momoceio Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Just get a heat gun and heat it up...it becomes soft and slips over the barbs much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkicker Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Cheap stuff from home depot. nice and clear and bends just fine. I don't think my Dangerden parts can tell the diff. Between the cheap and the expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoetuS Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I read alot about how the 7/16" tubing is a real classy lady to get on the barbs & even more difficult to get back off. the only problem I have with it is getting it on the plastic barbs like the T line & barbs on my Storm. And even then warming the tube up makes it a lot easier. I recently read a nice tip that I will be trying next time I redo mine or do another - Putting a small amount of KY Jelly on the barb to make tube slip on easier... However.... I have never used 1/2" tubing. I might try it & turn around and say "What the hell was I doing all that time messing with 7/16"!?!?" I am using the 7/16" Masterkleer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

momoceio Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Looks like the black tubing they had at home depot....not sure if it's Tygon or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken Joe Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Masterkleer 7/8 is cheap and saves a lot of hassle for me. I have tried the home depo stuff but the Masterkleer is just as cheap and works as well if not better than tygon except for supeer tight bends. Get some hot water and it goes on easaly it also dosnt tend to stretch over time like some do including tygon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
politbureau Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 True dat, but I got black tubing :cool:Black Tygon is the bomb... I bought 50' off ebay for $20 a while ago from this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=290083757220 Keep an eye on his auctions. They're all listed as "Buy-it-now" for $59.99, but they regularly go for $10-30. A smoking great deal, and it looks HAWT.
