Food Grade Clear Silicone Tube Beer Milk Hose Pipe Soft Rubber ID 0.5mm - 38mm

Match the tube's inner diameter (ID) to the outer diameter of your barbed fitting or the bore of your existing hose. For brewing, a 6mm–10mm ID is common for standard siphon and pump connections. For aquarium air lines, 4mm–6mm ID is typical. If you're replacing an existing hose, measure the fitting barb OD and select the same or 0.5mm–1mm smaller ID for a snug, leak-resistant fit.

Yes. The tubing is made from food grade silicone rubber, which is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. It does not leach plasticizers or impart off-flavors, making it a reliable choice for homebrewing transfer lines, milk hose runs, and drinking water connections. Always rinse new tubing before first use as a general best practice.

Silicone rubber typically withstands continuous service from approximately −60 °C to +200 °C (−76 °F to +392 °F). This makes it suitable for cold-side applications like refrigeration lines as well as warm-side uses such as wort transfer from a kettle. Avoid sustained exposure above 200 °C or direct open flame.

Silicone is significantly more flexible than PVC or polyurethane tubing and resists kinking under normal routing conditions. For very tight bends — especially in smaller bore sizes — use a gentle curve rather than a sharp fold. If kinking is a concern in a fixed installation, consider using an elbow fitting at the bend point to maintain full bore flow.

Wall thickness is the difference between the outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter (ID) divided by two. Thicker walls provide greater pressure resistance and structural rigidity, while thinner walls offer more flexibility. For each variant, the wall thickness can be calculated directly from the listed ID and OD values. For example, a 6mm ID × 8mm OD tube has a 1mm wall thickness on each side.

Yes. Clear silicone tubing is a popular choice for aquarium use because it is inert in water, flexible enough to route around tank equipment, and transparent so you can monitor flow and spot blockages. For standard aquarium air lines, a 4mm ID × 6mm OD size is commonly used. For canister filter hoses, larger bore sizes (12mm–16mm ID) are more appropriate.

All three lengths are the same tubing material and diameter — only the cut length differs. The 1M option suits short connections or sampling runs. The 5M length covers most homebrewing setups and aquarium installations. The 10M roll is cost-effective for larger projects, workshop plumbing, or when you need multiple runs from a single purchase. Lengths are cut to order, so there are no joins or splices.
