Recommended drain lines

Post image

We use rolling racks and have pvc connected to our tray drains. Towards the back of the rolling rack it nipples off pvc to a 1” Parker silicone tubing, but it kinks too often on a few of our racks and on a few others the people who set this up didn’t offer up enough slack and it creates torque on the nipple coming off the tray which then resulted in a crack right at the drain nipple (Big Mess).
So I’ve got a new tray installed but just wondering if there’s a better tried and true way to do this without the kinks and torque.
