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.
PVC tubing has harder walls than polyethylene tubing and can handle higher pressures. It meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for food contact. Tubing is rigid and will not bend. It is clear, so you can easily monitor flow.

Ultra-High-Vacuum Hose with Flanges
Often found in semiconductor manufacturing and other demanding industrial applications, this hose handles nearly perfect vacuum. Sharp edges on the flanges dig into a copper gasket (sold separately) as you bolt the flanges together, creating a tighter seal than fittings with a rubber gasket. This allows the hose to maintain the ultra-high vacuum necessary for vacuum coating, heat treating, leak testing, and analyzing gases. The flanges are commonly referred to as ConFlat (CF) and UHV fittings. Thanks to its ribbed interior, this hose is flexible enough to connect misaligned components. That's why it's also called a bellows. The ribbing reduces vibration between components, such as vacuum pumps, valves, and chambers. Both the hose and flanges are made of stainless steel, so they resist rusting.
One of the flanges rotates, so you can easily match up the bolt holes with another flange. Make sure your mating flanges are the same size as these flanges.
Bolt kits are required to make a complete connection.
