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.
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.

Run multiple tubing lines together without the hassle of cable ties or tape. This tubing comes joined for a clean, organized look. It's flexible enough to easily bend around objects without kinking. No matter how you twist, bend, or stretch this tubing, it returns to its original shape. Made of ether-based polyurethane, it has excellent resistance to tearing and abrasion and stays strong and durable, even in humid environments.
Single color tubing can't be separated. Opaque tubing does not let you see inside the line.
Self-Retracting Firm Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Firm (Durometer 95A)
- Temperature Range: -40° to 120° F
Keep your worksite safe and clutter free—this coiled polyurethane rubber tubing extends when you need it and retracts out of the way when you don’t. The material is ether based, so you’ll get the abrasion and tear resistance you’d expect from polyurethane, along with the ability to use it in humid environments. Tubing is flexible and bends easily around objects. It comes in multiple colors, so you can color-code your lines.
Clear tubing allows you to easily monitor flow. It has a colored tint. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line.
Note: Length refers to the length you can extend the tubing. Overstretching can cause the tubing to lose its ability to fully retract back to its normal state. Retracted length refers to the length of the tubing when coiled.

Corrugated Sleeving
Slide this sleeving over wire, cable, or hose before adding connectors or making electrical connections. The corrugated construction gives it impact and abrasion resistance similar to conduit, but with more flexibility. It’s ultra-flexible so it’s good for applications that require tight turns. Since it doesn’t have a slit, it keeps out more dust and debris than slit corrugated sleeving.
Steel sleeving is more impact resistant than stainless steel and aluminum sleeving, so it’s better for use in high traffic areas where equipment or people could bump into it.
Stainless steel sleeving is stronger and more corrosion resistant than steel and aluminum sleeving. It also withstands higher temperatures.
