    Tygon/Clearflex Tubing

    I need about 2-3m of tygon or clearflex for watercooling on my PC. I'm looking for this stuff as it's really flexy and won't kink in tight turns.

    ID: 7/16th

    Bunnings doesn't stock it, I was wondering where I'd find it. I'm SOR.

    Also get some sleeves for the tubing. It stops the piping from kinking and is UV reactive aswell

    CoolSleeves

    and their piping is $2.50 a metre

    edit:
    Nowhere is Perth stocks that stuff that I have found

    I tried to source that stuff locally aswell. I must have called 30 stores. Trinix were the only ones that would get it locally but it was a lot cheaper and quicker to order from over east

    why dont you buy it from Crown scientific or Rowe scientific

    its used in laboratories for peristaltic pumps. it's sold under Masterflex brand but possible others as well.

    at least those guys are local. if you called they would be able to tell you if they have it.

    edit: from the Cole-Palmer catalogue
    most of the 7/16 OD tubing is around $150 for 15m. i think thats the minimum amount as well. there are some around the $50-80 mark as well. different wall thicknesses and rigidness

    Yeah so have I. At least it's reasonably quiet and just sits under the desk all day.
