AaronPerkins Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 What size beads work for hose fittings? I have found some 11/0 before but they seem kind of large. Is that the correct size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) 0.04" = 1" in 1/25 scaleMany people like to use 1mm = 1" for 1/25 scale which is very close (1mm = 0.98" in 1/25) Common Bead sizes (beads listed by mm dia are obvious)6/0 = 3.3mm, 8/0 = 2.5mm, 9/0 = 2.2mm, 10/0 = 2.0mm, 11/0 = 1.8mm, 13/0 = 1.5mm, 14/0 = 1.4mm, 15/0 = 1.3mm Common American Wire Gauge sizes (size of the wire, does not include insulation)8 = 0.1285" / 3.264mm, 10 = 0.1019" / 2.588mm, 12 = 0.0808" / 2.053mm, 14 = 0.0641" / 1.628mm, 16 = 0.0508" / 1.291mm, 18 = 0.0403" / 1.024mm, 20 = 0.0320" / 0.812mm, 22 = 0.253 / 0.644mm 24 = 0.0201" / 0.511mm, 28 = 0.0126" / 0.321mm, 30 = 0.01" / 0.255mm Hard to give a specific answer without knowing the size hose you are replicating. Radiator hoses run anywhere from 1.5" -2" on cars up to 3" + on a large truck. Lots of smaller 3/4" to 1" hoses for expansion tanks and accessories (A/C, heater etc).
