Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] PEX tubing for antenna spacers?
### The white PEX is garden variety stuff, typ used underground.
What about the high temp PEX used for radiant heating in floors, etc.
I think it is either red...or blue in colour.
## That grey coloured pvc tubing, you see in any home depot...in the
electrical dept, is UV resistant, its used in the sun all the time...it comes
in a lot of different diamters...from aprx 4 inch...down to real small stuff,
like
3/4 or less.

The milky white PEX tubing I have is very UV susceptible. I used some short
lengths to slip over RG 213 to protect it against chafing and it all
cracked/split pretty quickly.
