Flexible tubing

[btf66509]

Probably a really dumb question here, but what is the flexible tubing used in the water system called? Not the solid semi-rigid red and blue PEX. I’m talking about the opaque tubing with a red or blue line around it. It uses the same PEX crimp rings, so is it a different kind of PEX? 🤦🏼*♂️

Its braid reinforced tubing. Most big box home improvement stores carry it.

I figured it was something simple and common. Thanks Bama!

inside and outside diameters are not standard. take a piece with you to avoid multiple trips to the store.

They only use the PEX type pinch clamps on both types of tubing because that is what they use the most of.

Keeping two different styles of clamps and paying someone to carry a nut/screwdriver would make your rig cost like $1 more!
