Description
This premium semi rigid nylon tube is manufactured from high-viscosity Nylon 12, offering an excellent balance of flexibility and strength for demanding fluid and air transfer applications. Its semi rigid construction ensures good dimensional stability while still allowing for easy routing around equipment and within confined spaces.
Designed for use in industrial, automotive, pneumatic and process environments, this tubing provides outstanding chemical resistance and low moisture absorption, making it a reliable choice for long-term installations. Available in multiple outside/inside diameter combinations and coil lengths, it can be tailored to suit a wide variety of flow rates and system layouts.
Product Features
- High-viscosity Nylon 12 construction for a robust, semi rigid tube with controlled flexibility.
- Available outside/inside diameters including 1", 3" and 5" options to suit different flow and connection requirements.
- Choice of coil lengths such as 2", 4", 8", 16" and 32" to minimise waste and simplify installation planning.
- Multiple size variants including 0.062" pack of 2, 0.075" pack of 2, 0.096" pack of 2, 0.107" and 0.117" diameters, plus a wide range of additional options.
- Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents and many industrial chemicals.
- Low moisture absorption helps maintain dimensional stability and consistent performance over time.
- Smooth internal bore supports efficient flow and helps reduce pressure drop in pneumatic and fluid systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable in harsh environments thanks to Nylon 12’s superior chemical and abrasion resistance, reducing the likelihood of premature failure.
- Semi rigid yet formable tubing makes routing neat and secure, helping to avoid kinks and sharp bends that can restrict flow.
- Wide range of diameters and coil lengths enables close matching to system requirements, helping to optimise performance and material usage.
- Low water uptake and good temperature stability support consistent operation in humid or fluctuating temperature conditions.
- Lightweight construction eases handling and installation while adding minimal load to equipment and frameworks.
- Compatible with many standard push-in, compression and barbed fittings when correctly sized, supporting straightforward integration into existing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this nylon tube be used with standard push-in and compression fittings?
Yes, the tubing is compatible with many standard push-in, compression and barbed fittings, provided that the fitting size matches the outside diameter of the tube and the manufacturer’s installation guidelines are followed. Always verify dimensional compatibility before assembly.
Is this Nylon 12 tube suitable for use with all chemicals and fuels?
The tube offers excellent chemical resistance to many oils, fuels, hydrocarbons and common industrial chemicals, but it is not universally resistant. You should always check the specific chemical compatibility of Nylon 12 with the media, temperature and operating conditions of your application before use.
Can the semi rigid nylon tube be bent without kinking?
The semi rigid construction allows the tube to be gently formed and routed without kinking when used within its recommended bend radius. For tight bends, support the tube during installation and avoid sharp corners to maintain internal bore integrity and consistent flow.
