Clear Silicone Tubing for Peristaltic Pumps — Flexible, Food-Grade, Cut-to-Length

If you've ever dealt with cracked rubber tubing mid-run, a pump that won't prime, or tubing that leaves an aftertaste in your brew or lab sample — you know how critical the right hose is. This clear silicone tubing for peristaltic pumps is built for DIYers, lab technicians, homebrewers, aquarium enthusiasts, and small-scale food processors who need reliable, food-safe fluid transfer without the guesswork.

Each listing covers a single continuous length of clear silicone rubber tubing, available in inner diameter × outer diameter combinations ranging from 0.8*4mm (≈1/32" ID) up to 12.7*19.7mm (≈1/2" ID), and in cut lengths of 1 meter (≈3.3 ft), 2 meters (≈6.6 ft), 5 meters (≈16.4 ft), and 10 meters (≈32.8 ft). Wall thickness varies by size — for example, the 1*3mm variant has a 1mm wall, while the 6.4*11.4mm variant has a 2.5mm wall. Select the size that matches your pump head's specified tube bore.

Typical applications include peristaltic dosing pumps in aquariums and hydroponics, homebrew and winery transfer lines, laboratory fluid dispensing, food and beverage processing equipment, and medical device prototyping where flexible silicone pump tubing is required.

🔗 Compatibility Note: Match the Inner Diameter (ID) of this tubing to your pump head's specified tube bore. The outer diameter determines wall thickness and rotor fit. If unsure, check your pump's manual or contact us before ordering.

✅ Key Features of These Clear Silicone Peristaltic Pump Tubes

  • 🍽️Food-Grade Silicone Material — Non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless construction makes this tubing suitable for transferring drinking water, beverages, dairy, and other food-safe liquids without contamination risk.
  • 🌡️Wide Temperature Tolerance — Maintains flexibility and integrity across a broad range, typically from -60°C to +200°C (-76°F to +392°F), handling both refrigerated lines and steam-clean cycles without hardening or cracking.
  • 📏15 Diameter Options in 4 Lengths — With ID sizes from 0.8mm to 12.7mm and lengths from 1 to 10 meters, you can match this silicone pump tubing precisely to your peristaltic pump head specification and run length.
  • 🔍Crystal-Clear Transparency — The clear silicone construction lets you visually monitor fluid flow, detect air bubbles, and confirm priming without disassembling your pump setup.
  • ⚙️Flexible and Kink-Resistant — Silicone's inherent elasticity allows the tubing to compress and recover under peristaltic pump rollers repeatedly without fatigue cracking, extending service life compared to standard rubber hose alternatives.
  • 🧪Chemical Resistance for Lab and Industrial Use — Resistant to dilute acids, alkalis, and many aqueous solutions, making this flexible silicone hose a practical choice for laboratory dispensing, aquarium dosing, and light industrial fluid handling.

⚠️ Size Tip: The ID (inner diameter) must match your pump head's tube bore. The OD affects how the tubing seats in the rotor housing. When ordering for a replacement, measure your existing tubing or check your pump's specification sheet.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right inner diameter for my peristaltic pump?

Match the inner diameter (ID) to your pump head's rotor channel size. Typically, the tubing ID should equal the pump's specified tube bore. For example, a pump rated for 1mm ID tubing requires the 1*3mm variant. When in doubt, check your pump's manual or contact the manufacturer for the recommended tube ID. Using an ID that is too large or too small will affect flow rate accuracy and may damage the pump head.

What pressure and flow rates can this silicone tubing handle?

Silicone tubing of this type generally handles working pressures up to 0.3–0.5 MPa (43–72 psi) depending on wall thickness and diameter — thicker-walled, larger variants typically support higher pressures. Flow rate is determined by your pump's RPM and the tubing's inner diameter. Larger ID variants (e.g., 12.7*19.7mm) support higher flow volumes per revolution. Contact us to confirm specifications for your specific application.

Is this tubing safe for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical use?

Yes. This tubing is made from food-grade silicone that is generally non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless. It is typically suitable for transferring water, beverages, dairy, and other food-safe liquids without imparting flavor or odor. For pharmaceutical or medical-grade applications, please confirm compliance with your local regulatory standards (e.g., FDA 21 CFR, EU 10/2011) before use.

What temperature range can this silicone tubing withstand?

Food-grade silicone tubing of this type typically withstands continuous temperatures from -60°C to +200°C (-76°F to +392°F), making it suitable for both refrigerated fluid lines and steam-cleaning (CIP/SIP) applications. Short-term peak temperatures may be higher. Contact us to confirm for your specific use case if operating near these limits.

Can I use this tubing outdoors or in UV-exposed environments?

Silicone has good inherent UV and ozone resistance compared to standard rubber alternatives, making it generally suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged direct UV exposure over many years may cause gradual surface degradation. For long-term outdoor installations, consider shielding the tubing from direct sunlight where possible to maximize service life.

What is the wall thickness of each size variant?

Wall thickness is calculated as (Outer Diameter − Inner Diameter) ÷ 2. Examples: the 1*3mm variant has a 1mm wall; the 2*4mm variant has a 1mm wall; the 4.8*9.8mm variant has a 2.5mm wall; the 12.7*19.7mm variant has a 3.5mm wall. Thicker walls generally provide greater pressure resistance and longer pump life. See the variant selector for all available ID*OD combinations.

Is this tubing compatible with Watson-Marlow, Cole-Parmer, Masterflex, or other branded pump heads?

This tubing is designed as a universal replacement for standard peristaltic pump heads that accept round-bore silicone tubing. Compatibility with specific branded pump heads (Watson-Marlow, Cole-Parmer, Masterflex, etc.) depends on the pump's tube bore specification — match the ID listed in your pump manual to the correct variant. In most cases, if the ID and OD match the pump's spec, the tubing will fit and perform correctly.
