I check the Yamiya site occasionally for parts and a while back their site indicated that they had no number pipes but I couldn't find them listed. Then they were for a while and I would look at them and drool and now they're not again. I send them emails but never get answers although I've bought parts and they were always right and fast so I don't really have any complaints. Anyone know what's up with the pipes?

Wonder if the lack of response is the language difference? I know in doing business with other Japanese based companies..that even though they may say they speak English..their staff often just isn't fluent enough to give replies. Haven't done business specifically with Yamiya myself..so don't know if that's the case here.
If you'd like though..my wife's a Japanese/English translator (professionally). If you give me your contact/web/e-mail addresses..I can have her write in "Nihongo" for you..see if it gets you a response. Please keep it brief, simple though (your questions, inquiries)..as my wife doesn't like my volunteering her services for free..but will do it as a courtesy for my friends.
Let me know,
