ClearFlex60, same stuff as Tygon, but a heck of a lot cheaper. It's what alot of people use around here.

Third vote for ClearFlex60, after using this it would be hard to use anything else.

See my first post.

You're not going to find it at Home Depot. Mcmaster is a reputable vendor and it's where we all get it from. McMaster calls it "chemical PVC tubing" but it's clearflex60.

As to where to get it, best source I've seen to date is McMaster-Carr. (www.mcmaster.com)

As UberBlue suggested...

It's listed on page 85 of their online catalog, though it's only reffered to as "Chemical PVC Tubing". Just got some from there and it is indeed the Clearflex60 brand, great stuff...and at a great price too.

go to flex products and click on "how to order" to the left, and then click on your state and it will give you any local distributors they have in your state, if you can find one close, they can sell it for as low as (drumrolll) .30 cents a foot!

I'm using a regular 12/16mm hose, that I found in Homedepot (it's "Homecenter" here... anyway it's the same...) It's working great. It's a little rough to band but we manage.
