Does this tubing hold its coiled shape? I need some short (1") straight, fairly rigid pieces for mating an axle to a wheel. Would this tubing work?

It does want to curl up/keep its spiral as you pull it off the reel and work with it for its plumbing purpose. You might try a specialty plastics store that sells all sorts of rigid plastic tube and bar stock that's I would guess polycarbonate rather than polyethylene. Like a nice reusable clear straw for a sports drink bottle or little kids "crazy straw"...which ought to be thermoformable. No idea on diameters thicknesses etc vs your needd.

I have not tried using hollow tubing in my roller.It might be possible by packing the tube full of sand to prevent it from kinking, but that is only a guess.

It's naturally coiled as you see it, about 5" diameter. It stretches to just about 34" but has some curves so if absolutely straight it would be 36". Maybe if you had to have it absolutely straight you could try a hairdryer to warm it. It does not float. It is semi-hard mostly-flexible plastic -- not soft like gummy bears nor hard like a plastic model car, plane, or ship. Have to say, it is pretty realistic looking.

I am looking for a tubing to fit the handles of my ab wheel and the diameter of the handle is about 1.23 " . Have you found sleeves of this size for your project?

No and yes. The rim is 8" (size the tire fits in); 8 1/2" to the top of the flange (if you are looking for actual metal size). The hole for the axle is 3/4". This is a great tire for "LOW" speed (below 7 mph). Careful of the center hub width (width of the wheel). This one is 3". They have one for 6"

I don't think so without modifying the clamp. It's clearly set up for round tubing.

This product is pretty "stiff" under normal conditions, and is therefore very limited on bend radius - you can not form it into a tight bend without kinking it. It needs only a push-on barbed irrigation connection to work fine at pressures of at least 30 psi in my hookup. Since you plan to run heated water thru it, it will be much more "limp" and may need to be fastened at every connection with a hose clamp. With that precaution, and keeping in mind the bend limitations, I see no reason why it should not work.

No, It is just a straight shaft. It would be pretty easy to rig up something I think.

Yes, it is very durable and malleable enough to be shaped into hoops, but i wouldnt rccomendt using it for hoops, its more of a mainline that you would run many 5/8th inch lines off. The 5/8th inch is standard drip tubing and is much better for puncturing and installing emitters.

Didn't know it wasn't round tubing, it is more oval like and looks too thick. I could make it work but not everyone could. I have ideas but I wont say them not having one in front of me cause I wouldn't want to point someone in the wrong direction. if one was in front of me I could for sure make it work and look professional.

The sections of tubes slide inside of each other to get the length that you need. You will have more double thickness tube which just makes the total length stronger and less likely to sag. It should work great.

No, the cable is not stiff enough to hold a shape and will not hold a coiling the shape on its own as shown in the picture. It is rubber, not wire. Hope that helps.

It's small in diameter too, like standard air tubing. How are you planning on using it for your project?

The other answers are correct - it is made for a cylindrical spoke - however, I suspect with a little ingenuity you could rig up something that would work - after all you only need to clamp a fairly small, light thing onto a spoke, there must be a tiny clamp, maybe a small modified hose clamp or something that would hold the rubber part in place.

I'm not sure. The connecting pieces are curved to fit a round pole. Not sure if the will properly attach to the square tubing.

Ryan - I haven't used it yet, but measuring the unit indicates 1/4" ID tubing could work without clamps or 5/16" ID would probably be safer with clamps. - Paul

Yes, you might have to get a bigger clamp. They use your standard hose clamp. The u bolt it used for 1" dia tube. Like a snowmobile handle bar.
