I made one  months ago and used 5 mm tubing,I don't think it makes any difference in what size tubing you use,the bigger the hole is to feed the tube through the easier it's likily to break I think.

whats the rs counter never heard of it. and does that 1/4 hosetail fit a normal garden hose, as im going to use the mains tap for fascias and guttering.
cheers for the reply thou. that £8 for 25m sounds a bargain thou cheers.
