Well im about to finish up my external box, but inorder to do so i had to use 4 splicers :eek: and I know that will hinder my flow so im going to be buying more tubing soon. I Have used clearflex but im wondering if there is any thing else compairible that costs less. Hows the stuff from McMaster? I have seen a few people use it but I have never, also what is the correct name for it?

the stuff from Mccaster is about equal to that of clearflex. It usually is clearflex or tygon at cheaper prices, becauses its in larger amounts, usually 25ft.

I'm just building my first WC setup, but I was told that item number 5231K237, page 85 at mcmaster.com is clearflex60. That number is for 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD, but they have many sizes for your needs. That particular one is $.68 a foot. Tygon R-3603 is on that same page.
