Model: Silicone - $2.39 /ft + Discounts for longer lengths
NEW: Extruded in the USA.
BrewHardware.com recommends silicone tubing for all your fluid transfer needs. This extremely flexible tubing is FDA rated for food contact up to 400F and doesn't melt until 500F. The inside diameter is 1/2" and the wall thickness is 1/8" for a total OD of 3/4".
Why not use the clear reinforced PVC from Lowes? Go ahead and hack off a 2" piece and steep it in some boiling water. Let the water cool and give it a taste.
When doing price comparisons, be sure to look at 1/8" wall thickness tubing as it is much less prone to kinking when full of liquid. Our new supply comes from a local extruder who uses DOW raw silicone. This formula is dairy-grade FDA tubing which is almost clear and more firm than most tubing sold to homebrewers. However, it remains flexible enough to fit over 1/2, 5/8, or even 3/4" hose barbs (or over 1/2" NPT threads). How clear is our new stock of tubing compared to the competition?
Brewhardware's stock is shown on the left and the piece on the right represents the typical silicone tubing imported from China. If you can read through 1/4" of tubing, you know that you'll be able to see air in the line as well as an idea of wort clarity when vorlaufing, etc. This image is not doctored or photoshopped in any way. If you can find this level of quality somewhere else for less, let us know and we'll beat it.

BY THE FOOT $2.39 per foot:
When you add this item to the cart, it will default to a quantity of one meaning you will pay for one foot of tubing. Please change the quantity to order longer lengths. A quantity of 25 will get you a continuous length of 25 feet of tubing. Our stock lengths are 100 feet so if you exceed this length, the exess will come as a separate piece.
100' BULK PACK, $200 including shipping. If you can get a few friends together for a group buy, you can save a bunch by getting a bulk box of 100 feet by clicking the button below. This price includes the shipping cost so if you are ordering other items, this will not affect the shipping price of the rest of the cart. This is a savings of at LEAST $50 compared to the per-foot option.
Note: this tubing is not rated for high pressures. Do not restrict the output when fed by city water pressure or a pump. |
