CO2 tubing

Post by Jeff120 »

I was looking at changing my tubing on my CO2 setups. I currently use the tubing that came with my Hagen ladder. What do you folks use?

I was looking at US plastics and am not sure what to use. I also found this chart rates the tubing

Here is the link to us plastics tubing- I was thinking maybe the Tygon® Laboratory Tubing R - 3603
http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/catego ... 510&Page=1
Is this the correct size 1/8" I.D. 3/16" O.D. and 1/32" wal

Let me know what you think and maybe if other are looking for some we could do a group order to save some $$[/url]

I just buy the 10 foot vinyl tubing at Home Depot. Works fine and is the correct size for my fittings. Vinyl has the same permeability as Tygone tubing for CO2, and at the pressures we are using it's negligible.
