Silicon Hose

[Blackfish]

Yep. It is great. I can't see mine wearing out anytime soon...

I initially baulked at the price of silicon hose, but I'm happy to tell you "it's worth paying the extra for" it has great insulating qualities, easy to keep clean, no memory, nice thick walls and very inert.
Did I mention it also looks great?

cheers

Sounds like thats the consensus here, thanks for the tip. My extreme tightar$e tendencies have been acting up again lately.

Therefore, let it be proclaimed: "SILICONE IS GOOD!"

wait a minute....

Yep thats what I thought after reading this thread so I headed over to Craftbrewer to check it out and also found Noprene Tubing.

"Sold in 35cm multiples - Formulated for flexural resistance & high temperattures - Does not easily crack or deteriorate even in physically demanding applications. The N0.1 choice for peristaltic pumps..."

so whats the deal with this? is it better then silicon? why would I want to get over/instead of silicone. Has any had any experience with it? Surprisingly a search for Noprene Tubing dosnt bring up anything.

The Neoprene tubing is smaller diameter...

The neoprene is for the peri pump...

im looking at getting some of this silicone hose from mashmaster,what do people mean when they state that its "no memory" is mashmaster the only place that sells this stuff?

Kingy, when you bend silicon hose it will return to its original shape, unlike cheaper tubing which comes on a roll and will hold this shape.

All of the AHB sponsors stock it.
