Anyone fitted tubbing onto this before for liquid diet? If so, what kind and what inside diameter?

I used it with my feeding tube. When that tube fell out and I got a new one, the tube was smaller. This comes with an adapter though so it fit in the smaller tube as well. I also am not sure of diameter. It's a good product though.

If you mean have I used for tube feedings, yes with a standard sized PEG tube. I don't know the inside diameter of the tube but since the irrigation needle has a tapered tip, it will probably fit most tubes for PEG feedings.

The "inside diameter" of the hole at the end of the tip is ~0.165" (between 1/8" and 3/16"). The end of the tip is rounded but where the rounded tip transitions to a smooth taper the outside diameter is ~0.27". At the larger end of the taper (nearer the barrel of the syringe) the outside diameter is ~0.38". Any relatively flexible tubing with an inside diameter between .27 and .38 inches could be slipped over the tapered end to give a good seal. Sorry I don't know enough about feeding tubes to give a better answer.

You need to slather on a good amount so buy the 8 oz tube instead. My daughter said it didn't work as well as she expected no matter how much she used though, but she used it on her bikini line, so...

Moderation is key. You just need it to hold in the liquid inside and a moderate tightness will suffice.

Single piece tube...no chance of breaking. It comes with multiple diameter tube. Guaranteed to fit

3/8 " tubing. Heat it up with hot water and it will slide right on and fit snug :-)

The Inside Diameter of this tubing is 5/16" and the length is approximately 10 ft. long. (I used this tubing with DORMAN Barbed Fittings No.Dorman 800-012 Barbed Carbon Steel Fuel Line Union for 5/16 In.)...I hope this helps....

The metal tubing is 1.5" outside diameter (OD). The foam grip area is 1.75" OD. I weigh 188 lb. and the tubing seems sturdy for my weight.

This is NOT food grade tubing. The description states "Not for use with ice makers" which actually indicates it can't handle pressures over about 30 psi. But if it was food grade tubing it would specifically say so. Clear food grade tubing will be made of a denser material which helps prevent bacteria from attaching to the sidewalls. For this reason food grade tubing is usually significantly more expensive. And you need to be careful because there are sellers here at Amazon claiming their tubing is food grade which is not actually food grade. If you see in the description that the tubing conforms to FDA, USDA and 3-A milk handling standards it's a safe bet it's true food grade. Anyone making that claim falsely is subject to prosecution and being buried in lawsuits. If you're looking for water line, as most people are, do a search for "Pex Ice Maker" and you'll find kits with various lengths of line as well as the ends you need to attach to ice makers. Pex line is for use with potable water and can handle the pressure of a water line. You can also use copper which will last nigh forever but it requires a double flaring tool to install.

I use 3/8 x 5/8. I've used 3/8 x 1/2 tubing in the past, but I prefer 3/8 x 5/8. Also, invest in the M20 fill port if you decide to get this.

This works perfectly with the longer, thicker part of the tubing. Really handy. The short part (which connects to the mask) I just swish clean in the sink. For what it's worth, I also bought a stiff brush with a long, flexible "feeder" that moves well through the longer, thicker tube. Can't remember where or what brand, though.

No. The tubing doesn't bend and I think if you tried to force it, it would break. It isn't very thin. The dripping would come from the coupling where the top meets the bottle. I don't know of a cure for that except to get it in snugly and not fill the bottle full. I think the slope of the tube is fine. I have other feeders with similar tubing and the hummers find them easily.

Unfortunately, I had the same issue. I bought a stainless steel tub for our mud room. It was very difficult to fit to the sink and we had to have fittings made to fit. Now that it is installed, we love it. We found a commercial plumbing supply that was able to help us! You won't find what you need at a Lowes or HomeDepot.

Better products are available for feeding tubes. This product needs major "flushing" to remove it from straws, etc so, again, consider products that are medically recommended for tubes with additional attention to an individual's dietary requirements.

I no longer have these tubes. But if you go to any pet shop that uses air tubing attached to individual filters in an aquarium (including under-gravel filters) you will find these tubes and can measure their inside diameter.

The tube itself is 38". You must subtract the length of tubing that will go into the water container itself because the tube must reach the bottom of the container since the container stands upright with its opening topside for use. The tubing is standard 1/4" inside diameter tubing which you can purchase at any Home Depot or hardware store. So, it is easy enough to replace for a longer reach if needed. I have used it in a side pocket with the tube coming up and over my shoulder strap and find that is long enough in this instance to use with either a standard 1 liter platy or a 40 or 48 oz soft nalgene bottle

I was wondering did you get an answer to your post. I got the 4lb tub as well and now I am scared to use it.

I would just look for the reusable pouches that fill from the bottom...the holes on these pouches is so narrow you can only fill these with the silkiest of purees...other wise they clog or don't allow air to escape and shoot contents from the tops of the fill tubes. Wasted food, pouches, AND a mess to clean up.
