Thick walled flexible beer line/tubing

[Dr Jacoby]

The Americans seemed to be spoiled for choice when it comes to flexible thick walled tubing for dispensing beer. Bevlex, for example, sell this kind of thing:

And morebeer have something similar:

Does anyone know of any local/European suppliers who sell this kind of tubing?

that reminds me of tubing i used when i was building the watercooling loop on my PC - tygon... they do a beverage specific one.

I'd say it's pricey enough.

Don't know if these guys sell it by the length or roll or whatever.

I know CH will chip in here, but:

Commercial installs don't use silicon tubing.

They now use a twin wall product in their pythons (large bundle of beer lines plus a pair of 1/2" glycol lines - wrapped in 2 or 3" of foam tubing.

The inner wall of the beer lines is a very thin(as in microns) film of "no yeast/crud can sticky here stuff"  supported by our normal (PE) tubing (Ok with a coloured stripe)

CH supplies the raw materials to they who make this! (or so he said)

We did discuss this before, both these products are made from PVC and use plasticisers, which are food approved.
The medical industry have been trying for years now to get away from PVC, for cost ground reasons and the fact that's it's highly flexible has it still being used extensively.
The actual long term impact of phthalates is not fully understood but when I started out there were 7 medically approved plasticisers now there is only 1
The rigid grey green or translucent tubing produced by Valpar (now owned by Micromatic the Reg producers) are made from an outer layer of LDPE and an inner layer of Nylon 11
Nylon 11 is the least reactive and most chemically resistant product for use in exposure to alcohol and the reason why I and the commercial beverage industry won't touch anything that contains plasticised PVC
