vacuum tube 3,5mm--->3mm

Hello,

I was thinking to do a vacuum job because I found some 3mm silicone tube. Is the size good enough for small vacuum lines or it would cause to much pressure drop? Thanks!

Read my guide -

3.5mm fits VERY tight, I think 3mm would be a bit too tight.

I doubt there would be any issue with pressure drop.

Why? Because of pressure drop or something else?

Probably due to fit, like I said. There's no issues with pressure drop, don't worry about that at all, that's not an issue with the vacuum lines.
