Food Grade Silicone Tubing — Clear, Flexible Hose for Beer, Milk & Beverage Lines

Homebrewers, dairy operators, and lab technicians know the frustration of tubing that taints flavors, cracks under heat, or fails to seal around pump fittings. This food grade silicone tubing is platinum-cured and engineered for direct contact with beer, milk, wine, and other consumables — giving you a clean, odor-free transfer line that holds up session after session.

Each piece is cut from clear, translucent platinum-cured silicone stock and is available in inner diameters from 2 mm (5/64") up to 38 mm (≈1.5"), with wall thicknesses that vary by size. Choose 1 m (≈39.4") for short runs or 5 m (≈196.9") for longer installations. The clear body lets you monitor flow and spot air bubbles or blockages at a glance.

Typical applications include homebrewing transfer lines and siphon hoses, peristaltic pump tubing for dosing and dairy systems, laboratory fluid handling, and food-processing lines where FDA and EC1935/2004 compliance is required. The tubing also works well as a soft rubber sleeve, grommet liner, or vibration-dampening hose in DIY and industrial builds.

Compliance & Approvals: Platinum-cured silicone — FDA, BFR, EC1935/2004 food-contact compliant & WRAS approved for potable water. Steam & gamma sterilizable. Suitable for peristaltic pumps.

✅ Key Features of These Food Grade Silicone Tubes

  • 🧪Platinum-Cured Formula — Unlike peroxide-cured silicone, platinum curing leaves no byproduct residue, so the tubing won't leach compounds into beer, milk, or wine — critical for taste-sensitive beverage transfer.
  • 🌡️Wide Temperature Tolerance — Remains flexible and functional from approximately -60 °C to +200 °C (-76 °F to +392 °F), handling everything from cold-side transfers to hot-side wort lines and steam sterilization cycles.
  • 🔍Clear Translucent Wall — The transparent body lets you visually confirm flow, detect air locks, and spot contamination without disconnecting fittings — a practical advantage in brewing and lab setups.
  • ⚙️Peristaltic Pump Compatible — The tubing's elastic memory allows it to rebound after repeated roller compression, making it a reliable choice for peristaltic pump tubing in dosing, dairy, and laboratory applications.
  • 📐Wide Size Range (ID 2 mm – 38 mm) — With over 50 ID×OD combinations available, you can match standard barb fittings, hose clamps, and grommet holes without adapters — from micro-dosing lines to large-bore transfer hoses.
  • 🛡️Multi-Standard Food Safety Compliance — Meets FDA (US), BFR (Germany), and EC1935/2004 (EU) food-contact material standards, plus WRAS approval for drinking water — covering the compliance requirements for most US and international food and beverage operations.

⚠️ Size Note: The ID×OD option name shows inner diameter × outer diameter (e.g., "8*12mm" = 8 mm ID, 12 mm OD, wall thickness 2 mm). If you need a specific wall thickness, calculate it as (OD − ID) ÷ 2. Contact us before ordering if you need to confirm fit with a specific fitting or pump head.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right ID and OD size for my application?

Match the inner diameter (ID) to the outer diameter of your fitting or barb. For example, a 1/4" (6.35 mm) barb fitting typically pairs with a 6 mm or 7 mm ID tube. The outer diameter (OD) determines how the tube fits through grommets or clamps. When in doubt, size the ID slightly smaller than the barb for a secure friction fit — silicone stretches to accommodate.

What pressure and temperature range can this silicone tubing handle?

Platinum-cured silicone tubing of this type generally handles continuous temperatures from -60 °C to +200 °C (-76 °F to +392 °F). Working pressure typically ranges from 30–100 PSI depending on wall thickness and diameter — thinner-walled or larger-diameter tubes generally have lower pressure ratings. Contact us to confirm specs for your specific variant.

Is this tubing safe for beer, wine, and dairy use?

Yes. This tubing is platinum-cured and compliant with FDA, BFR, and EC1935/2004 food-contact regulations, and is WRAS approved for potable water. It is widely used in homebrewing, commercial brewing, dairy lines, and winemaking. It does not impart taste or odor to liquids.

Can I use this tubing with a peristaltic pump?

Yes. This silicone tubing is confirmed suitable for peristaltic pumps. Its flexibility and resilience allow it to recover its shape after repeated compression by pump rollers, making it a reliable choice for dosing, brewing, and laboratory pump applications. Match the tube OD to your pump head's channel diameter for best results.

Can this tubing be sterilized?

Yes. This tubing is both steam and gamma sterilizable, making it suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, and laboratory environments where sanitation is critical. Autoclave at standard 121 °C (250 °F) cycles — the tubing generally withstands repeated sterilization without degrading.

How do I choose between the 1M and 5M length options?

Choose 1 m (≈39.4" / just over 3 ft) for short runs, repairs, or testing a new size before committing to a longer piece. Choose 5 m (≈196.9" / about 16.4 ft) for longer installations, full brewing setups, or when you need extra length for routing around equipment. Both lengths are cut from the same continuous stock.

Will this tubing crack or degrade outdoors or in UV-exposed environments?

Silicone generally offers better UV and ozone resistance than rubber or PVC tubing. For prolonged outdoor UV exposure, consider shielding the tube or using an opaque sleeve, as extended direct sunlight may gradually affect clarity over time. For indoor brewing, lab, and food-processing use, UV exposure is typically not a concern.
