i'm just about done with all of the purchases for my new rig, the only thing i have a question left is the tubing.. i need to get 10 feet of tubing, to have 2 5 foot lengths for either side of my pump.. i hadn't heard of tygon tubing before, has anybody used it as a cheaper alternative to silicone.. here are 2 links to amazon.com
Tygon Tubing
here is 10 feet of 1/2" ID 1/8" Wall Tygon tubing.. it is rated up to 250 degrees and costs $26.60.. and is fda approved
Silicone Tubing
here is 10 feet of 1/2" ID 1/8" Wall Silicone tubing.. it is rated up to 500 degrees and costs $35.07.. also fda approved
is there any reason to go with silicone? will that hold up better in the long run? has anybody had any experience with using this during the brewing process, i thought i read about it being used for beer lines.. i know its only $10 different, but was curious about the difference in products.. thanks!
