Acrylic Tubing vs Regular Tubing
Go to solution
Solved by JordanMac,
Acrylic tubing
Pros
-Can get really straight runs which always look good
-wont discolour like some tubing does
Cons
-with hard piping it is harder to move items around/swap items
-little to no flexibility so your bends have to be spot on.
-fittings and the tubing itself is a little more expensive than standard barbs and tubing
Regular tubing
Pros
-no need for heatguns etc to bend
-no need to be precise about bends etc as the tubing is flexible
-cheaper and easier
Cons
-doesn't look as good because you can get perfectly straight runs
-doesn't hold its shape (will sag etc)
your basically looking at a choice between practicality/easiness with regular tubing vs better looking/harder for acrylic tubing.
