About Plastic and Rubber Tubing

This general purpose PVC tubing is the industry standard for air and water applications. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow. It is flexible to easily bend around objects.

Masterkleer tubing is more economical than Tygon tubing.

Also known as air brake tubing, this nylon tubing meets D.O.T. FMVSS 106 or D.O.T. FMVSS 49 specifications for testing and performance requirements in motor vehicle brake systems. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see what is flowing through the line. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

Hard (Durometer 60D)
Temperature Range: -450° to 500° F

Run acids, coolant, and other harsh chemicals through this PTFE tubing over a wide range of temperatures. It has a smooth interior for unrestricted flow and easy cleaning. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends. Not for use in medical applications.

Teflon® PTFE tubing meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance, so it delays the spread of flames to valuable equipment.

Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.

Soft Plastic Tubing for Chemicals

Use this general purpose PVC tubing with a variety of chemicals. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow. It is flexible, so it bends easily around objects.

Tygon PVC tubing can withstand a wider range of chemicals than standard PVC tubing. It has a super-smooth interior that resists product buildup better than standard PVC.

Lightweight Soft Plastic Tubing for Food, Beverage, and Dairy

Semi-Flexible
Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
Soft (Durometer 70A)
Temperature Range: -60° to 180° F

Lighter than other plastic and rubber tubing, but extremely tough, this TPE plastic tubing stands up to the wear and tear of daily use. It’s made of FDA listed materials, so it’s suitable for use with food and beverage. Since it doesn’t contain plasticizers like DEHP, it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line to monitor flow. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.

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.

Chemical-Resistant PVC 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. These tubes are oversized on the outside and undersized on the inside to allow for finishing to the sizes listed.

Tensile Strength: 7,090-7,750 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 1-2 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell R118-R119 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: UL 94 5VA, UL 94 5VB, UL 94 V-0

Just as resistant to acids and alkalies as PVC, yet CPVC withstands higher temperatures. Use these tubes to protect wires and cords from chemicals, or make them into parts for chemical-processing applications. They are easy to thermoform, plus they’re excellent electrical insulators. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized to allow for finishing to the sizes listed.
