PJDX-C Replacement Tubing in 100, 200, and 300 ft Lengths
Overview
The tubing wears out before the machine does. After enough runs through service lines, the Magikist 5/16" red tubing that ships with the PJDX-C picks up kinks, abrasion marks from pipe joints, and stiffness from repeated cold cycling. When it stops feeding smoothly or shows visible damage, it needs replacing. Magikist de-icer tubing in the 5/16" red is the standard pipe thawing tubing for the PJDX-C, and Cleanflow stocks it in 100, 200, and 300 ft lengths so crews can match the reel to the service line depth.

Key Features
- 5/16" bore is the standard Magikist diameter, delivering more hot water per minute than the narrower 1/4" black tubing. This is the pulse jet de-icer tubing that ships with every new Magikist PJDX-C machine.
- Red color stands out against snow, ice, and dark pavement, making the Magikist 5/16 red tubing visible during curb-side operations in low-light winter conditions.
- Built to resist kinking, abrasion from pipe joints, and cold stiffening through repeated thawing seasons. Replace when the tubing shows cracks, permanent kinks, or no longer feeds smoothly through the probe head.
How to Choose Tubing Length
The right length depends on how far the frozen section sits from the curb stop.
The 100 ft reel handles most urban residential service lines, where the curb-to-building distance is typically under 80 feet. This is the length that ships standard with the PJDX-C.
The 200 ft reel covers longer rural service connections and deeper-set buildings where the water main sits farther from the structure. It also works for crews who want a pre-loaded spare reel ready to swap without rewinding.
The 300 ft reel reaches the longest municipal service lines.

FAQs
What length de-icer tubing do I need?
Measure or estimate the distance from the curb stop to the building. Add 20 feet for slack and routing. Most urban residential lines need the 100 ft reel. Rural lines, deep-set connections, and crews who want a pre-loaded spare reel should consider the 200 ft or 300 ft options.
What is the difference between Magikist 5/16 vs 1/4 tubing?
The 5/16" red is the standard diameter with more flow. The 1/4" black is narrower for tight-access pipes and smaller service lines. Both connect to the same PJDX-C machine with their corresponding probe tips (PJD45B for 5/16", PJD45A for 1/4").
How often should I replace de-icer tubing?
Replace when the tubing shows cracks, permanent kinks, soft spots, or no longer feeds smoothly through the probe head. Most crews inspect tubing at the start of each thawing season and replace any reel that shows visible wear. Keeping a spare reel loaded avoids downtime on callouts.
