Co2 tubing

[debaric]

Is this the good tubing for injecting co2? I know there are a few different types, some of which have higher percentages of retaining co2 within the tubing walls:

if the distance between the regulator and tank is small then it doesnt really matter which tubing you use. Its when you starting running yards upon yards is when the loss is great

Looks like it's cool. THey mention that it's to be used with a regulator. I personally have never seen itin clear though. CO2 tubing that I use is green and has sort of an oily residue in it. I was running about 5 feet of tubing between my solenoid and my reactor and was using a 5lb CO2 canister ever 6 months. I switched to CO2 tubing and I now use one tank every year. Big difference in my book! It's cheap!

yea i got this because it said it perfectly fits the milwaukee regulator package which is what i have.

Is it stiffer than usual tubing? It should be stiffer since it's supposed to be made out of PVC instead of silicone.

[debaric]

nope, its really soft and pliable

[avionics30]

Make sure it's not silicone. It'll leak!

At the low pressures we use, any tubing is fine, even silicone.


However, this stuff is great and cheap:


You can use Shore 50A PVC tubing from McMaster-Carr, $0.28 per foot for 50ft or more:

Soft, flexible, and practically 0 co2 permeability at the low pressures we deal with.

I was going to go to a R/C Hobby store and get some Silicone tubing from there, it comes in many different colors :)
