Ultra-Flexible Coolant Hose
- Temperature Range: -50° to 255° F
- Maximum Vacuum: 29" of Hg @ 72° F
- Material: EPDM Rubber
- Color: Black with Blue Stripe
- For Clamp Type: Worm Drive
Bend this hose in any direction and it won’t kink, even when routed through tight spaces. More flexible than any other coolant hose we offer, it can be used in place of formed hose given its tight bend radius and high temperature rating. The hose remains flexible yet strong because it is reinforced with a steel wire, so it won’t collapse when used with suction or vacuum. The steel wire also diverts static discharge to the ground. It is often used with coolant, water, and air. Its EPDM construction resists oil and chemicals.
Tested for performance and durability, this hose meets SAE J20R2-D1. It has also been safety tested for flame resistance and meets UL94 HB.
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.
Neoprene tubing can handle higher temperatures than polyurethane tubing. It meets ASTM E162 specifications for surface flammability. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what’s running through the line.
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.
Super-Soft Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Soft (Durometer 40A)
- Temperature Range: 0° to 150° F
Stretch it, bend it, compress it—this tubing will spring back to its original shape. Made of latex rubber, it has a super-soft texture, yet offers excellent abrasion resistance. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what’s running through the line.
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.
General Purpose Aluminum Tubing
- Temperature Range: -450° to 400° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Flared
This tubing is lightweight with good corrosion resistance and weldability. It has magnesium and silicon added for strength. Tubing is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It can be flared without splitting.
Quick-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Aluminum Tubing
- For Use With: Air
- Specifications Met: ISO 2861
For use in high-vacuum systems, these fittings use a metal reinforced O-ring to create an airtight seal. To form a complete connection, pair two adapters with a clamp and a ring (all sold separately). Made of aluminum, these fittings are lightweight and resist corrosion. This and the airtight seal make them a good choice for vacuum coating, heat treating, or leak testing. Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings.
- Temperature Range: 0° to 300° F
- Tubing: Use with aluminum

Connect quick-clamp fittings in high-vacuum applications. Clamps tighten by hand. They are aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance.
Lever clamps are also known as toggle clamps.
Clamps with lanyard let you secure the clamp to equipment.

Valves are also known as vacuum isolation valves. They connect to a vacuum system so you can install gauges, release gases, and remove air. They operate manually and have a compact body that fits easily into tight spaces.
