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.

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.
Tygon tubing has a nonabsorbing surface for improved flow and drainage.
Soft Plastic Tubing for Food, Beverage, and Dairy
The industry standard for general purpose food, beverage, and dairy applications, this tubing meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for food contact. Tubing doesn’t contain plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it. It has a nonabsorbing surface, which makes it easy to clean. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow through the line. It is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.
PVC tubing is the most economical option.
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Soft (Durometer 70A)
- Temperature Range: -10° to 160° F
Soft Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
Use this general purpose PVC tubing with a variety of chemicals. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow. It is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.
Tygon PVC tubing can withstand a wider range of chemicals than standard PVC tubing. It has a super-smooth interior that resists product buildup better than standard PVC.
UV-Resistant Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
Ultraviolet light won’t cause this tubing to degrade or deteriorate.
Teflon® FEP tubing can handle lower temperatures than standard FEP tubing. It also withstands a wider range of chemicals than standard FEP and TPE tubing.
Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.
Semi-flexible tubing is good for gradual bends.
Tubing that meets USP Class VI adheres to specifications for material testing; it is not for use in medical applications.
- See table for flexibility
- Compatible with Compression and Push to Connect Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 55D)
- Temperature Range: -300° to 400° F
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.
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Hard
- Temperature Range: 72° to 180° F
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.

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.
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.
