About Plastic and Rubber Tubing

Semi-Clear Tubing

Opaque Tubing

Semi-Flexible
Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
Hard (Durometer 65D)
Temperature Range: -100° to 180° F

Even without reinforcement, this polyethylene tubing withstands high pressures and will not collapse in vacuum applications. It has the chemical resistance to handle a variety of acids and other harsh substances. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.

Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view of what’s flowing through the line. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see inside the line.

Hard Plastic Tubing for Food and Beverage

Strong, hard walls give this tubing extra support in high-pressure and vacuum applications. It’s made of FDA listed materials, so it’s suitable for use with food and beverage. Free of plasticizers like DEHP, it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it.

Polyethylene tubing is semi-flexible and good for gradual bends, but it will crack if subjected to continual bending. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see inside the line.

Hard Plastic Tubing for Drinking Water

Tubing meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water. It is made without plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid running through it. A lightweight alternative to copper tubing, it connects to fittings with no heat or soldering required. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line.

Polyethylene tubing is compatible with Viega PEX tubing. It connects to barbed fittings with a crimping tool and crimping ring (both sold separately). Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends. It meets ASTM F876 and ASTM F877 specification and testing requirements for material quality and dimensions of polyethylene (PEX) tubing. It is IAPMO certified to comply with the International Association for Plumbing and Mechanical Officials product performance standards and the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) for installation and repair of plumbing systems.

Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

Flame-Retardant Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water

Tubing without Stripe

Tubing with Stripe

This tubing is self-extinguishing to delay the spread of flames to valuable equipment. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what’s flowing through the line. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

Polyethylene tubing can handle a wider temperature range than nylon tubing. It meets UL 94 V-2 for flame retardance and UL 1820 specifications and testing requirements for flame propagation and smoke density. It is designed for use in air control systems.

Tubing with stripe allows you to color-code your lines for easy identification.
