    Aquarium tubing thimbles or something to support tubing

    Looking for something to support DOS tubing from kinking when having to bend it at 90°. Closest I found were 90° supports for people tubing but smallest was 3/4 I need 1/4. Any suggestions?

    Argh! To be honest i was thinking of Trident tubing (sample/waste). Wow i'm tired! However I do use drip tubing to run long lengths from my DOS. A small section of the flexible tubing that NS supplies goes on the DOS head fitting, then a small barbed fitting from this tubing to the Drip tubing to my destination is what I've run.

    Tubing isn't meant to be bent at a sharp angle. Route the tubing so it has a smooth curve.

    If you really need to have a fairly tight bend, you can use 90-gegree quick-disconnect fittings.
