D.O.T. Hard Plastic Tubing for Air
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression and Push to Connect Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 65D)
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
Also known as air brake tubing, this nylon tubing meets D.O.T. FMVSS 106 specifications for testing and performance requirements in motor vehicle brake systems. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what is flowing through the line. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

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.

Crack-Resistant Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 65D)
Made of resilient polypropylene, this tubing won’t crack due to stress or impact. Tubing is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

Weld-Spatter-Resistant Firm Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Push to Connect Tube Fittings
- Hardness:
Inch: Firm (Durometer 95A)
Metric: Firm (Durometer 90A) - Temperature Range:
Inch: -40° to 165° F
Metric: 0° to 140° F
Designed for use in welding applications, this tubing is specially formulated to self-extinguish. It’s made of ether-based polyurethane, so it has excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing and stays strong and durable in humid environments. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what is flowing through the line. It is semi-flexible, which is good for gradual bends.
To attach fittings, use a cutting tool (sold separately) to strip away the outer layers of tubing. The tube OD dimension refers to the inner layer of tubing. Attach a protective cover (sold separately) to prevent weld spatter from getting between the tubing and fitting.
Inch tubing has two layers of material. It meets UL 94 V-0 for better flame retardance than metric tubing. It can handle higher pressures and a wider temperature range than metric tubing.
