Feelers 3 8 ID x 1 2 OD Silicone Tubing Food Grade Pure Silicon Tube High Temp Home

I originally bought this silicone tubing after seeing that people use it as a way to join two pieces of 3D printing filament and it works perfectly for that purpose. The fit is snug and reliable making it easy to splice filament together without worrying about gaps or weak spots. What really impressed me is how well it holds up against heat. I tested it directly with a torch and while it definitely got very hot it never melted or deformed. That kind of durability is exactly what I was hoping for especially since I use it around equipment that naturally runs at higher temperatures. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that the tubing will not suddenly fail in the middle of a project. The quality is excellent all around. The tubing came neatly rolled with no tangles or kinks which made it really easy to cut and use right out of the package. It feels like a true food grade high temperature silicone flexible but strong and without any weird chemical smell. For the price this is absolutely worth it. Whether you are using it for home brewing winemaking DIY projects or in my case 3D printing filament joins it is a versatile product that does exactly what it is supposed to. I am glad I picked this up and will be ordering more when I need it. Read more

Very high quality product and was described exactly as it was. Very fast service. Read more

The media could not be loaded. This tubing was perfect for our pond, worked well for water flow, easy to trim and attach to features, flexible and did not kink when working with it. The price was very reasonable, less than other tubing reviewed and it come available in three sizes and lengths. Read more

This tubing is likely great for its intended purpose, but it's only okay for use on carabiners to reduce wear. Yes, sections of this tubing can be slid onto carabiners and positioned at wear points to reduce metal on metal abrasion. Under body weight loads with nominal movement this application works pretty well when the attached item has a rounded attachment point. It reduces wear there, but that's going to be a low wear situation anyway. Where the tubing gets chewed up is when it comes between a carabiner and a sharper edge –say a rescue pulley. It probably helps some, but not for long. For your home brew use, just don't sample too much of your wares and go swinging from your tubing slung over a metal rafter. Read more

Perfect flexibility for the purpose I used it for without any kinking. Read more

With respect to the 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD Silicone Tubing, Works well for water cooling a PC. The heat range is excellent as is the sealing. I use anti-kink coils to the keep the tubing from kinking. The lifetime is so far excellent; I have systems that have used it for years without leaking, hardening, or loss of flexibility. Silicone tubing is more permeable than other elastomeric tubing so water can more readily escape as a vapor but this happens slowly and can be easily remedied by designed the cooling loop so that the water is easily replenished. I personally prefer soft tubing in PC cooling systems over hard tubing. For one thing it easier to route soft tubing. Also It is not really possible to use quick-disconnect connectors with hard tubing but quick-disconnect connectors work quite well on soft tubing loops and in particular permit much easier maintenance of the cooling system. Hard tubing can be prettier, but soft tubing is far more practical especially for or extreme environments. Read more

Works perfectly for my home made barrel cooler! Read more

Overall ok but kinks really easy which makes things a pain going forward. Read more
