Straight RO tubing source?

[XavierZ06]

Looking for some straight pieces of tube to connect to my dosing tubes so that I can pull from the bottom of the container. To tubing and airline tubing keeps curling and this is the second time I've been dosing air.

Any tips appreciated on where to locate!

Try a search for "rigid plastic tubing". That might yield better results.

You can get the rigid tubing off Amazon. I bought it in 3ft sections and cut it to various needed sizes.

sometimes I will put tubing in boiling water with long tweezers and hold them straight for a while. That usually works.

I got mine from @AVAST Marine . They sell it in 20 inch sections. I have not actually used it yet though, but reviews look good

Amazon is your friend

It sounds like you're wanting a stiff enough tube to sit inside a reactor to pull water without it flexing.

You're not going to want to use the simi-rigid RODI tube. You can substitute that with any polycarbonate, or acrylic tube with the proper outer diameter (OD).

RODI tube has a 1/4" OD and the john guess (push to connect) connectors will accept a ridid tube with the proper OD.

Polyethylene will work in this application.

If you were gluing or solvent welding it to something, it would be a different story.

I bought this one just this weekend for my kalk reservoir.

Hi, what equipment do you use to cut your rigid tubing? I keep cracking mine at the ends, so the sizes are not all the same.
