nayruf Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi to find out the best possible material choices for the tubing, do a google search for 'coleparmer chemical compatibility database' it is a data base that lists amongst other things elastomer materials and their resistance to chemical attack from various chemicals. Buna Nitrile is a good choice as are Fluorocarbon elastomer's aka 'Viton' hopefully this may make it possible to to have a broader choice of tubing suppliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I just used a load of windscreen washer hosse that i had laying around from my scrapped cars, works pretty good although i havent used the vac gauge for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilninggas Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I've just replaced mine with wiper hose too, works well. It only sees a vacuum, so as long as you don't douse it in petrol it'll be fine. All motor factors stock it too. Incidently the hose they supply in those kit is attacked by air! or so it seems; it is utter junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
