White Soft Silicone Tubing (Sold by the Foot)

Sold by the Foot.

Why does BRS recommend this?

For ultra-quiet plumbing a small section of silicone tubing is key. We recommend at least a small piece to isolate pumps from the ridged plumbing. Silicone tubing can kink fairly easily, so it isn’t the best to use in locations with hard bends, however by using a small piece in a straight section of plumbing can soak up almost all vibrations from return pumps and cut down on noise dramatically.

Four Sizes Available – Sold by the foot. Just enter how many feet you need, and we will send you a single piece that long. 

• 3/8″ ID – Works great for replacement air tubing on most protein skimmers.
• 1/2″ ID – Perfect for reactors, small return pumps, and other low flow equipment
• 3/4″ ID – One of the most common return pump plumbing sizes
• 1.0″ ID – Great for high flow return pump applications

High quality silicon tubing usually used between pumps and hard plumbing to help reduce vibration. Soft tubing will help dampen the vibration thus reducing the noise.
