Default Shopping for Tygon
What is the cheapest price you have found for 1/2" ID Tygon? Is there a specific product number I should be looking for?

I go to www.mcmaster.com
I just bought clearflex 60 from there, and it shipped it to me in 4 days. Got 12 feet of 1/2" id 5/8" od for $4.08. I think Tygon goes for $2.00 a foot.

They shipped it to my house but I wasn't home, so they left a Purolator note on my door. I then picked it up at a Puralator site and all I paid was $4.08. Take the package and run. I'll probably get a bill for shipping later on. Who knows.

I got the 3/4" OD stuff which was 5233K68. It's pretty nice stuff - of course it's the only tubing I've ever used

For 'Clearflex 60' 1/2"id 5/8"od, 1/16" wall thickness, the part # is 5231K227
The quality is awesome. I'll never go back to vinyl again. Not even if they were giving it away for free.

In my humble opinion, tygon is way over-rated ...

Your need to have silicontubing, those are as kink resistant as tygon and bleed zero to none
Most of the time there much cheaper and easier to come by
Any shop that sells (air)compressortubing has them.

They are talking about the price for CLEARFLEX not TYGON.

Even so that is good enough for me and being that it is 1/16" thick it should handle alot better than this 1/8" Clearflex I have, not to mention at 30 cents a foot....I'll take a hundred please!!!

Probably but I am getting some of that swiftech stuff because I want to make the most hardcore bends I can to shave off inchs of hose length. Only problem is I don't trust that swiftech stuff to hold regular vinyl hose from kinking so the thin clearflex is a happy medium for me, especially at .30 a ft.
