    Default D&G Tubing and fittings.

    Who on Trader is using D&G tubing and fittings? I am considering trying their product and was wondering what others think of it. Thanks.

    Are you talking about 3/16" tubing? I used D&G's 3/16" tubing and will buy it again. As for the fittings, I talk with the sales people and they told me where they were getting the fitting from and I bought them direct.

    I use the D$G tubing for my drops. I also use some fitting from them as well and have had no problem.

    There is 500ft of tubing on the D&G 3/16 rolls. I bought and used 2 rolls and the stuff worked great. I had one spot about 8" that was overstretched (so much the diameter shrunk and the color changed a bit) but I an pretty sure that was my fault. Got a little more aggressive with it than I probably should have.

    I plan to buy more for the upcoming season. I think it was great.

    Disclaimer: I have only been at this a few years. This is my first experience with any 3/16 tubing. The only other tubing that I have ever used in the past was 5/16 lapierre rigid and semi-rigid.
    More taps than the year before. Bigger shack than the year before. Leader Patriot 2x6 w/hood. 3-post Dolly, but still too much sap and not enough wood or time.

    Spud,
    I have used quite a bit of D&G tubing and fittings. Usually buy a pallet of rigid every year for use as laterals. No problems.

    At maple mania Glenn Goodrich stated to use it for laterals for a little extra free vacuum on top of
