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.

Crack-Resistant Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 65D)
Made of resilient polypropylene, this tubing won’t crack due to stress or impact. Tubing is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 65D)
- Temperature Range: -100° to 180° F
Even without reinforcement, this polyethylene tubing withstands high pressures and will not collapse in vacuum applications. It has the chemical resistance to handle a variety of acids and other harsh substances. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.
Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view of what’s flowing through the line.

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.
Polyethylene tubing can withstand lower temperatures and higher pressures than EVA tubing.
Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.

Wear-Resistant Nylon Tubes
- Color: Off-White
- Temperature Range: -40° to 165° F
- Tensile Strength: 11,200-12,300 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.6-1.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R108-R121 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM D6779, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1500, UL 94 HB
Because these wear-resistant nylon 6/6 tubes have a slippery surface that reduces friction, they’re often machined into bearings, gears, and valve seats.

Spiral Sleeving
Wrap this sleeving around cable, cords and wires to protect them and to form bundles. Unlike cable ties and tape, this sleeving can be unwound and reused.
Polyethylene sleeving holds up under rubbing and scraping, and won’t degrade in solvents. However, it is not as soft as silicone rubber sleeving, and does not provide as much cushioning. This sleeving has been tested by UL to meet nationally recognized industry and safety standards for use in electronic systems.
UV-Resistant Spiral Sleeving
This sleeving absorbs UV light, so it can be used in direct sunlight without getting damaged. Made of polyethylene, it resists abrasion and solvents. A reusable alternative to tape and cable ties, it allows you to route wire and cable between the spirals.

Arc-Resistant GPO3 Fiberglass Round Tubes
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -50° F to 265° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000-15,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 8.2-12 ft.-lbs./in. (Excellent)
- Hardness: Rockwell M95 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
Use these round GPO3 fiberglass tubes for electrical applications in humid environments. They are arc and track resistant, plus they have better electrical insulation properties than FRP fiberglass. Made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester, they're also called polyester-grade industrial laminate.

Split Grommets
A slit in the side of these grommets allows you to install them around wire, cable, and cords that are already in place. They snap into the hole and their wings hold them tight. Use them to turn rough-edged and uneven holes into smooth, insulated holes. Made of plastic, these grommets are chemical resistant and won't dry out and become brittle when exposed to UV rays. All have an extra-hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. They can be used outdoors.

Fabric Grommets
Press these grommets into a hole you've already cut. They strengthen and prevent holes from fraying in tarps, covers, and curtains. They also provide a way to run rope and cable through your material. Use a cutting punch (sold separately) to create the hole, then set the grommet using either an installation punch or a press (both sold separately). Grommet trade size refers to the hole size and the size of the installation tool needed. All of these grommets can be used outdoors.
Grommets that meet NASM16491 and NASM20230 adhere to military dimensional standards.
Brass grommets are strong and have good corrosion resistance. Nickel-plated brass grommets have more corrosion resistance than brass grommets.
Hammer-driven cutting punches create holes for installing grommets when you strike them with a wooden or rawhide mallet. Hammer-driven installation punches set grommets in a hole when you strike them with a wooden or rawhide mallet.
