Does anyone know what kind of tubing this is?

Can anyone tell me what kind of tubing is used on a Python water changer?
Obviously, it's 1/2" ID tubing, but, it is of a MUCH more flexible material than the vinyl tubing that you can get in a home improvement store. They say it's custom made for them, but, I find that very hard to believe.

I’m not sure of the chemical makeup of Python, because clear plastic tubing comes in many formulations. One of the better know tubing brands is Tygon. Check them out. I would check both Home Depot and Lowes as well. Note you want to look at tube diameter as well as wall thickness.

Silicone?

Probably not silicone. That is far too flimsy, and probably won't hold up in a pressure application.

Probably just tygon tubing (a rather generic term as tygon makes silicone, polysulfone, and a myriad of different types of tubing) just simple clear pvc tubing with a tint added to it (they say it is tinted blue in color)

check masterflex.com (cole parmer).

If they dont have it, it probably doesnt exist.
