    Watering system tube

    I found these on the web when I search for mist sprayer for my tortoises, can they be used for my roddent rack watering system?

    Anyone used them before? They are quite a bit cheaper:

    Would there be a size problem?

    Thanks.

    Diameter of flex tube

    Does anyone know what is the inner diameter of the 3/16" flex tube used for your watering system?

    If 3/16" is the outer diameter, it is sooooo tiny!!!

    Re: Watering system tube

    I checked the edstrom website and the 3/16" is the Inside diameter.

    I use the larger blue lines myself 5/16". To make it work with the 3/16" barb on the vari-flow valves you need a 1" piece of 3/16 and it fits snug inside the 5/16" tube.
