Greetings everyone,
A question if I may, Almost all the pictures I've found showing the plumbing fittings from the vacuum pump to the headstock (excluding the clear reinforced tubing) appears to be brass or copper, I'm not sure which.
My question is if I can use schedule 40 PVC to plumb up the valves, gauge and filter prior to the nipple where the tubing connects and heads toward the lathe?
I'm working to develop a plan before I head out to shop for parts and pieces.
Thanks,
Tim
