Who is using Tygon Tubing?

Jim · 04-30-2002, 10:10 AM

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?

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

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?

Cool 16 · 04-30-2002, 06:54 PM

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.

Cool 16 · 04-30-2002, 07:01 PM

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

richone · 04-30-2002, 07:33 PM

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...

ECUPirate · 04-30-2002, 07:40 PM

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

richone · 04-30-2002, 08:21 PM

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.

Cool 16 · 05-01-2002, 09:18 PM

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

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

Jim · 05-02-2002, 10:51 AM

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.

Jim · 05-05-2002, 11:52 AM

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.
