Can i buy it from lowes/hardware store?

I was wondering if you can buy clearflex tubing and fittings for my pump(mag 3)at for instances lowes?I dont want to buy from website because i have the worst luck with shipping,and what fittings fit in my pump,goin use 1/2 tubes.Thanks for the help in advance.

1/2" barb X 1/2" NPT Female fitting for output.
1/2" barb X 1/2" NPT Male fitting for suction.

The fitting for the suction end should be plastic. A brass fitting will eventually split the suction port. Brass is ok for the output port.

I doubt Loew's will have any kind of quality tubing. The tubing we use for water cooling is a bit specialized. It's very flexible, but holds its shape so that it doesn't collapse when making tight turns.

i just purchased a 10' piece of 1/2"id 3/4"od vinyl tubing from home depot for $6.50
and it seems pretty flexible.
it may not be the best kind you could get but i think it should serve pretty well. (i hope )

I have the same tubing as magick_man, works great so far... its kinda hard to bend it good, without having many problems.

As they said above the stuff from the hardware store etc doesnt seem to flex as good and hold its shape. I also noticed after about 3+ months of continous use the hose became very hard and lost its "rubbery" feeling. It was basicly in the same shape but hard as a rock.

Don't get the generic vinyl tubing from hardware stores, feel it and try and bend it, if it's very flexible, get it, otherwise it's going to be a pain in the butt to get the block to sit right.
