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.

Flexible Kink Absorbers for Air and Water Hose
- Temperature Range: -25° to 350° F
Reduce sharp bends at the end of air and water hose that block flow and damage the hose. These kink absorbers support the connection between the hose and fitting. To install, push these kink absorbers over hose before attaching a fitting. If you’re having trouble getting them onto your hose, lubricate with soapy water. Once you’ve put on a fitting, slide these absorbers back toward the end of the hose, securing them over the fitting’s connection point.
Choose a kink absorber with an ID that is the same or slightly smaller than your hose's OD. Use with crimp-on ferrules or with push-on hose fittings; the end will not stretch over most hose clamps.

Tight-Tolerance Hardened 440C Stainless Steel
With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance. 440C is one of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating. This material maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 800° F.
Tubes are also known as precision shim bushing stock. Use them to decrease a shaft diameter or increase a rod diameter. They are sized so that each tube fits into the next larger size to create a telescoping tube.

Chemical-Resistant Spiral Sleeving
Made of PTFE, this sleeving has excellent resistance to chemicals, acids, salt water, and solvents. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. A reusable alternative to tape and cable ties, it allows you to route wire and cable between the spirals.
Self-Extinguishing Spiral Sleeving
With a self-extinguishing additive, this sleeving will not produce fumes when exposed to open flame and high temperatures. Made of nylon, it also has good abrasion resistance. A reusable alternative to tape and cable ties, it allows you to route wire and cable between the spirals.
UV-resistant sleeving absorbs UV light, so it can be used in direct sunlight without getting damaged.

Slotted Spiral Sleeving
With a unique overlapping link structure, you can open and close this sleeving like a zipper using the included tool. The tool’s open design and the slots in the sleeving make it easy to branch off wires from your bundle as you’re zipping it shut. Thanks to its structure, this sleeving is better at resisting wear and tear than standard spiral sleeving. There are also no pinch points when it bends and flexes, so it’s great where there’s a lot of movement and vibration. Unlike cable ties and tape, it can be unwound and reused. Made of polypropylene, it resists chemicals and solvents.
As your setup changes, you can use the installation tool to add wire, cable, or hose to your sleeving without having to disassemble or move your equipment. That makes this sleeving ideal where frequent repair is necessary.
Note: The installation tool only works with slotted spiral sleeving, not other types of spiral sleeving.

High-Temperature Grommets
These flexible grommets withstand temperatures of 450° F or greater, which is approximately twice as high as our standard grommets. Push them into place to protect wire, cable, and cords by turning rough-edged and uneven holes into smooth, insulated holes. Commonly used in metal panels, they also damp vibration. All of these grommets can be used outdoors.
Grommets that meet both MIL-G-3036 and NASM3036 resist hot petroleum-based oil and coolant.
Grommets that meet MS35489, AN930, and AN931 adhere to military dimensional standards.
Silicone grommets withstand a wider range of temperatures, but are not as chemical resistant as fluoroelastomer. They have a medium hardness rating, which offers a balance of cushioning and impact resistance.
