FAQ
What is the difference between PVC pneumatic tubing and PU tubing?
PVC pneumatic tubing offers excellent chemical resistance and cost savings, with good flexibility for general use. PU tubing provides superior abrasion resistance and higher temperature tolerance but at a premium price. Choose PVC for standard air applications where budget is key.
Can PVC pneumatic tubing be used outdoors?
Yes, our UV-stabilized PVC pneumatic tubing withstands prolonged sun exposure without brittleness. For extreme conditions, opt for reinforced variants.
What fittings are compatible with this tubing?
It pairs seamlessly with metric push-to-connect fittings, brass barbs, and compression glands. Ensure ID matching for secure, leak-free connections.
Is custom sizing available for PVC pneumatic tubing?
Absolutely. We produce non-standard IDs, ODs, and lengths, including multi-tube bundles and colored stripes for coding.
How should PVC pneumatic tubing be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid kinking during coiling to maintain shape integrity.
What is the warranty on your PVC pneumatic tubing?
