Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
This general purpose tubing has hard walls, yet is flexible enough for gradual bends. It has excellent strength and durability.
Nylon tubing can handle lower temperatures than polypropylene tubing and can withstand higher pressures. It has slightly softer walls than polypropylene tubing, making it more flexible and impact absorbent.
Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.

Flame-Retardant Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
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.

Choose-a-Color Firm Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
Multiple colors allow you to color-code your line for easy identification. Tubing is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.
Polyurethane rubber tubing can handle higher pressures than PVC plastic tubing and can also be used in vacuum applications. It is ether based, so it performs better in humid environments than ester-based polyurethane.
Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line. Clear tubing allows you to easily monitor flow.

Soft Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
This general purpose PVC tubing is the industry standard for air and water applications. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow. It is flexible to easily bend around objects.
Masterkleer tubing is more economical than Tygon tubing. Tygon tubing has a nonabsorbing surface for improved flow and drainage.

Static-Control Soft Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
Protect sensitive equipment with this tubing—it is specially formulated to reduce the buildup of static electricity.
Silicone rubber tubing has carbon embedded into the walls to divert static quickly. It can handle a wider temperature range than PVC tubing, and is more flexible, so it bends easily around objects. It is opaque, so you can’t see what’s flowing through the line.

UV-Resistant Soft Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
This tubing won’t degrade when exposed to the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. It is opaque, so you can’t see what’s flowing through the line.
PVC plastic tubing is the most economical option.
EPDM rubber tubing is the most flexible option. It has better durability than PVC tubing to stand up to harsh outdoor environments. It has excellent resistance to ozone as well as UV light.

Insulated High-Temperature Soft Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
- Flexible
- Soft (Durometer 65A)
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Temperature Range: -70° to 450° F
The lightweight, spongy walls provide more thermal insulation than standard silicone rubber tubing, so they won’t produce condensation when cold air or fluid runs through the tubing. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what’s flowing through the line. It is flexible to easily bend around objects.
