Source for acrylic tube? 4"
 
I am wanting to build a Kalk reactor, but need some clear tube. Anyone know where I can get 3' of 4" or 4.5" Diam acrylic tube for a OK price?

Thx in Advance

I get my supplies here http://www.ippnet.com/home.html the price on extruded is not bad but the cast is pricey. Not sure if they ship or not but worth a call, sometimes they have shorter cutoffs at decent prices.

For dosing Kalkwasser, to keep Calcium levels up

McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) is my go to place for materials. I use a ton of acrylic tubing to build my reactors (chemical, not calc) for my PhD and these guys have a good selection. May be a little bit more but it'll be at your house before you know it and you can find almost anything you want.

I thought Mcmaster stopped shipping to Canada?? Tried to order somwthing from them last year and they wouldn't ship out of the U.S.

Not that I know of. Just got a $900 parts order from them about 5 days ago. I could have been what you were trying to order maybe?

No I was just ordering some nylon thumbscrews etc, and they wouldn't ship to Canada. I used to order from them all the time, good news that they are shipping again.

ya, I tried to get some stuff from them 3 years ago, no CDN shipping so I never went back and even looked what they have

I should probably state that I am ordering all of this through my work at the University. I will extend the offer to you guys, if McMaster won't ship to you, I can order it and give it to you.
