Tubing:
#16 (1/4” OD x 1/8” ID) Food Grade Tygon tubing is normally used in this system. It can be
purchased from Parker Customer Service in boxes of 50 ft. (PN 400-216)
When asked, we recommend replacing the entire tubing set once every 6 months, and when doing
so, cut both pieces a foot longer than needed. (This can be done more frequently if the clinic wishes
to.) This allows you to remove the tubing from the pump once a month and cutting of the last 2” of it
that has been trapped inside the head. The tubing does swell over time in these conditions and will
cause under-dispensing issues resulting in problems with the calibration and accuracy of the
dispensing at the end of the day.
