MC master carr. So awhile back my friend ordered us some tubing from mc master carr and I think it was 7/16" But Im not sure what it was made of and all of that jazz. Can anyone link me on the right tubing from mc master carr?

#5233K44 Masterkleer is great stuff for the price
#5114K45 is Tygon - the best there is and a price to match

If you don't need to make a lot of tight bends, the Masterkleer is good, inexpensive tubing. I have used it for over a year now. The Tygon R3603 is very good tubing and is more flexible, but costs a lot more.

If you want the 7/16"ID tubing, you want the #5233K44 tubing that has a 3/32" wall, not the #5233K43 tubing that only has a 1/16" wall. Just realize that you have to put the ends in boiling water or something to get them onto 1/2" barbs. I personally use the 1/2"ID 3/4"OD as I don't mind the bulkier tubing and it is a lot easier to get onto barbs.

Well I've used it before, I know how to get the barbs on. Thats why I was asking for more.

<--- does 3/8" tubing over 1/2" barbs :eek:

thinking about going 7/16" this time around. Last 3 re-does I've used 3/8" over 1/2" barbs, and man is it a pain...

I don't know why you would attempt to use 3/8" over 1/2" barbs. You could break the tubing depending on what tubing you use doing that. 7/16" tubing is bad enough.
