Tubing for CO2

[Star_Rider]

DOH!! :duh:

I was thinking blue-silicone but actually you can get flexible CO2 rated tubing(it also come in black and green)

Check out this chart to see the permeability on different tubing. Polyurethane is a great choice. Silicon and standard airline tubing will work, but leak CO2 like crazy.

John, where did you get your tubing and what type is it? I'm looking for the best price on quantity because I'm going to over haul all my lines in the near future.
The stuff is not cheap.

I use polyurethene. For a small amount, MarineDepot (link is few posts up) is fine. If you want to buy bulk and have a lifetime supply then Clippard is a good choice.

My buddy rex can get it cheap if you care...as I said in my previous post...
IMO Clippard is the best

I just ordered this today from a local Clippard distributor. Clippard Polyurethane - a 50' roll for $8.43.
I've always been a believer in Clippard. Bought my original needle valves from them way back when......
Very pleased with the price.

Wow, not bad at all!

How did you get a list of the Clippard distributors?

 

[djlen]

If you go to the site, on their home page there is an area to type in your zip code. They will then give you a list of distributors closest to you.
Much cheaper than buying on line cause they charge for shipping and also 'handling' when you buy on line. I'll have to pay tax, but it'll be only a couple of dollars extra.
I've bought needle valves there as well, at good prices.
