Food Grade Green Silicone Tube Beer Milk Flexible Hose Pipe Soft Rubber 1mm-25mm

Match the inner diameter (ID) of the tube to the outer diameter of your barb fitting or nipple. For a snug, leak-resistant seal, the tube ID should be equal to or very slightly smaller than the barb OD — silicone's elasticity creates a compression fit. For example, a 6 mm barb typically pairs well with a 6 mm ID tube from this range.

Yes. The tube is made from food-grade silicone rubber, which is odorless, tasteless, and free of BPA and plasticizers. It will not impart off-flavors to beer, wine, milk, juice, or other food-contact liquids. Always rinse with clean water before first use.

The tube is rated up to +180 °C (+356 °F), which covers typical wort transfer temperatures (around 100 °C / 212 °F). It is not intended for sustained steam-under-pressure applications. For gravity or pump-assisted hot-side transfers at atmospheric pressure, it performs reliably.

No. The lower temperature rating of –60 °C (–76 °F) means the tube remains flexible in freezer environments, cold rooms, and outdoor winter installations. Unlike PVC tubing, silicone does not become brittle at low temperatures.

Wall thickness equals (Outer Diameter – Inner Diameter) ÷ 2. For example, the 4×8 mm variant has a wall thickness of 2 mm; the 10×14 mm variant has a wall thickness of 2 mm as well. Larger sizes such as 25×31 mm have a 3 mm wall. Refer to the variant selector for the exact ID × OD combination you need.

Yes. Silicone tubing is the standard material for peristaltic pump heads because it recovers its round cross-section quickly after each compression cycle. Select the ID that matches your pump's rotor specification — common peristaltic pump sizes in this range include 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm ID.

Use a sharp utility knife or scissors on a flat surface. A clean, perpendicular cut ensures a flush seal against barb fittings. Avoid sawing motions that can leave ragged edges. If you need a very precise cut on larger diameters (16 mm+), a pipe cutter with a rubber-tube blade works well.

Silicone has good resistance to dilute acids, alkalis, and common sanitizers (such as Star San or iodophor solutions used in brewing). It has limited resistance to concentrated solvents like acetone or toluene. For standard food-equipment cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures with caustic or acid wash at recommended concentrations, the tube performs well.
