LS17 type tubing.
From the 3rd post on page 1, thesse are the fittings and the tubing for the head and the fittings will allow you to use 1/4” RODI type tubing to connect to your reactor and sump.
**** For 1/4" OD John Guest to LS/17 ****

I notice almost all setups have the darker l17 house coming out of their easy load heads. So my question is will this l/s 17 work? Or do I need a different loading house for the head.

How much tubing? If that's the question I use about 6 inches of the Ls17 tubing alternative in the thread. The rest of the tubing going to the sump is 1/4" ro.

Ok thanks. I will switch it out. Is 3' a short enough run to use the 1/4" John guest tubing? Or would u recommend the 3/8". Going to be running a Geo 612. Calrx with the Ap Carbon doser.

That's the stuff I just bought and I was told it wouldn't last long. If u look at the reviews they say the same. Go to the first page of the thread and their is a link to the pharmed l/s17 tubing. It's by the foot and 10' will cost around 45$. If u look at the pics it looks like everybody runs from 6-10" out of their heads. Tke racer reccomended 10' but if u wanna save money 5' is def. going to give u enough. It's just the extra footage is good to have so u can replace tubing as it wares down overtime.

You can either do short 3" section, but every time you change to new tube, you need to change all the fittings too. Or can do 6" or longer and just shift the worn section over to a new section of the longer tubing, so you don't have to change all the fittings as frequent.
