Silicone tubing for REO

[incredible_hullk]

Hey all

Anyone had any luck finding supplier for silicone tubing for the REO preferably in JHB

What ID is the REO tubing?

Thanks

Looks to be around 1.5 mm ID. OD around 4.5 mm.

http://www.carlinmedical.co.za/ While we operated in SA, we used to get all our silicone tubing from them (even for my Reo).

No idea about locally there.

The "official" factory specs for the feed tubing's that Robert uses in the Reos is:
1/16" ID, 3/16" OD, 1/16" Wall Tygon Sanitary Silicone Tubing and 1/16" ID, 1/8" OD, 1/32" Wall Tygon Sanitary Silicone Tubing.
But Reonaughts have also used similar size Smooth Bore High Purity Clear Tygon and Food and Dairy Clear Tygon PVC tubing as well with good success.

They are the right sizes or the very nearest metric equivalent you can find,I gave them to @incredible_hullk,and the spec is fine.

How many metres do they have to extrude in order to get that price.@incredible_hullk

Seems like the Italian Bottles tubes are 4.2mm OD x 2mm ID

Seems like the Italian Bottles tubes are 4.2mm OD x 2mm ID

They apparently have 4mm OD x 2mm ID in stock.

That should work for the Italian bottles because I measured the cap hole and it is 3.25mm.

hi @genosmates...they didnt say but will advise when i get the response on monday. maybe 15m as thats their roll size

 

[incredible_hullk]

Price on the italian sqounk bottles 2mm ID X 4.2mm OD is R11.72 meter ex vat. 3 to 5 days manufacture time. r125 ex vat for 15m in stock rolls for 4mm od x 2mm id

The sizes I gave are the standard Reo spec,I have no idea if it fits the Italian bottles because I haven't tried it.

Wow! That's a bargain. I can't see me needing more than a meter though since that would be about 10 tubes. They they mention any minimum order?

When you speak with them perhaps ask what the 'Shore' hardness of the tubing is.

 

[incredible_hullk]

will do..what shore hardness should we be aiming for..sorry to me a tube is a tube
