surgical tubing for shampoo vac

[Eric H]

I need to replace the surgical tubing in one the perisaltic pumps in a Fragmatics shampoo machine. Can anyone tell me the correct ID and OD that I need to get? I can't tell if the origional stuff is swollen. Is there some type of supply house for some other industry that I can find this locally?

Can't help with the sizing - call manufacture of equipment. A good source I have found is Eldon James (http://www.eldonjames.com/) takes credit cards and good pricing

I'm having a similar issue with a D & S fragrance/vac. I have one fragrance line either plugged or broken. D & S wants about $300 for a new hose assembly because they don't sell the tiny little tubing and I can't find it anywhere.

I went to the above mentioned website. Looks like they probably have what I need. Thanks!

Eric H, you'll probably find that most places will only sell a minimum of 100 feet of the tubing. You can order it directly from Fragramatics. It shouldn't swell if you use their shampoo/spot/removers.

washme1, you're talking about 1/8" OD nylon tubing. You can get it from Grainger or a Parker distributor.

I stopped at the parker store to see if they could help. They don't stock it but, they did have some left over from a sling shot they made. They cut me off 5' for free. The boss had made them take the sling shot apart

The tubing in my machine is very, very small ID. I tried running some picture hanging wire thru the tube, it was slightly larger than the wire. I think I'll call Eldon James to see if I can send them a small piece. Thanks
