Thinking about purchasing main line (1.25 & 3/4 BLUE)from CDL. Was looking for personal experiences with it? I'm currently using all D&G tubing.

I just started using D&G mainline this year on 1200 new taps I added. Before that, it was all CDL mainline. I actually like the D&G better after using it. Installed 5000' and just ordered another 7500'. The D&G is a little more flexible(not quite as rigid). The manifolds seem to conform better to it and it doesn't get oblong in certain spots. I think over time the manifolds will stay sealed better. Also retains memory better if a tree falls on it and goes back to the original shape better.

Decided to try CDL HO Mainline. Bought 1000' of 1 1/4" and 4000' of 3/4, $1000. Hung and tied the first 500' of 1 1/4" yesterday afternoon. First thing I noticed was how slippery the pipe. It's more consistant on roundness. It also seems easier to unspool, and is much more rigid. The shade of CDL's blue is real light (almost transparent) compared to D&G's dark blue.

Thanks for the replies.
