Hi All,  

I think I once had this figured out but have forgotten – meaning my project is taking way too long.  I have the store-bought aluminum Static Ports with barbed fittings on the back side.  I’d like to keep barbed fittings throughout for simplicity and reliability – I’ve had compression and “instant” fittings leak.  What size and type tubing is best ??  I’m looking at Tygon, polyurethane, polyethelene, and other exotics ….. but is there someone with the technical expertise to say one is best over the other ??  

Thanks !!!!

Larry,

  

 Go with the polyurethane, you will only have to buy  this stuff once. It's flexible and very tough.

 SMC has a really nice light walled black polyurethane that fits their  pneumatic fittings and would be my recommendation to you.  It will last the  lifetime of the airframe.  By the way Tygon is just another brand name  and not descriptive of a particular polymer.
