DOS Peri Tubing

Dxpert · Oct 30, 2020

Sorry to revise an old thread. How has the replacement Santoprene tube worked? Does it last as long (or longer) than the OEM tube?

Would anyone be willing to mail a few cut lengths to me? I would cover the shipping/purchase costs.

Replacement tubing has lasted as well as the original. I just replaced the tubing for the second time (about every six months). Unfortunately I just used my last piece. I do plan to reorder - this time a lot more since I know it works. Can you not get it in Canada? That’d be unfortunate - depending upon the outcome of the US election, I may be moving there LOL.

What’s the difference between the santroprene and the pharmed tubing?

I did a bit of research and the pharmed appears to be custom made for parasailing pumps. It’s supposed to last longer. I ended up order 5 ft of it, cost me an arm and a leg once the exchange rate and shipping was added. Here is what I got: https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=25399&catid=864 so far it’s working great

That’s what I got too @Dxpert

Anyone found a good lubricant for this application? I was told Glycerine lubricant is what’s needed, can’t find small bottles of it online.
