1-1/2" i.d. silicone tubing
 
Does anyone know where to purchase 1-1/2" i.d. silicone tubing in Canada?
I'm looking for a few feet so I can isolate noise and vibration from my pumps.

Thanks

It might be tough if it has to be silicone McMastercarr only has it up to 1 1/4" ID.
What about Spaflex? It comes in 1 1/2" id and you can still glue it to PVC fittings.

I'm looking to use the silicone fitting as a way to un-couple the pump as needed, so I can't use anything that has to be glued. I find the vinyl tubing that Home Depot sells pretty stiff to work with.
I did come across some 3" silicone couplers that are used for automotive applications, but given that they are 4 ply, they're probably just as stiff.


Thanks.

Thats what I did on mine as well unions on both ends of the pump and Spaflex to isolate them.

That's a good idea, thanks.
