Places like Home Depot only have cheap vinyl tubing. You can get that to hold you over until you order something online.

Some people use the vinyl all the time.

you could always buy it online and pay for overnight shipping, id say although costly is your best bet

you could always order online and choose the expensive 1-day shipping.

BTW Daddyjaxx: he noted that home depot didnt have it in stock.

You could try Lowes or Ace hardware if its in your area.

EDIT: excuse the repeat... posted a few secs after s random.

I thought he was talking about Clearflex or Tygon. Home Depot doesn't have either of those types.

I have vinyl tubing & it works great for me. I got it from US Plastic Corps. however as most Home Depot stores here in the LA area seem to only have 1/16" wall 1/2" tubing.

Get out your phone book and call around to home depot and lowes near your house. It might be out of stock at one but chance are it will be in stock at another. I've got home depot brand tubing but I will be ordering some tygon R-3603 very soon.

don't bother with tygon - just get clearflex60 & save alot of cash

you could probably drive up do mcmaster's cali. warehouse and pick some up - they have 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD clearflex60 for 68cents/foot (sold under the name Chemical PVC Tubing)

Sometimes your local AutoZone store carries a reasonable Silicone based tubing in several colors, Black, Red Yellow & Blue. I forget the price ATM

Try a local pet store that sells fish stuff. A friend of mine got tubing at a local Pets Unlimited.

Dont' feel too bad about the petstore tubing, a large one near me had 1/2 ID that turned out to be 1/16" wall, and had the charming quality of turning milky white as soon as I got water running through it. :/
