Description
This premium semi-rigid nylon tube is a high-performance solution for conveying air, water, oils and a wide range of chemicals in demanding environments. Manufactured from durable engineering-grade nylon, it offers an excellent balance of flexibility and rigidity, making it easy to route while maintaining shape and stability under pressure.
With outstanding chemical resistance, very low water absorption and a broad choice of sizes, coil lengths and colours, this nylon tubing is suitable for use in industrial automation, pneumatic systems, laboratories, process plants and vehicle installations. It provides a reliable, long-lasting alternative to softer hose where dimensional stability and clean, tidy routing are essential.
Product Features
- Available outside diameters from 4 mm to 10 mm, plus additional larger sizes for higher flow requirements.
- Matched inside diameters to suit common fittings and connectors, ensuring secure, leak-resistant installations.
- Supplied in convenient coil lengths including 2 m, 2.5 m, 3 m, 3.3 m and 4 m, as well as a wide choice of longer coils for extended runs.
- Offered in up to 30 colours for easy line identification, zoning, and visual management of complex systems.
- Semi-rigid nylon construction provides excellent shape retention while remaining flexible enough for controlled bends.
- High resistance to many industrial chemicals, oils and solvents for dependable performance in harsh environments.
- Low water absorption maintains stable dimensions and mechanical properties in humid or wet conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
- Maintains form and alignment in installations, reducing kinking and sagging compared with softer tubing.
- Excellent chemical compatibility helps extend service life and reduce maintenance in process and pneumatic systems.
- Low moisture uptake supports consistent flow characteristics and reliable operation over time.
- Wide range of diameters and coil lengths allows accurate sizing, minimising waste and simplifying stock management.
- Extensive colour options improve safety, fault-finding and circuit identification in busy plant and workshop environments.
- Smooth internal bore promotes efficient flow and helps minimise pressure drop in air and fluid lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this nylon tube be used with standard push-in pneumatic fittings?
Yes, the tube is manufactured to suit common outside diameters for standard push-in and compression pneumatic fittings. Always match the fitting size to the tube outside diameter and ensure it is rated for the operating pressure and medium.
Is the tube suitable for use with potable drinking water?
The tube offers low water absorption and good chemical resistance, but suitability for potable water depends on local regulations and required approvals. Check the material compliance and consult your safety adviser before using it for drinking water applications.
Can the tube be used outdoors and exposed to sunlight?
The nylon tube can be used outdoors; however, long-term UV exposure may affect performance over time. Where installations are fully exposed to sunlight, consider additional protection such as shielding, trunking or routing in shaded areas to maximise service life.
