    Best Tubing for APEX DOS for AWC

    Hello,

    I recently setup an APEX DOS for AWC. The tubing that came with the DOS seems to kink easily so I am curious to what other tubing options others have used for AWC. My plan is to run AWC where the NSW and drain are located about 20 feet away on the same floor in the laundry room. I would like to run the water lines up 7ft into the ceiling and then run the lines into the laundry room.

    My concern is that DOS tubing holding up over that long of a run compared to a stronger tubing such as RODI.

    Thanks

    Mine runs about 25 - 30' each way (NSW & OWS) and this is what I used:

    Thanks, have you had any issues with keeping the line primed or flow restrictions? Did the tubing fit good on the apex or did you have to use a convertor of some sort?

    I am a fan of polyethylene tubing. It's almost as rigid and sturdy as RODI tubing, but has a thicker wall and enough flexibility to still seal well.

    I have been using that ATP Surethane polyurethane tubing for years. Never any issue with the fit/seal on the tapered DŌS fittings or the DDR push-fit fittings. It even comes in multiple colors.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
