pvc tubing confusion

[romeo1]

I called my local hardware store again and made sure they had flexible pvc tubing.When I did the guy confused me.First he said that the tubing is bendable(I beleive that this means it is flexible tubing).I then asked if they had it in sizes 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 and he said that they had it in standard size.
Does anyone know what this means.He than asked if I had old pvc tubes.I told him that I was not sure and he said to come down and he would help me out.I dont know the first thing about pvc tubeing so I am dumbfounded about what he was asking me and telling me.Could someone please enlighten me on what he was asking for and what I should be asking or looken for when I go to check it out.Thanks in advance and sorry for the all the questions(I am going to build a uli thing if this helps any).

The stuff i got is usually found in coils. You can cut it with a utility knife. It is clear and you can get it with nylon braid running through it if making a hanger. Either one will work for the uli thing. Just ask for clear plastic tubing 1-1/2" should work fine.
I dont think you want the kind that is like a pipe (usually white).
Hope this helps.

romeo,

I don't know if you have a home depot, payless, lowes, whatever in your area. But any large hdware store will have many types of flexible pipe or tubing.

Just walk in the store, go up to a guy with an apron on, and ask him to direct you to the tubing or hose section. Tell him it is for swimming pool repair (or tell him you want to make your dick bigger). They will probably let you cut it yourself. Look at the selection, and pick one that looks strong, walls at least 1/4" thick, and 1 1/2" inside diameter. If this is too big, you can always cut it down. Buy a couple feet.

This is really no big deal. Just do it.

Thanks for the post guys.The only local hardware store I have is called ace hardware.It is a small store and though they sell almost everything,it is hard to find most things.The aisles are so small that it is hard for 2 people to walk down them and not run into eachother.

romeo,

I am not sure that ace would have it. They are a little different than the other stores I mentioned. Next time you go to a larger city, go to one of the large 'home improvement' stores.

I believe I can help clear up the confusion. The guys at the hardware stores usually assume that you want waste or rainwater pipe. The kind that is stiff and straight. It is hose that you need. Rural or farming outlets are more likely to stock it. Hope this helps.
