I'm looking experiment with No Chill so what tubing would I need to use to safely transfer the near boiling wort from the kettle to the Corney/Cube?
I have a few different thicknesses of this Polythene (https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/polythene-tubing-clear-12-bore-per-meter-p-253.html). Is this likely to melt or leech chemicals into my wort?
it'll be fine but go very soft.
Silicone tubing would be better.

Cheers. You mean the polythene goes soft / limp?
Do any of the home brew shops do Silicone here?
Maybe copper might be a good option?
Try sending Damo (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,4619.0.html) a PM for 1/2" silicon tube. It's very good quality stuff.

If you need a meter or two think that may find something for ya.

That'd be sweet. A meter would do me

When do you need it?
No rush. I can pick it up off you when it suit you. I'm driving through the north county this evening as it happens
We used Polythene for a while but read a few reports of it leaching chemicals which was somewhat concerning so we went down the silicon route and wouldn't go back. The stuff is great!
Hi, Qualpex pipe will do the trick. It's used in central heating and will take boiling all day long and will not leach. Copper can leach if allowed to turn green, remember!☺👍
