How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

High-Pressure Firm Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
A braid reinforcement gives this tubing excellent strength in high-pressure applications.
EVA plastic tubing is the least flexible, but it has excellent crack resistance. Tubing is semi-clear, so it gives you a limited view of what’s flowing through the line.
Extreme-Temperature Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (Durometer 60D)
- Temperature Range: -100° 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.
High-Temperature and High-Purity Soft Rubber Tubing
Not only is this tubing cured with platinum for high purity, it can handle higher temperatures than any of our other high-purity soft tubing. It is free of plasticizers like DEHP and will not impart tastes or odors to the fluid running through it. Tubing is not for use in medical applications. It is semi-clear, so you get a limited view inside the line. Tubing is flexible and bends easily around objects.
Tubing with a polyester braid reinforcement has extra strength to withstand higher pressures than nonreinforced tubing.
- Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Soft (Durometer 60A)
- Temperature Range: -80° to 350° F
- Environment: Clean Room, Food Industry, Sanitary
- Environmental Rating: ISO Class 8
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI
Compression Fittings for Plastic Tubing—Chemicals
- For Use With: PFA Plastic: Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid
PTFE Plastic: Alcohol, Ammonia, Benzoic Acid, Bleach, Bromine, Coolant, Fluoboric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Nitric Acid, Organic Solvents, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid - Temperature Range: PFA Plastic: 0° to 350° F
PTFE Plastic: -40° to 185° F - Tubing: PFA Plastic: Use with hard (Durometer 50D-65D) PFA or PTFE plastic
PTFE Plastic: Use with hard (Durometer 60D) PFA or PTFE plastic
A sleeve (ferrule) compresses the tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. The nut and sleeve are included. Fittings are also known as flareless fittings. Fittings that include a gripper sleeve on the tubing create an even tighter seal.
PFA fittings stand up to harsh substances. They’re made through a melting process.
| For Tube OD | Material | Color | Max. Pressure | OD | Each | |

Corrugated Sleeving
Slide this sleeving over wire, cable, or hose before adding connectors or making electrical connections. The corrugated construction gives it impact and abrasion resistance similar to conduit, but with more flexibility. It’s ultra-flexible so it’s good for applications that require tight turns. Since it doesn’t have a slit, it keeps out more dust and debris than slit corrugated sleeving.
Steel sleeving is more impact resistant than stainless steel and aluminum sleeving, so it’s better for use in high traffic areas where equipment or people could bump into it.
Stainless steel sleeving is stronger and more corrosion resistant than steel and aluminum sleeving. It also withstands higher temperatures.
Aluminum sleeving is lighter than steel and stainless steel sleeving.
