High-Pressure Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
Excellent strength and durability allow this tubing to handle high-pressure air and water applications.
Nylon tubing can handle higher pressures than polycarbonate tubing. It won’t crack even at low temperatures. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line. Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line.
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Fittings, Push to Connect Tube Fittings or both; see For Connection Style

High-Temperature Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving
This sleeving is often used to insulate connections in transformers, relays, and solenoids. It prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. When exposed to flame, it will self-extinguish and produce a nonconductive ash. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Made of silicone-coated fiberglass, it resists chemicals.
Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving
Add a layer of insulation to prevent electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. This sleeving is often used in motors, transformers, and generators. Made of coated fiberglass, it resists abrasion, acids, alkalies, and chemicals.
Acrylic-coated sleeving is more flexible than vinyl-coated sleeving, so it bends around tight corners. It resists solvents and oil.
Vinyl-coated sleeving resists wax and alcohol. Sleeving is flame-rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Chemical-Resistant Tube Sleeving
Made of PVC, this sleeving resists chemicals, oil, and acids. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.
