Coloured Food Grade Silicone Tube Hose — Flexible Vacuum Tubing for DIY, Brewing & Lab Use

Finding a tubing solution that handles heat, stays odour-free, and comes in the exact bore you need is harder than it sounds — especially when standard hardware-store hose only comes in a handful of sizes and a single dull colour. This coloured food grade silicone tube hose is stocked in 19 colours and more than 60 ID × OD size combinations, so hobbyists, homebrewers, aquarium keepers, and lab technicians can match both the function and the aesthetic of their build without compromise.

Each metre of tubing is made from food-grade silicone rubber. Inner diameters run from 0.5 mm (approx. 0.02 in) up to 50 mm (approx. 1.97 in), with outer diameters sized to give a consistent wall thickness across the range. The tubing is sold by the metre, and multiple metres can be ordered to cover longer runs.

Typical applications include home-brewing transfer lines and racking canes, aquarium airline and CO₂ dosing circuits, vacuum pump connections and laboratory fluid transfer, DIY plumbing repairs where a flexible food-safe connector is needed, and colour-coded pneumatic or hydraulic pilot lines in workshop rigs.

⚙️ Compatibility note: Verify the ID and OD against your fittings before ordering. Silicone tubing stretches slightly, so a snug push-fit onto a barb fitting one size smaller than the ID is normal. Not rated for petroleum-based fluids or strong solvents.

✅ Key Features of These Coloured Food Grade Silicone Tubes

🍽️ Food-Grade Silicone Material
Made from silicone rubber that meets food-contact standards — tasteless, odourless, and non-toxic, making it suitable for brewing, food processing, and drinking-water lines.
🌈 19 Colour Options
Available in Transparent, High Transparent, Orange, Pink, Fruit Green, Black, Red, Yellow, Orange Red, Blue, Green, Deep Blue, Sky Blue, Clear Red, Fresh Green, Purple, Gray, Clear Blue, and White — ideal for colour-coded circuit identification.
📐 Wide Size Range
Inner diameters from 0.5 mm to 50 mm and outer diameters sized to match, covering micro-bore laboratory tubing through to large-bore industrial hose in a single product listing.
🌡️ Heat & Cold Resistance
Silicone tubing typically withstands continuous service from approximately −60 °C to +200 °C (−76 °F to +392 °F), handling autoclaving, hot-side brewing transfers, and freezer applications.
🔄 Flexible & Kink-Resistant
The soft silicone wall flexes around bends without collapsing the bore, maintaining consistent flow even in tight routing paths inside equipment enclosures or behind panels.
✂️ Sold by the Metre — Cut to Length
Each unit is one metre of continuous tubing. Order multiple units for longer runs. The consistent wall thickness makes clean cuts with scissors or a utility knife straightforward.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right inner diameter (ID) for my fitting?

Measure the outer diameter of the barb or nipple you are connecting to. For a secure push-fit seal, select a silicone tube whose ID is equal to or up to 1–2 mm smaller than the barb OD — silicone stretches to grip the fitting. If you need a slip-fit for easy removal, match the ID to the barb OD exactly.

Is this tubing safe for home brewing and food contact?

Yes. The tubing is made from food-grade silicone rubber, which is tasteless, odourless, and non-toxic. It does not leach plasticisers or impart flavour to liquids, making it suitable for wort transfer, wine racking, and drinking-water lines. Always rinse new tubing before first use.

What temperature range can this silicone tubing handle?

Silicone tubing of this type typically handles continuous service from approximately −60 °C to +200 °C (−76 °F to +392 °F). It can withstand brief autoclaving cycles and hot-side brewing transfers. Avoid prolonged exposure above 200 °C or contact with open flame.

Will the coloured tubing fade or discolour over time?

Silicone pigments are generally UV-stable and do not bleed into fluids under normal use. Some very light colours (white, clear variants) may show slight yellowing after extended high-temperature exposure, but this is cosmetic and does not affect performance. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong oxidising agents.

Can I use this tubing for aquarium CO₂ or airline systems?

Yes. The smaller ID sizes (1–6 mm) are well suited to aquarium airline, CO₂ diffuser lines, and dosing pump circuits. Silicone is slightly more gas-permeable than rigid PVC, which is acceptable for most planted-tank CO₂ setups. For very long CO₂ runs where gas loss is a concern, keep runs short or use a larger-bore tube.

How do I cut the tubing cleanly without crushing the bore?

Use a sharp pair of scissors or a fresh utility knife blade. Place the tubing on a flat surface and make a single decisive cut perpendicular to the tube axis. Avoid sawing back and forth, which can deform the soft wall. For very small ID sizes (under 2 mm), a razor blade on a cutting mat gives the cleanest result.

Is this tubing compatible with vacuum pump connections?

Silicone tubing handles moderate vacuum levels well for most laboratory and DIY applications. For sustained deep vacuum (below −0.8 bar), select a wall thickness of at least 2–3 mm relative to the ID to prevent collapse. If in doubt about your specific vacuum rating, contact us to confirm the appropriate size.
