Food Grade Silicone Tube Color Hose Beer Vacuum Pipe Soft Rubber ID 1mm 2mm-50mm

Match the tube's ID to the outer diameter of your barbed fitting. For a leak-free seal, the tube ID should be equal to or very slightly smaller than the barb OD so the silicone stretches slightly over the barb. If you are connecting to a threaded port, measure the bore of the port and select the closest ID. When in doubt, size down — silicone stretches, but an oversized tube will leak.

Yes. The tubing is made from food grade silicone rubber, which is non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless. It will not leach plasticizers or impart off-flavors to beer, wine, juice, or other consumables. It is widely used in homebrewing, food processing, and beverage dispensing applications.

The tubing is rated to +180 °C (+356 °F), which covers most hot-side brewing and food-processing tasks including wort transfer and hot-water rinsing. It is not rated for continuous steam sterilization at pressures above atmospheric — for autoclave or high-pressure steam applications, confirm the specific working pressure for your chosen size before use.

No. The lower temperature rating is -60 °C (-76 °F), so the tube remains flexible in freezer, cold-room, and outdoor winter conditions where PVC or rubber tubing would stiffen and crack. This makes it a reliable choice for cold-side beer lines and refrigeration-adjacent fluid routing.

Silicone tubing is generally preferred for homebrewing because it is odorless, tasteless, and does not contain plasticizers that can migrate into beer over time. It also tolerates a wider temperature range and is easier to sanitize. PVC tubing is less expensive but can absorb odors and flavors after repeated use and may not be rated for hot-side transfer. For long-term use in direct contact with wort or finished beer, silicone is the more durable choice.

Yes. Each unit is sold as a 1-meter length. You can cut it to any shorter length using a sharp utility knife or tubing cutter. A clean, square cut ensures the best seal against barbed fittings. If you need lengths longer than 1 meter, order multiple units and join them with an appropriately sized barbed coupler.

No. All 13 color variants use the same food grade silicone compound. The colorants are incorporated into the silicone matrix and do not affect temperature resistance, flexibility, or food-contact safety. Color selection is purely for identification and organization purposes — for example, color-coding CO₂ lines, water lines, and wort lines in a brewery setup.
