Hard Plastic Tubing for Food and Beverage
Strong, hard walls give this tubing extra support in high-pressure and vacuum applications. It’s made of FDA listed materials, so it’s suitable for use with food and beverage. Free of plasticizers like DEHP, it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it.
Polyethylene tubing is semi-flexible and good for gradual bends, but it will crack if subjected to continual bending. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see inside the line.
PVC tubing has harder walls than polyethylene tubing and can handle higher pressures. It meets NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for food contact. Tubing is rigid and will not bend. It is clear, so you can easily monitor flow.

Continuous-Flex Soft Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Food, Beverage, and Dairy
Typically used in applications requiring movement, such as metering (peristaltic) pumps and robotics, this tubing can handle repeated bending and flexing. It's also suitable for use with food and beverage. Tubing doesn’t contain plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it.
PVC plastic tubing is the most economical option. It is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. Tubing is flexible and bends easily around objects.

Crack-Resistant Firm Plastic Tubing for Food and Beverage
This tubing offers superior impact and crack resistance—even at low temperatures. Made of FDA listed materials, it is suitable for use with food and beverage. It is made without plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.
EVA tubing has better flexibility than polyethylene tubing, so it bends more easily around objects. It has a polyethylene plastic liner.
Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.

Soft Plastic Tubing for Fuel and Lubricants
The industry standard for fuel and lubricant applications, this tubing can be used intermittently with petroleum-based products without becoming hard or brittle. Do not use with ethanol-based gasoline. It is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.
Tygon PVC tubing and tubing comparable to Tygon PVC can handle a wider temperature range than standard PVC tubing. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.
