I don't normally deal with this kind of Lego, but they were in a bulk load
of loose I was given, hence needing to ask advice.

Cheers

Remember that they could also have been cut down in length for MOCs or if the
ends have been damaged. I've done it in the past.

Mind you, for MOCs, I have also bought cheap 2mm ID / 4mm OD tubes for fish tanks
that work very well with LEGO pneumatics. And cost about 10p a metre.
