Any use paraflex before? I ordered if thinking it was regular nylon tubing but it feels much stiffer. Does it hold up ok? I’m concerned about it potentially busting in cold weather? So far all my nylon tubing has been fine.

What PSI are you running through it? I use poly tubing on all chemicals. Nylon tubing is generally stronger, I use nylon on Spot free due to higher pressure tolerances.

Probably between 150 and 175 psi.

Correction on above. I also use poly tubing on all chemicals. Not nylon.

“Paraflex” is a trade name for nose products made by Parker. Without knowing the product number of the hose that you have bought it’s hard to determine what you have or the intended use of the hose. I’d contact Parker https://www.parker.com/us/en/contact.html and see if the hose you bought is compatible what your intended use.

I use parflex in some of my stuff, the last i used was for my spot free lines. I run pretty much a constant 125psi i ran it in case i wanted to up the pressure down the road, i think the stuff was rated to 250psi. i used nn-6-050
