Extreme-Temperature Spiral Flexible Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Flexible
- Hard (Durometer 60D)
- Temperature Range: -450° to 500° F
Not only can this Teflon® PTFE tubing handle a wide temperature range, it also has a convoluted spiral design for good flexibility and smooth flow. It has a cuff on each end for smooth connections. Connect tubing to fittings with a worm-drive clamp (sold separately). Tubing has the chemical resistance to withstand a wide range of acids and other harsh substances. It meets USP Class IV for material testing; it is not for use in medical applications. Tubing meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance, so it delays the spread of flames to valuable equipment. It is semi-clear, so it gives you a limited view inside your line.

Insulated Copper Tubing
- Temperature Range: -290° to 220° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression and Solder Connect
Often used in heating and cooling systems, this tubing insulates refrigerant to efficiently transfer heat between components. It's frequently referred to as refrigeration and air conditioning tubing. This tubing consists of a copper tube insulated in rubber. The copper tubing resists corrosion and has excellent heat transfer qualities. The outer insulation has a closed-cell design, so it prevents moisture from seeping through and corroding the copper tubing. This tubing is generally rigid because of the copper tubing inside and is stronger than plastic and rubber tubing. Use it in medium- to high-pressure applications.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Round Tubes
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.
Tubes with 0.014" and 0.45 mm wall thicknesses allow you to create telescoping tubes; each tube fits inside the next larger size.

Extra Thermally Shock-Resistant Single-Closed-End SiAlON Ceramic Tubes
- Color: Gray
- Maximum Temperature: 1,830° F
- Fabrication: Fired
- Porosity: 0%
- Compressive Strength: 510,000 psi
Often used as a protective shield in thermocouples and other conditions with drastic climate changes, these SiAlON ceramic tubes won't deform, expand, or crack when repeatedly exposed to large temperature changes. Submerge the closed end of the tube into harsh settings, such as tanks and furnaces, to protect contents from coming into contact with harmful liquids and gases.
These tubes are stronger and resist thermal shock better than mullite and alumina, though they don’t remain as stable in ultra-high temperatures. They're not as hard as silicon carbide, so they shouldn't be used when wear resistance is necessary. Because they hold up to chemicals, they’re good for use with molten metal, such as aluminum and zinc. Similar to nonporous alumina, these tubes help seal out gas and liquids.
