Tubing Suggestions

[JimJat]

I'm planning an very small form factor build and I need a suggestion on tubing. Due to how compact the rig will be I need the tubing to be as flexible as possible. Should be 10/16mm (3/8" - 5/8"). Thanks!

I'd go with PETG 10/13mm. It's perhaps the MOST flexible once you apply heat to it. Plus it honestly isn't hard to bend at all. You'll get the hang of it very quickly (assuming you don't already know how).

For SFF, thick walled 3/8"ID 5/8"OD is a good option since they will not kink easily when making tight radius bends, however with that makes it slightly less flexible. Some of the best flexible thick walled tubing would be EKWB EPDM black tubing.

Great! Is this the same tubing that comes with the EK predator kits? Looks similar.

Yep that is the same stuff, it's quite flexible but still thick walled so it won't kink easily.
