Eastman 1/2 Inch ID (5/8 Inch OD) PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing, 10 Foot Length, 98568

Bought this to replace tubing on my hydroponics systems. Works well, very strong and durable. I opted to get the clear because my other tubing was getting clogged and I couldn’t locate the issue. With this, at least I can see the buildup happening, so I can get in there and flush it before I lose plants to decreased flow. This was similarly priced to the tubing at Home Depot, and in a smaller length- which was more than sufficient for my needs.

It is just tubing. It has many uses and has never kinked on me. I use it growing mushrooms and for my aquarium :-)

Anyone else sick of trying to get lotion out of bottles because the darn tubes used by brands are too short? I'm sorry I have to buy bargain and store brand lotions but do I need to be punished by penny saving crap from manufacturers? Nope, not anymore. This tubing worked perfectly to extend the manufacturer's pump tube in multiple brand lotion bottles. A two inch section heated slightly with a lighter (heat gun or even hairdryer would likely work too) to make it stretchy and pull over the end of the lotion pump tube and voila, longer and flexible end on the tube and NO MORE WASTED LOTION!!! Works great, no leaks, and easy to install. Didn't kink up or pop off. Just thrilled at the results. I literally cut open bottles to scrape out the 2"+ of lotion in the bottom of bottles and now I can just add a bit of this tubing and no more wasted lotion. I also bought a larger tube and it worked perfectly on shampoo/conditioner pumps. 20 feet of this tubing at a great price will save me tons of money and hassle in the future.

This tubing appears to be made well and true-to-size. I won't hesitate to buy it again; however, there are two packaging issues that could be improved. The tubing is packaged in a roll secured by three twist ties. The first issue is that the inner loop of the tubing is small enough that it put a kink in the tubing. Using a heat gun, I was able to straighten the kink and make that section of the hose--the last ~10 inches--usable. The second is that the size label is glued onto the tubing and left a significant amount of paper and goo stuck to the tubing when I removed it. My particular application leaves the tubing in plain sight, so paper/goo wasn't ideal. The paper and goo were easily removed with a heat gun. Even if the manufacturer doesn't address those two minor packaging issues, this vinyl tubing is still a good deal.

Works like it is supposed to. Doesn't kink and is not flimsy.

Worked as it should. It's got thick walls but it will stretch a little.

Works great!! Great price

Bought this tubing based on a video I found looking for something to hold the wayward thread on my sewing bobbins. I was skeptical, but thought it might work. It does. You cut the tubing in about 1/4" rings or whatever width you need to go over your bobbin thread and cut the ring open. It slides perfectly around your bobbin, holding the thread so you don't have a rat's nest of thread when reaching to use a bobbin. You can also see the thread color thru the tubing. I can make about a million rings with this tubing. There was nothing this cheap or even suitable for bobbins. This is a winner!
