Wondering if anyone has pictures of how you plumbed your gretz pitot tube. Specifically, did you bend your copper tubing or connect your other line to it with a bend or with an elbow fitting? I’m also using the SafeAir tubing so any help on that would be great too.

I used aluminum formed with a bender to bulkhead fittings on the next wing rib - then poly tubing to the wing root.
I got pictures at home - I'll try to get them to you soon,

I don't know if I have any photos, but I used the aluminum tubing
through the wing, poly from wing root to panel. I put a big
strain relief loop in the aluminum next to the pitot, and
connected it, leaving the copper as straight as I could so it
could later be easier to remove the pitot. Strain relief
loops are a good idea with metal tubing.

I put an elbow fitting on mine, I was concerned that if I bent it much it might not pass through the mount very well. The tube is just the right length to put an elbow on the end and have the hose pass through the lightening hole.

I have the exact setup, haven't installed yet though. I am planning an
AN822-4D fitting (Elbow with one pipe thread end) on the end of the
Gretz tube which then connects directly to the Safeair tubing.
Have fun,

Yeah, thanks. I went with that idea and just got my fitting, nut, and
sleeve in today from AS&S. Time to forge ahead with this so I can get the
skins fully riveted on.
