Has anyone try to stretch thermoplastic tubing over the 1/2" mpt pro-flow camlocks? I like the rigidity of the thermoplastic tubing, I bought thin walled silicone and my chugger sucked it shut on the inlet side. I'm now debating on whether to go silicone or thermoplastic.
So to summarize
1. Has anyone incorporated 1/2" thermoplastic tubing with the proflow camlocks? If so how.
2. What silicone is good enough to not shut it self with a pump running wide open? I see midwest has reinforced silcone for $8.99 a foot, but I don't want to spend near that on tubing. Would something like this work? http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=10014
Thanks!
