    How Much Kink Is Too Much?

    Im finally finishing my loop up, and going from my pa160 to pump its a pretty tight bend. Now there isnt a kink to the extent where the walls are touching each other, its actually not even a kink just the tubing isnt as round as a straight piece. Its very minimal but im worried this will cause a problem. How much is really a problem? I would take a pic but my phone camera sucks.

    no kink, even a little one is better...

    you could remedy or prevent it with a bunch of zip ties or smart coils if you want.
