Title: Anywhere in Ottawa to get 100' of inexpensive 1/4" ID tubing?
Post by: Taoism on June 21, 2011, 09:56:12 PM
I can order tubing online relatively cheaply shipped from the UK, but I would hope there is a local source of inexpensive tubing.  I am going to build a nitrate reactor and need 100' of 1/4" ID (3/8" OD would be ideal) tubing.

So... anyone know local sources that are not expensive?  Big Al's wants $0.49/ft

Cheers!

I am confused.  Why do you need 100' of hose?  Are you running the reactor that far away?

Call Canus Plastics way cheaper. They moved to Conroy near Walkely now.

Well, once again (depending on the material you're looking for), I would encourage you to check out Home Depot, Lowes or Canadian Tire. They would all have it in food-grade vinyl and a more rigid plastic type.

+1  Way cheaper at Canus... I bought 50' of 1/4" ridge tubing used in hospitals for O2 for my CO2 it was way cheaper than CTC, Lowes or HD. The vinyl stuff was also potable and dirt cheap. They have such great stuff there hate they moved so far away from me now. :(
