Thanks... I actually thought the MasterKleer was clearest, it just doesn't stay that way for long. It turns out, after a week of use the duralene isn't all that clear either (using Pentosin and distilled)... so I don't know what to recommend for remaining clear.Quote:

Very nice review! I just ordered 1/2" and 1/4" Black Tygon from Sidewinder tonight.
That McMasters info has good bend radius data on each Tygon type too.Quote:

Yes, Ranker did us a favor there. Not the easiest to source but seems the best choice currently.
hey jedda which tubing are you using in your build...
I ordered 20ft of masterkleer 7/16 5/8 tubing... from Petra's...
Revival - hey, no shock paddles necessary :D
Most of these tubes are PVC or PVC-based.
What's the general opinion on thick-walled silicone tubing? More elastic, easier
to bend with probably a lower radius and is easier to find than some of these
exotic tubes; not as clear though. Any reasons against them?
Thanks.
Could you do a metric version too? 8/6mm, 10/8mm?
Is it a good bet that the EK NB Acetal block, with it's compression fittings, will also have a problem with my 1/2" Tygon R-3603 tubing?Quote:

Note that the same specifications table is provided on each of the Tygon product pages.

how did I never see this before? Very nice.
It's not stickied, that's why. It should though.:clap:Quote:

I haven't seen this yet either. Another vote for sticky.
I too would love to see an aging comparison, but it would be pretty intensive as I'm sure it has part to do with the coolant used.
So I was just ready to pull the trigger on 10' of some Tygon 3603, but I read through this thread and seems there are some detractors to the 3603. I did notice my masterkleer going cloudy after use and want something that will stay clear, not really worried about bending radius as I have large amounts of room.

Oh man, great work, another reason to love XS :)
Is there any testing of which tubing lets the most uv rays through? I know in my loop, the tygon 3603 is acceptably clear, but it lets VERY LITTLE uv light in unless you are basically touching the tube with the uv light, so all of the uv coolant stuff I bought was a waist of money.
I think that the Koolance blue uv Tubing looks really good (a nice blue crystal clear when unlit, and a nice blue when lit), but it kinks too ez and doesn't stay that clear for too long :(.
UV tests plz then sticky!
