5" Tubing | McMaster-Carr

With a diameter of 2" or larger, this tubing has the girth to handle high-volume beverage and bulk food processing applications. It has excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Tubing is made of FDA listed materials. It doesn’t contain plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the product passing through it. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line to monitor flow.

Tubing connects to fittings with a worm-drive clamp (sold separately).

Gum rubber tubing holds up under lower temperatures than neoprene rubber tubing. It is best suited for dry foods. Tubing is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.

Rigid
Compatible Clamps: U-Bolt Clamps
Max. Temperature: Galvanized Steel: 550° F; Aluminum: 450° F; 304 and 316 Stainless Steel: 1000° F

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.

Aluminum is lighter than steel and has good corrosion resistance.

304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.

Compatible Clamps: Worm-Drive Clamps
Temperature Range: -100° to 435° F

Unlike fabric duct hose, this lightweight aluminum hose can bend around corners and hold its shape. Hose is not for continuous flexing. One end of the hose is crimped; insert the crimped end into another piece of duct hose and secure with a clamp to create longer lengths. The hose may need support once the length exceeds 6 feet.

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.
