Description
This high-performance PTFE imperial tubing is engineered for demanding applications where exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and high temperature capability are essential. Manufactured in a natural, translucent finish, it provides clear visibility of media flow while maintaining outstanding dimensional stability and durability.
Ideal for use in laboratories, process plants, chemical handling systems and high-purity transfer lines, this flexible tubing is supplied in a range of imperial outside/inside diameter options and convenient coil lengths. Its excellent resistance to aggressive chemicals and elevated temperatures makes it a reliable choice for fluid, gas and pneumatic applications across a wide range of industries.
Product Features
- Constructed from high-performance PTFE for superior chemical and temperature resistance.
- Natural (unpigmented) colour for easy visual inspection of contents and flow.
- Available in a selection of imperial outside/inside diameters including 1", 3" and 5" options.
- Supplied in practical coil lengths of approximately 2", 4", 8", 16" and 32" for flexible installation.
- Low-friction bore for smooth flow and reduced pressure drop in fluid and gas lines.
- Flexible yet robust construction suitable for routing through confined spaces and equipment.
- Option variants available to suit different system requirements and connection formats.
Key Features and Benefits
- Outstanding chemical resistance helps ensure long service life when handling aggressive acids, alkalis and solvents.
- Low coefficient of friction reduces the risk of blockage and minimises energy losses in transfer systems.
- High temperature capability supports use in elevated process temperatures without softening or deforming.
- Non-stick, smooth internal surface aids cleaning, flushing and product changeover in hygienic applications.
- Flexible construction allows easy installation, routing and positioning around existing plant and equipment.
- Natural, translucent wall enables visual monitoring of media, helping with troubleshooting and process control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PTFE tubing suitable for use with aggressive chemicals and solvents?
Yes. PTFE offers excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, including many acids, alkalis and organic solvents. Always check compatibility with the specific chemicals and operating conditions in your system before use.
Can the tubing handle high temperature applications without deforming?
The tubing is made from PTFE, which is well known for its high temperature performance. It is suitable for many elevated temperature applications where standard plastic tubing would soften or deform, provided it is used within typical PTFE operating limits.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length for my installation?
Select the outside/inside diameter to match the flow rate required and the fittings or connectors in your system, using the available 1", 3" and 5" size options as a guide. Then choose a coil length that allows for the full routing path, including bends and service loops, from the available 2", 4", 8", 16" and 32" variants.
