Hi All,
The leak-shield manual recommends using hard tubing for builds and if soft tubing:
"As a broad rule, the outer diameter of PVC tubing should be at least 1.5 times the inner diameter of soft tubing.
For PUR tubing, a factor of 1.2 is usually sufficient. Hardtubes are generally suit-able. Without information on compatibility, we recommend testing at slightly in-creased negative pressure and maximum water temperature before use."
Questions:
1. Does anyone have experience with using leakshield with ZMT? The 9.5mm/15.9mm tubing meets the 1.5x times requirement.
2. Has anyone tried Alphacool's EPDM (10/13) which doesnt meet the 1.5 requirement, noting it is not PVC but EPDM and so maybe the 1.5x requirement isnt necessary?
Just looking for case / experiences if anyone has tried it. I know the Alphacool's tubing is a lot more bendier than ZMT.
Thanks
