The flexibility and resiliency of the E1000 allows for larger diameter tube.

Unfortunately the standard peristaltic tube are a bit stiffer. You'll need to sacrifice OD to prevent the stalling of the versa motor.

Thanks!

Disappointed that I didn’t read this thread carefully and got the Pharmed ID 3/16 OD5/16 for my Versa. Lo and behold, not enough torque from the motor which got stuck. Awaiting got the smaller silicone tubing to arrive. PVC tubes just don’t cut it. Limited and unpredictable lifespan unless regular tube replacement.

My Kamoers have been going strong on the other hand.
