Teflon tubing?

fameless · 01-16-2004, 09:02 PM

How would teflon tubing found here work in a water cooled system? Should I just stick with tygon or clearflex? Thanks.

It would work, though it's not transparent and pretty expensive. I'm not really sure what'd you gain over tygon, which is half the price.

Looks like it might be overly stiff as well compared to Tygon.

yeah, i had noticed that. i was thinking that the characteristics of teflon would help water flow. just a thought.

mcmaster-carr do a teflon coated tygon tube with might be better. One of the nice things about it is teflon is almost compeltely chemically inert. You can run almost anything you like through the lines without any problems. The downside is it's really expensive.
