Would this tubing be appropriate for use from pot to new plate chiller? Would be used with soon to be ordered new ss qds.

That's high quality stuff....not sure about that thickness but all silicone will kink if you don't use some kind of strain relief like a 90 degree QD. If you found a deal (cheaper than the online HB suppliers), I'd get it....platinum cured is lab quality.

Thanks for the reply.
Kinda got hosed a bit on the shipping, so it was 2.50 a ft w/ shipping all the way from NC to VA.
Still in the realm of decent deal if it's good quality, I hope.

Keep an eye on ebay for the stuff... I bought some of the same exact spec you listed for $.38/ft shipped! Haven't seen any more 1/2" lately, but just something to keep in mind.
