    A number (probably about 15 - I have not 'excavated' them from the garage yet) of evac tubes manufactured, I believe, by Philips in the 1970s, before they decided not to enter the solar market. The 'ferrule' which posts into the manifold (except there is not a manifold!) looks to be about 11-12mm dia.

    AFAIK they do *not* fit the Navitron or eco-Nomical manifolds.

    No cost - it'd just be nice if someone can use them - but taker collects from S.Yorks.

    I have now started 'excavating', and these will shortly be available:

    ''A number (probably about 15 - I have not 'excavated' them from the garage yet) of evac tubes manufactured, I believe, by Philips in the 1970s, before they decided not to enter the solar market.

    The sooner they go, the better. (I think there are probably 13 or 14).

    Bump...

    Any use to anyone?

    Last 'bump' before they go for scrap - a shame, but I have not done anything with them in nearly 20 years, and probably never will!

    They'd possibly make an interesting garden sculpture, or the basis of a water feature?

    Possibly a rather fragile sculpture, and they are heat-pipe, rather than through-flow, so no orifices! I fear they may be valued more for their copper than for their potential to heat water....
