What size tubing for lego pneumatics

[technicboi]

Hi forum,

Im purchasing 3rd party hose for my lego pneumatic models, and I'm not sure about the inner diameter that the hoses need in order the properly fit the Lego Pneumatic pieces. 

The smallest industrial size on amazon I could find was 2.5 mm, so would that fit lego pneumatics?

Thanks

It's smaller than that, about 1.5 to 2mm. I've bought some replacement tubing from http://www.blokbricks.com/contents/en-us/d2.html in the past, very good stuff. Can buy long lengths in a variety of colours if needed.

I bought 4mm (outer diameter) tubing a while ago from a local hardware store specializing in plastic products, and it fits perfectly, though it's somewhat softer than the Lego hoses.

Did buy these last year, the same as Lego hose: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000843248465.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.5.76bf7709KVxMSb&algo_pvid=76d355a8-3ad3-4d4d-92af-fb4826c5c8ed&algo_exp_id=76d355a8-3ad3-4d4d-92af-fb4826c5c8ed-2&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"10000009107952793"}&pdp_npi=3%40dis!EUR!1.4!1.08!!!!!%402100b18f16802965632645591d0702!10000009107952793!sea!NL!163161168&curPageLogUid=OLW6P2L3UIKh

Like 2 years ago I bought pneumatic tubes from this place as well, works great.
