Products
Flex GP70
Our most popular tubing, the Flex GP70 PVC tubing is ideal for general- purpose chemical transfer and other applications not subject to regulatory requirements. It is clear and flexible and resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Flex GP70 resists aging, has excellent wearability, a smooth inner wall and is easy to connect. It is also FDA CFR 21 compliant, making it suitable for use with foods and beverages.
Flex GP70B
Flex GP70B is similar to GP70, except black in color. This makes it more UV resistant and it doesn't promote algae growth. Recommended for outdoor applications, light-sensitive media, color coding of processing lines and as secondary containment of other lines.
BraidFlex 70N
BraidFlex 70N braided PVC tubing has embedded braids that prevent material entrapment and ensure easy cleaning. This tubing is transparent for visual flow monitoring and easy to bend in place. Recommended uses include transfer lines, higher-pressure lab, food and beverage applications and pneumatic circuitry. NOT recommended for vacuum applications. Use with insert/barbed fittings.
ClearFlex 60
ClearFlex 60 PVC tubing has crystal clarity and is soft and flexible, making it easy to slip over fittings. The smooth inner wall resists build-up and it has a tight bend radius. Recommended applications include peristaltic pumps, lab and research work, media transfer, food/beverage processing, condenser coolant lines and vapor transfer.
ClearFlex 60 Vacuum
ClearFlex 60 Vacuum PVC tubing utilizes an extra heavy wall to maximize performance in vacuum applications. ClearFlex 60 Vacuum withstands full vacuum (30" Hg) at room temperature and 26" Hg at 140°F. It is kink-proof and has excellent resistance to corrosive atmospheres.
ClearFlex 60 Metric
ClearFlex 60 Metric PVC tubing has all of the advantages of ClearFlex 60, but in metric sizes. It eliminates leaky connections typical of "close-to- size" English-measure tubing.
ClearFlex 70
ClearFlex 70 Premium PVC tubing is FDA CFR 21 compliant and meets USP Class VI, NSF-51, 3A and USDA standards. It is non-toxic and will not impart taste or odors. All of this makes it ideal for the transfer of foods, beverages, syrups, cooking oils, milk products and more. Dialysis, blood transfer, drainage lines and irrigation lines are some other uses.
FuelFlex 65
FuelFlex 65 PVC fuel tubing is a flexible and transparent yellow tubing designed for intermittent use with petroleum-based products. Recommended for use in the transfer of gasoline, heating oils and coolants and for use with fuel drain lines, vent tubes and overflow tubes.
