Ro/di tubing

[YHSublime]

Looking for this tubing, I have an air water ice typhoon III. Anyone know what size it is? 1/4"? Can I get it at a hardware store?

[NateCamReef]

I believe it is 1/4 but I'm not 100%. Someone will confirm shortly I'm sure. My advice is to NOT get the more rigid tubing like I did. It is a PITA to use with the quick connects!

It is the same tubing they use for ice makers in refrigerators or home water purifiers. It is at most hardware stores, look in the plumbing section where the hose spools are or in the home water filter section. It is 1/4" polyethylene tubing.

How much do you need? I have a bunch in a few colors for free. Shoot me a PM if interested.

You can get it at HD in the plumbing aisle. There are a couple sizes for this kind of tubing. Just take a small sample and find the size you need.

+1. Use the ice maker tubing (1/4" polyethylene) that you can find at HD or Lowes.

Thanks much!

Haha, always. Thanks man.

Actually, Ice maker tubing for some reason is 5/16" not 1/4". I ran into this when I replaced my adapter for my fridge and guess what? Not sold at Lowes or HD for some reason.

I've got lots of ice maker tubing from both HD and Lowe's in 1/4 inch. I'm sure that you can get it in other sizes, though.

 

Here's the link for the product that Lowe's carries. $3.47 for 25 feet. Item #: 443061 |  Model #: LSPEB25

The tubing is easier to get. I needed an adapter and they DON'T sell 5/16" push to connects for my 5/16" tube. Just saying that it's not necessarily 1/4". My input line on my RODI is also 3/8", not 1/4". Only the tubes between the canisters is 1/4".

There must be different types then because here is the kit I recently bought at Lowes and the package said, "for ice makers".

That's what I'm getting at. There are def different types. There is no such size as "ice machine" tubing, or RODI tubing for that matter.

Gotcha. Isaac's post was seeking 1/4" tubing for his Typhoon III. That product uses 1/4" tubing throughout. (I have three of them at home.)

Funny enough I needed the same and got the Water Line tubing. I'm sure I will have extra if you need. Should be able to know how much on Fri or Sat

Bingo.

 

Thanks tom. Thanks Tracy, I'll probably just pick some up at that price!
