7/16" ID on 1/2" Barbs

[mussafry]

I wanted to go with the Tygon black tubing. Its 7/16" ID and 9/16" OD. The wall is pretty thin. 1/8" Wall. The wall is pretty thin, im just scared the tubing might rip if i put it on the 1/2" barbs.

Is there any chance it will rip?

[twwen2]

Should go on fine (with a little heat), but like RRR said 1/8in isn't very thick, it'll kink pretty quickly.

[gillbot]

Should have gone for the thicker wall stuff.

[NaeKuh]

it wont rip, but you have a TON of different things to worry about.

mostly cavatation, and also kinking.

[gillbot]

Can't the thin wall collapse under suction from the pump?

I couldnt find any Tygon black tubing thicker then this.

Any1 know of any black tubing with thicker walls? 10/16 (5/8") Would be perfect.

I found that with clear tygon, but i really would like something black.

[jkresh]

how about the clear with black feser (that is what i just ordered (7/16 10/16))? Or maybe go to 3/8 5/8 if you need smaller then 1/2 3/4? (Flow loss is not that big so temps shouldn't be that different).

US Plastics has 3/8ID 5/8OD R3400. But it's almost twice as expensive as 1/2OD.

Yeh you guys are right. This tubing totally sucks I cant go from CPU to VGA without it kinking lol. Damn, shouldve asked before i ordered.

Well, what about 1/2ID and 5/8 OD.

Damnit, i really just wanted 7/16" ID so i didnt need to use clamps. I guess i cant >_>

[The Dome]

Yea, I'm using it aswell and its a major pain in the ass to work with.

[Chewbenator]

Eh isnt 1/2ID 5/8OD still 1/8 thick? I used 7/16ID 5/8OD masterkleer on my build and it help up pretty well. But, I couldn't find any black Tygon in that size.

[mussafry]

Is the mesterkleer black? If so! WTB link.

[Chewbenator]

No sorry, but I believe I went with 3/8ID on 1/2 barbs before that, so that could work, but it was almost impossible to get it onto plastic barbs :P

[mussafry]

I guess ima go witgh 1/2" ID 3/4" OD black tubing. But tygon is so expensive. $4 a foot!

however, i found PrimoFlex Pro LRT Black Tubing, its the same thickness, but only $2.25 a foot.

So, is it worth getting the tygon? Or is he primoflex good enough?

The wall thickness isn't 1/8" (3.2mm) but 1/16" (1.6mm)
That's too thin yes, personally I use Tygon 3603 7/16" ID and 5/8" OD (11.1/15.9mm)
Doesn't kink too quickly and fits snugly around 1/2" barbs

Yeh, but its not black >_<

But, why is it 1/16. The OD of the tubing is 9/16. and ID is 7/16 so the wall should be 2/16 = 1/8? No?

Well, it's because that "1/8"" difference is due to the diameter. In the diameter, you have 2 walls of tubing (one on each side), each 1/16" thick.

You forgot to divide by two, it is a diameter

edit: ups, took my time to read, Waterlogged was faster seeing your mistake

[Statts]

It shouldn't rip, but it has a good chance of kinking...

1/8" wall is too thin, IMO...

The 1/2" x 3/4" tubing you mention as being "......FTW" is in fact 1/8" wall thickness. Perhaps you meant to say that 1/16" wall thickness is too thin and will kink......?
