Use 5mm and keep it short. No more than 6 to 7 inches overall length. If you are using my Reusable Mercury Traps you don't have to count that as part of the length because it is much larger diameter and does not restrict flow nearly as much as tubulation. The shorter the tubulation is the faster the unit will pump down.
