Who is using Tygon Tubing?
 

Who installed Tygon tubing?
How is it working out?
Did you use 1000 or 3603?
Did you get 1/8" wall size or 3/32"?

Lastly where do we get it?

Jim

i used it Jim...its looks great(pics coming when i can get my camera back fom my nephew)..but i got the 3630 in a 1/16 wall...i would go for the 1/8 wall if i had it to do over....the 1/16 wall kinks to easy.i havent used silicon for a puter but i have used it for fuel tubing in model airplanes so i know that its not very pleasing to the eye and its sticky to...i have my tygon over a 5/8 barb but man its tight but it will go.

i ordered mine from mcmaster carr

Up A N-
Hurry up we need you camera here! LOL :D

I don't care much about how silicon looks, but the smell is killing me. I had to wrap it in plastic saran wrap to keep my sinus clear! Also I think it sucks the Water Wetter out of the fluid.

Where did you get your Tygon?
thanks
Jim

I got the 3/8 thick wall from Us plastics. It came in only 2 days Ups ground! I will be using in the next few days. You should see pictures of my rig soon at the [H] and here.

Hey Cool 16 we live in the same area where is US plastics and would you have a link please?
Jim

Here is the link to the page. I got the 3/8" id 5/8" od. Don't get 1/16" wall. Mine will do really tight bends without kinking.

That link was too long. Try www.usplastic.com and look under the tubing section. Lmk if you can't find it.

I have the 3/8id 5/8od 1/8wall tygon. It works well in my system. No pics yet, but so far my tubes have not turned red from the dye I use...

hey man, start another thread regarding that dye. I'd like input from others... see if it's safe for our systems...

Done...

Thanks Cool 16, I ordered some 3803 (I think it is) 1/8 thick 1/2" ID today.

Change over this weekend if it arrives by Friday.
Jim

Np. Wouldn't it be 3603? Thats what I ordered.

If you are in the area and do Lan partys check out http://www.midwestfrag.org/ I have been to all of them but one. Great fun and I should have my new woody there :D

Yeah 3603 .

Jim

got a pic up of my tygon tubing...its 1/16 wall though...wouldnt do that again...but it works fine...its just to flimsy for my liking

All right!
Just got my tracking number from US Plastics, Tygon should arrive tomorrow.

Great, this weekend I can convert to Tygon and most likely back to the dependable Maze2.

Update: Temps in my rig with Maze 3 vs. Maze 2 are identical using the same Sandra burn in for one hour at 72F, 37C high temp with either water block.

what's the matter with that food/beverage tubing from usplastic.com? B-44-4X & B-44-3 .... they have a higher durometer rating, but that's the only diff. I can tell. It's cheaper, too.

ECU-
I considered getting the B44 but something I read about the 3603 being chemical resistant steered me to choosing it over the beverage grade.

I figured with only 10 feet being purchased the extra money was no big deal.
