## Description

Clear rigid pvc tubing with thin walls. Use as replacement uplift tubes or to fabricate custom set-ups for aquariums and pools.

Review: handy for a thousand uses - I've been using this brand of tubing for over forty years, This particular size fits quite snugly into standard airline tubing and has a thousand uses in the aquarium hobby. I've used it in making custom filters, brine shrimp hatcheries, placing airstones, and hundreds of other things. if you heat it with a hot air gun, you can bend it to almost any shape you want. When I look for it in my local stores, I can no longer find it. There are no mom and pop fish stores left in my town. They've all been pushed out by the big chain stores, and these chains really don't to deal with the DIY crowd. My tubing, (I had ordered three pieces) came well wrapped in bubble wrap and tightly bound together. It was in good condition, ready to cut to size and use. I recommend ordering three or more pieces at a time. If you are into fishkeeping at any deep level, you will use it all up sooner or later and wish that you had ordered more. It's just that useful. I would also suggest getting a supply of 3/8", 1/2" and 1". All these sizes can really come in handy.
Review: Worked well in my aquarium - The rigid tube worked well in my aquarium and comes in one long piece. However, be sure to have the right L-shaped tubing to attach it to the end of your bubble wand. Don't use plastic tubing or it will bend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the inside diameter?  I am looking for 3/16" inside diameter which is not mentioned in specs.**
A: 1/8" inside diameter, 3/16" outside diameter.

**Q: what's the difference between these and a straw, other than the fact that it's clear?**
A: These are more rigid than most straws and, also, hold a bend better. Mostly, however, the diameter of the opening on these is much smaller.

**Q: What is the inside diameter of the 3/16" tube**
A: I no longer have these tubes. But if you go to any pet shop that uses air tubing attached to individual filters in an aquarium (including under-gravel filters) you will find these tubes and can measure their inside diameter.

**Q: Will I get 9 tubes or only 1?**
A: I received one 3ft tube today. Picture misleading.

### ⭐ Did not delivery even a fraction of my purchase
*by S***E on March 5, 2014*

After having to wait for delivery the items arrived well packaged but missing. I ordered a quantity of 6, after reading the reviews I expected that I may not receive the full packs of 9 but I at least expected to receive 6, instead I received only 3 3' tubes total. These are also not standard tube sizes and no attachments will fit in them, so you can't use connectors or splitters on them, if you warm up the regular flexible tubing you can just about squeeze it over the outside of these rigid ones. The seller did refund my money but it is very frustrating as I live rural so only go to areas with stores occasionally and after waiting so long for these to arrive to have the order so wrong was very annoying. My order was sent from Sold by: HorseLoverZ / EasyPetStore.
