Tubing

[Gears]

I have a quick question - What tubing does everyone recommend? I have used both Tygon (various) and Primochill Advanced LRT. I have always run into plasticizers.

Mayhems tubing is mega cheap on overclockers, something like £1.69 per metre for 16/19mm. Seeing as it's usually Mayhems coolants that can be funny about tubing material, it makes sense to use their tubing if you plan to use their coolant. EK and most of the other big watercooling component suppliers all have their own range of tubing, so match the tubing and coolant companies and you'll be laughing.

Straight distilled + silver here. No need for any coolant. I thought about using the new glass tubing, but looks like a pain to cut.

Personally I like Acrylic (shakmods) and EK-ZMT on both aesthetic and pragmatic grounds.

Thanks for the info. I see shakmods has sleeving. Wonder if I can find that in the US.

I'm using Primochill acrylic and a bit f Primochill advanced LRT in the bottom for the bits that were too tight and dont show anyway. I'm running plain distilled with PtNuke and silver and haven't run into any problems.
