Chemical-Resistant PVC Round Tubes

When working near chemicals such as acids and alkalies, these tubes offer 360° protection to wires, cords, and anything that can slide through them. They’re made of PVC Type 1, a material that’s easy to thermoform, plus it is an excellent insulator.

Oversized Tolerance—Oversized tubes have an oversized OD and an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.
