Large-Diameter Thin-Wall Firm Rubber Tubing for Food, Beverage, and Dairy
- Flexible
- Firm (Durometer 80A)
- Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
Sized for vibrating sifters, screeners, hoppers, and packaging equipment, this tubing has a diameter of 4" or larger to handle a variety of bulk food processing applications. It is made of FDA listed materials. Free of plasticizers like DEHP, it won’t impart tastes or odors to the product passing through it. Tubing is polyurethane for excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing. The tubing material is ether based, so the tubing won’t degrade in humid environments. Tubing is clear, so you can see inside the line to monitor flow. It is flexible and bends easily around objects.
Tubing connects to fittings with a worm-drive clamp (sold separately).

Metal interlocked strips create a rigid, durable hose that stays strong under high temperatures. Hose is for use with smoke, welding fumes, and oil fumes.
Galvanized steel offers fair corrosion resistance.

Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
304/304L stainless steel contains less carbon than standard 304 for better weldability.
Seamless round tubes are more corrosion resistant than welded tubes because they don’t have a seam that could potentially introduce impurities.

Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Cast Acrylic Tubes
- Color: Clear
- Temperature Range: 0° to 150° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000-11,250 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.3-0.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M94-M100 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: See table
Fabricate containers, tanks, and lenses for light fixtures with these scratch- and UV-resistant cast acrylic tubes. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This material stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time.

Hook-and-Loop Wrap-Around Sleeving for Universal Robots
Organize and protect the cables and tubing on your Universal Robots arm without hindering its movement. This sleeving is made for Universal Robots arms, so you don’t need to measure, cut, or customize for a good fit. The hook-and-loop closure makes installation quick, and unlike cable ties, it’s easy to detach and adjust. Cables run through a separate channel, so you can access them without removing the sleeving from your arm. Made from polyurethane, this sleeving is flexible enough for cables and tubing to move easily, and durable enough to withstand continuous movement. It’s also lighter than hose carriers and conduit, so it won’t weigh down your robot arm. Each includes two pieces of sleeving.

Snap-In Pipe and Tubing Grommets
These grommets have two flanges that snap around holes and flex to compensate for misalignment and movement of pipe and tubing. They're often used for routing applications in panel walls. Made of plastic, these grommets are chemical resistant and won't dry out and become brittle when exposed to UV rays. All have a medium-hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. They can be used outdoors.
