So I am going to build a nest with a nest from AntKit UK and their Nest connector which is large 13mm I need but they ran out of stock so now on Amazon I'm taking a look would the size 12-15 be good or should i get 13-17mm. 

 

Thanks in advance

You could connect a smaller tube and fill the gap with mounting putty. I don’t fully understand your question, though. Some pictures would help.

Okay so a nest from Antkit is currently shipping with a ‘large’ connection it says on the site which is 13mm





Now I was wondering will a tube with these dimensions fit

That could work, but it may be better to take your nest to the hardware store and test what tubing fits best.

The Ø Indicates outside diameter but you need the inside diameter measurement, is it listed anywhere else on the amazon posting?

I have decided to do it irl since buying it on amazon it provides really poor shipping prices and I want to be sure it works

14/12mm (outside/inside) tubing fits onto those 13mm adapters. If you have trouble stick the end of the tubing into hot water for around 10 seconds so it gets hot and wobbly.

That's how I got 14/12 tubing onto 13mm antkit adapters and 18/14 tubing into 10-16mm cable glands (and 14/12mm tubing into the 12mm holes I drilled into my Ikea Godmorgon boxes).
