1/2" Silicone Tubing For Flow

  • Sale
  • Regular price $12.00



  • The most outstanding properties of SILCON tubing are its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. These, plus its good electrical properties and ability to self-extinguish, make SILCON tubing an excellent choice for appliances and computers
  • Peroxide-cured SILCON contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating materials it contacts. It is extremely resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods.
  • Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps for SILCON as sharply barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the tubing wall and possibly cause a failure.
  • SILCON may be low-pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced.
  •  Please call or email Best Value Vacs to request different sizes and thickness (1/16" to 3/4"ID) - Colors for industrial applications are available through minimum order.
