Enclosed Reels with Lightweight Air Hose
Protect your hose when it's not in use. Hose locks in place when pulled out of the reel, and retracts with a quick tug.
Polyurethane and Blended rubber hose stretches and flexes for easy maneuverability. Polyurethane rubber reel includes a mounting bracket that lets you rotate the reel up to 300°.

Hard Plastic Tubing for Vehicle Air Systems
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression and Push to Connect Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 65D)
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
Safely power seat controls, horns, and other vehicle parts with compressed air. This tubing meets SAE or D.O.T. testing and performance standards for use in air-powered vehicle systems. It’s opaque, so you can’t see what’s flowing through the line. Semi-flexible, it’s good for gradual bends.
Tubing that meets D.O.T. FMVSS 106 is rated for use in motor vehicle brake systems. It’s also known as air brake tubing.
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.
PVC plastic tubing is more economical than polyurethane rubber tubing.
Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line.
Abrasion-Resistant Firm Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
With excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing, this rubber tubing can hold up in rugged environments. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.
Polyurethane tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow through the line. Polyurethane tubing that is for use with air is ester based, so it should not be used with water or in humid environments. Polyurethane tubing that is for use with air and water is ether based, so it stays strong and durable even in wet environments.
Versilon polyurethane tubing can withstand lower temperatures than standard polyurethane and neoprene tubing. It was formerly known as Tygothane.
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.
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Hardness: Soft (Durometer 70A)
- Temperature Range: -40° to 140° F
Abrasion-Resistant Soft Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Soft (Durometer 45A)
- Temperature Range: -70° to 180° F
Thick, gum rubber walls give this tubing excellent abrasion resistance. It is opaque, so you can’t see what’s flowing through the line. Tubing is flexible to easily bend around objects.
Stainless Steel High-Pressure Barbed Tube Fittings for Air and Water
- Temperature Range: See table
- Tubing: Use with firm (Durometer 75A-95A) EVA plastic, polyethylene plastic, polypropylene plastic or PVC plastic
Fittings withstand pressures up to 250 psi. They are 303 stainless steel for very good corrosion resistance.
Metric, BSPP, and UN/UNF (SAE Straight) male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks. UN/UNF (SAE Straight) threads are also known as O-ring boss threads.

Screw-On Nut Barbed Tube Fittings for Air
- Temperature Range: 20° to 140° F
- Tubing: Fittings with Anodized Aluminum, Brass, or Nylon Plastic Material: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 95A-60D) polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
Fittings with 316 Stainless Steel Material: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 80A-95A) nylon plastic, polyethylene plastic or polyurethane rubber
You don’t need a clamp to secure these fittings to tubing. They have a nut on the barbed end that tightens to hold the tubing in place.
316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance, so they’ll hold up to water, salt, and chemicals.
