Reducing 12mm water pipe to a 6mm pipe

[amir.intisar]

Hi guys, i am trying to find some water pipes and reducers on the net, but i am struggling. I have a water chiller which has an 12mm internal diameter(id). This must be attatched to a 6mm (id) imaging device which is being cooled. So basically i need a 12mm - 6mm reducer and the pipes. The pipes need to be like normal flexible hose pipes, but preferably clear. The main thing is that they must be flexible so that they can fit over the male connector of the chiller system. Does anyone know the best way to do this and where i can get the pipes and fittings??.

Thanks !!

Get thee to a fish/pet shop. You want silicone tubing, which is more flexible than PVC, and they should have the various couplings and stuff.

Small cable ties can be invaluable for securing the hoses - wrap several times round, then tie with the aid of pliers.

Aquarium suppliers, homebrew suppliers, model shops, motor factors?

of course eBay: than using 6mm and 12mm tubing you could just make a rubber bung with 6mm ID and 12mm OD, attach that to the 6mm spigot, fit the 12mm hose to it and secure with a jubilee clip.
