Non-kink tubing...

Mr. Fiddles · 19-September-07, 04:46 PM

I see peoplez be using those plastic rings round their tubing to stop kinks all over the place.

I'm using this:

SP Air - Product Display

Pneumatic equipment, fittings, sensors, hoses, tube, all at Thamesair Ltd, Swindon, Wilts, UK

Wire reinforced vacuum tubing. The wiring is sealed inside the actual PVC, not in the tube, not outside the tube, in the actual rubber itself.

It's pretty awesome, anyone else tried it?

That stuff looks interesting... I just might have to give it a try.

Yeah it's a little tricky pushing it over the barbs, because of the wire in it which keeps tight, but it makes for a very snug fit that wouldn't leak even without jubilees... or... not as likely *cough* I wouldn't recommend it though >.> Jubilees ftw.

It will not kink no matter how far I bend it. It'll double back on itself almost. I got enough for another 2 loops, it's great.

Heavy duty PVC hose with steel wire helix for use on Vacuum but can also be used as delivery hose on water, slurry, chemicals, sewage, granules and compatible chemicals.
