Review on πŸ’§ POWERTEC 70176 Clear Pipe: High-Quality 2-1/2-Inch x 36-Inch Rigid Plastic Tubing by Derrek Fields

Don't waste your money

I agree with other reviews: Powertec products are a waste of time. Go to your home store and buy 2 1/2 PVC pipe, PVC fittings and flexible (black) fittings instead - for a fraction of the cost of Powertec. I did this. These prices are outrageous, and to make matters worse, Powertec fittings don't connect with their own clear tubing, so each connection requires at least 2 of their expensive 'flex clamps', which are available for less than half the price be sold at this price. in HD format. In addition, clear plastic tubing is brittle and unforgiving when it comes to cutting. It is better to use PVC, glue some or all connections and/or use flexible black fittings (half price) to connect to the blast gates. The material I bought from a home store literally cost me less than 1/3 the cost of Powertec, and PVC is a phenomenally stronger product. Shame about Powertec.
