Can you really cut this tubing to length? One of the reviews says you cannot cut this tubing. I only need about 10 feet, not 25.

This has a preformed plastic compression fittings on it; not made to be cut. If you do not see a shorter one, just leave the extra in a coil.

Funny...I purchased it thinking the same thing; that I could cut sections and use; however, that can't be done. It is connected to an electric source; therefore, any cut section would be useless.

you can cut the tube on the side that goes into the tank. make it the length that you need. the slotted part comes off the filter tube and that is where you cut to make it shorter

I guess you could tie the line to the end but why? Might as well cut a 4 or 5 foot branch off a tree. Its shorter than the usual rod. Its designed for a reel, I use one.

Yes, it can be cut to any length. The black strips are what give off the heat so cut between them

There are a number of sections so you can make it shorter, but it is only certain widths. I have ours in use right now, otherwise I would take a look and see if it is two or three sections. If I remember it is three equal sections. If you are handy it wouldn't take much to cut the pipe with a hack saw and drill a new hole.

My kit had a total of 6 ft., however, you can order extra tubing from Flow-Rite. Believe me, the convenience of using the kit is well worth the extra effort to complete the project.

MFG gives you enough material to go 10". Just get the extra aluminum tubing you need and a collar to connect at Lowes/Home Depot.

there are 3 sections of shaft. each section of reel shaft is 7 ft long. you could use just 1 section and cut it to the length you want. if you need more than 7 ft you would have to cut the splicer section too and use it to lengthen the cut shaft up to more than the 7 ft. it would work but you would have to be accurate with the cutting of the aluminum shafts. good luck if you do it. the reel works good on 15 ft pool. the instructions are misleading though.

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.

yes sure it can be cut at any length just don't cut it at the end that it plugs in, but you can definitely cut it into any lenghth you want!

You are correct that these use standarad pipe threads. I would not use conduit since it is not rigid enough. I chose to use galvanized pipe. It was actually a few cents per foot cheaper than the black pipe at Lowes. Also, I purchase three 10 foot sections, had it cut to the lengths I needed and then threaded on both ends to permit joining sections with a coupler to exend the reach as needed. Lowes does not charge for cutting and threading. Why 10 foot secitons? Less expensive than buying standard shorter lengths and I was able to determin the lenghts I would need for my projects.

You wouldn't want to cut it at all if you need short leave the extra tied up, it's just one cable length no shorter one it is what it is,and place out of sun and away from any source of heat that would make it read falsely

Cut yourself. I found the instructions showed a length 1/4" too short.Cut and try ONE 1st for best results.

The hose is 10ft and we don't believe you could add a longer one. We were so impressed with this item we bought two one for ourwinters in Florida and one for home. We also recommended it to 4 other couples who bought one.

You probably could take a hacksaw and cut off about 6" below where the tubes are seamed together. Or just have a metal fabricator make you one showing the picture.

Sorry, I do not know. But, I'd try cutting a little bit of tubing from home depot of the same diameter and save your self the hunt.
