Duda Energy HPpvc038-100ft 100' x 3/8" ID High Pressure Braided Clear Flexible PVC Tubing Heavy Duty UV Chemical Resistant Vinyl Hose Water Oil

This tubing is very stiff and hard to work with. It's nice and thick which is what I wanted. What I don't like about it is that I received it and both ends are not cut straight across. They are raggedy so I haven't been able to use it yet. It looks like someone tried cutting it with a kitchen knife so it doesn't fit correctly. I will have to cut both ends so they're straight across.The tubing was also a little smashed and since it's so thick I'm having a really hard time trying to get it round.Filter pieces are not that sturdy and with this tubing not being that flexible it pulls a lot on the connecting pieces between the tubing and the filter.I'm not sure I will order it online again. I need to make sure that what I'm getting is cut straight across on the ends when I purchase it and that it's not smashed so where it's difficult to use. I do think it's quality tubing and will last a long long time. It will also work well being buried under the ground.

Was about to order direct from Amazon but was given the option of getting it direct from Duda Energy for $2 less and free shipping, which I accepted. Arrived on the second day during lunch. Exactly what I expected, except that the OD is slightly larger than 1/2 inch. The Amazon description is 19/32", which I have no reason to doubt. The product is perfect, except for a strong odor of unreacted long-chain alcohol from the plasticizer. This is not an issue since I am using it to replace an AC condensate line not in the living space of the home. The tubing is labeled not for food contact. I expect the odor to dissipate with time. My first condensate line, clear unreinforced vinyl, lasted 19 years until it got so disreputable-looking that I replaced it. When I yanked that old line out today it was still sound, although opaque and tacky. I expect this new line to outlast me.

I'm not afraid to give a 5-star review for a product I returned. The build quality is great! It's an incredibly sturdy hose. Well made. Dimensions are correct. It just wound up not working for my project.The hose itself is very rigid compared to a traditional garden hose, which I guess I should've expected if I actually knew what I was looking for. So if you buy this, know that you will get a really high-quality hose, but don't expect it to be very pliable.

I set up a temporary workspace at home a few times a week and have wires everywhere..for the laptop, headset, mouse, and chargers. My 2 year old Siberian cat had taken to chewing wires when I was away working at the office. I solved that problem for a while by covering the wires with hardware store clear plastic tubing. I was a genius, I thought! And then she really got mad at me and gave the plastic tubing a workout with her choppers. Chewed through the tubing down to the wire. So, I just cut a slit down this tubing and placed it around the laptop cord. so far, so good. It's flexible enough for me and I think it'll be tough enough to withstand Chewey the Cat. :-)

Using this tubing to run a bait-well and live-well in my boat. First impressions were good, it seems to be like a very solid product and well put together. Reason for my 3 star review is because this tubing is nearly impossible to work with. Hope you have the patience to stand there and try and mold it the way you want it to run. Hose was spiraled up and wrapped in plastic. I even tried heating it up with a heat gun, however it just molded right back to the way it was. Very tough product to work with, mold, and bend the way you need.

The tubing seems to be a good quality but in my case (ON a sprinkler pump pressure switch) you just can't slip it over the fitting. It will leak, so I had to put clamps on it to stop the leaks. Regular cheap tubing that does not last as long just slips over the fitting without clamps. It's definitely better though!

Had to have this diameter hose for the discharge of grey water on our camper, since our campground does not permit the standard flex plastic pipe. It is extremely durable for any use, and withstands the elements of harsh weather. It will not crush or kink and being able to see liquids going through is helpful at times. Best bought during warm weather since it is coiled for shipment and stiff . However if you need to, it can be warmed at room temp to aid in the process. Good buy.

I was worried I was going to receive a bent and kinked hose and would have no control over what I received.. as i have seen them at the store.. when they are precut. I was very pleased to find out that there is no imperfections and it was actually sealed on both ends so that it would be impossible to form a crease.Very happy with the packaging and shipping..If it holds up the same as a different hose I have of this type this review will remain 5 stars

I'm using it for the water system in my expedition vehicle, it goes to the first tank with water for the shower and washing dishes only. The "chemical" smell what others were talking about is just a smell of rubber nothing else! It's doesn't smell like acid or vinegar, you could use is for fresh water too if you clean/flush the hose. I did it with salt and warm (not hot) water, I cooked the water with salt first, cooled it down a bit, filled the hose and left it in the sun for the whole day, it's like uv-filtering. This is what we already did in some African countries to not get sick, of course if your stomach is sensitive only. You won't die cancer because of the hose, your cancer comes from somewhere else anyways, it's too late for all of us ;)The rubber smell will disappear slowly, so you will not smell it in the truck, RV or what ever.

This was the cheapest 1" braided tubing I found on Amazon, I bought it for a one time project, which was to transfer kerosene from one drum to another and it did the job well, there is not much to say about the product except it did its job. One issue that I wish would be resolved is that the ends were flattened down due to the wrapping, I had to cut off about 6" to get back into the round portion of the hose so that I could fit onto the fittings because the hose is too stiff to strech onto the fittings in it's flattened state.Still an excellent buy.

It's a hose not much to say about it the only thing I could think of it's thick and for my application it wasn't the right hose it wasn't flexible enough so if you're wondering what my application was I feel a bucket and then I pump that water out of that bucket into another bucket and this hose is not the greatest for that

Seems pliable enough for a dishwasher drain hose extension. Better options here than at the hardware store. If anyone sees a problem with my installation, let me know...I could pay $12 for a drain hose extension at the hardware store that is 2’ too long, or pay $14 for the proper fitting hose and have enough hose leftover for other projects.

I'll need to soak the ends on boiling water to soften them up for the quick connect end pieces.And I'll be trying to straighten the entire 10ft hose out over the next few days inside the house with the ends being the biggest challenge. I may have bought something over qualified for my needs as I just need to draw some water from a local river and fill some water tanks.
