Title: Tubing for sander/grinder. Copper or Plastic
Post by: rockherder on August 24, 2018, 10:19:44 AM

I've seen this stuff advertised and it seems like it would work. 
Anybody have any experience with this?

My whole system is plumbed with that stuff.  Different brand but I doubt that matters.  I like it because I don't have to worry about leaks and if I want to change something it only takes seconds.

I use quarter-inch garden drip tubing. Lots of options for routing water and tapping sources with tees, couplers and whatnot. It goes nicely into standard brass valves and is very cheap.
