Description
This premium high-performance PFA imperial tubing is a clear, flexible hose solution designed for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. Manufactured from high-purity perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), it offers exceptional temperature and chemical resistance while maintaining excellent clarity for easy visual inspection of media flow.
Ideal for use in laboratories, chemical processing, pharmaceutical environments and other high-specification industrial settings, this flexible tubing provides reliable, long-term performance where conventional plastics may fail. Its combination of transparency, flexibility and durability makes it suitable for both temporary setups and permanent installations.
Product Features
- Available in popular imperial outside/inside diameters of 1" and 3" to suit a wide range of fluid transfer and process connections.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths of 2", 4", 8" and 16" equivalent runs, helping you minimise waste and match tubing length to specific system layouts.
- High-performance PFA construction offers outstanding resistance to aggressive chemicals, solvents and high-purity media.
- Clear, transparent wall allows quick visual inspection of flow, contamination, air bubbles and blockages.
- Exceptional flexibility makes routing through confined spaces and around equipment straightforward, reducing installation time.
- Option sets of 1, 3 or 5 pieces provide purchasing flexibility for one-off projects, small batches or larger repeat requirements.
- Smooth bore interior promotes consistent flow and reduces the risk of build-up or carry-over between processes.
Key Features and Benefits
- Handles elevated temperatures with ease, reducing the risk of softening, deformation or failure in high-temperature processes.
- Excellent chemical resistance helps maintain tubing integrity when exposed to acids, bases, solvents and other aggressive media, supporting longer service life.
- High purity and low extractables make this tubing suitable for sensitive applications where contamination control is critical.
- Flexible yet robust wall construction allows tight bend radii without kinking, simplifying installation and reconfiguration of systems.
- Clear construction supports rapid fault-finding and process monitoring, cutting downtime in laboratory and production environments.
- Imperial sizing ensures straightforward integration with existing fittings, couplings and legacy equipment specified in inches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PFA tubing suitable for use with highly corrosive chemicals?
Yes, the PFA material provides excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, including many acids, bases and solvents. Always check compatibility against your specific media and operating conditions before use.
Can the tubing handle high temperatures in continuous operation?
The tubing is designed for high-temperature environments and maintains its mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures. For critical applications, refer to your process temperature limits and derating guidelines to ensure suitable safety margins.
How do I choose the correct size and length of tubing for my system?
Select the imperial outside/inside diameter that matches your existing fittings and required flow rate, then choose a coil length (2", 4", 8" or 16" equivalent) that allows routing with minimal joins. Consider purchasing multi-piece options (packs of 3 or 5) if you are outfitting several lines or keeping spares on hand.
