I have some 1/2" OD tubing, cloudy clear, thin wall, and what makes it unsual compared to other tubing is that it flops around. Nine inches might support itself from one end, but more than that bends and flops.
I may want to buy more.
Do you know what it is made of?
9"
think you are just bragging
Are you sure it's not pex ?
My bet is vinyl but it could be PEX. These days PEX is usually red and blue. PEX is stiffer and thicker than vinyl.
That it, it collapses and folds at the end that is supported. It folds so completely at that one point that points straight down and it doesn't have to bend anywhere else. . I should have asid this because the two hub suggested will bend over but they won't fold so that the lower side hits the upper side, inside.
I don't know how else to describe how soft it is.
I don't thik posting a picture would add anything.
I've never messed w/ pex much at all -- is there clear pex?
Sounds like latex or silicone or PVC surgical tubing.
something like this??
Pex is generally pretty rigid too.
Right. It's not PEX and it's not braided, which would be much too stiff. I don't think it's the first one hub suggested either because I think it's walls are too thick and it's too clear. this stuff is cloudy until it's light white. You can still things that are in there but can't make out details.
But I look at a page likw this and don't see anthing that looks like it:
But not about the thinness and flop.
There is a white but not really clear like vinyl, more opaque. You can see the fluid in it.

Yes, it's stretchy. I didn't know that until I tried just now,
And your link is exactly right. Thank you so much.
How did you figure it out on what little I gave you?
From the url: 'Sizes: IDs & ODs from .010-.750", Lengths from .250"'
So they sell lengths starting at a quarter of an inch! LOL
That's good because a lot of places make you buy a whole roll.
***It's the description that makes me know it's the right stuff. The picture looks like pictures of many other materials.Its advantage is that it's soft enough to close completely with not much pressure and soft/flexible enough to open again as soon as the clamp is released. And it folds up for carrying to whatever length one wants. Maybe that's the most important part in my case.
(I'm not sick but I may have mentioned that I'm fat, and this is for an anti-feeding tube. I may not need it but I want to plan ahead. )
The link is from Exalt Custom Tubing, Extrusion Alternnatives, and it sounds like they make this stuff to order. Maybe they are serious about making a quarter inch. No, they coudln't be.
LOL
A long life of varied experience and "clare"ifying issues, I guess. I've been exposed to a LOT of different technology, done a LOT of reading and research intoa LOT of subjects.
It's like when people ask how I spell my last name (there are 3 pretty common spellings here) and I say, "not the rich ones, with the nei" (Schneider - the meat, transport, and electrical products) and "not the egotistical ones with the I" (snider)" but the curious one - with the Y"
