The problem with Tygon is that it's made with PTFE (Teflon). It's been proven theat Teflon can release poisonous gasses when heated. I would not drink through it.

But if you want to be sure that the tube doesn't break down, consider this. Tygon tube is the choice of the food and beverage industry. The tube is stencil'd with food grade or food safe. Anything... might work. But Tygon is the grade to consider. Best Wishes W Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get several feet of the plastic (or plastic-like) tubing that's used for the water supply line to a refrigerator or icemaker, and cut it to desired lengths. Be sure to wash it good before use. They have the narrow tubing (1/4" O.D.) that works well for hot liquids that you sip and the wider tubing (1/2" O.D.) for those bevs you really want to suck down. 73 Greg K4KO Lebanon, TN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See what's free at AOL.com.
