    I was thinking bev44-3 tubing was plasticizer free, but yeah site doesnt say it is, so probably has some plasticizer...though I have never seen it leach...though does yellow slightly over time.

    Anyone ever try, It at least looks clear, unlike tygon 2001, it comes in 3/8 5/8 and 1/2 3/4. Also this tubing has some of lowest water absorption rates. But no tubing is going to bend like tubing with plasticizer, but wonder how 2375 does? Its also expensive.
    Water absorption is 0.04% for both Tygon 2001 and 2375. Tygon 2375 is the successor to Tygon 2075.

    I've learned more about tubing in the past 48 hours then I would have liked to.
