Food Grade Silicone Tubing — Flexible Rubber Hose for Fluid Transfer, Brewing & Lab Use

Whether you're routing coolant in a DIY project, building a homebrewing setup, or replacing worn hose lines in a peristaltic pump, finding tubing that won't crack, kink, or leach chemicals into your fluid is a real challenge. Standard PVC tubing stiffens in cold temperatures and degrades with heat; latex hoses can trigger allergies and break down over time. This food-grade silicone tubing is engineered to stay flexible and reliable across a wide range of conditions.

Each piece is cut from solid food-grade silicone rubber and is available in 27 Inner Diameter × Outer Diameter combinations — from 0.5mm×1mm (≈0.02"×0.04") up to 25mm×31mm (≈0.98"×1.22") — and in five lengths: 1M (≈39.4"), 2M (≈78.7"), 3M (≈118.1"), 5M (≈196.9"), and 10M (≈393.7"). The wall thickness varies by size, giving you options from ultra-fine capillary tubing to robust hose for higher-flow applications.

Typical use cases include homebrewing and winemaking transfer lines, aquarium and fish tank air/water hose, peristaltic pump tubing for lab or medical equipment, automotive coolant overflow hose, and DIY vacuum or pneumatic lines where a flexible silicone vacuum hose is needed. The red color makes routing easy to trace in complex builds.

ℹ️ Compatibility Note: This tubing connects via slip-fit over barb fittings. Select an ID that matches your barb's outer diameter for a secure seal. Not compatible with threaded NPT or BSP fittings without an adapter.

✅ Key Features of These Food Grade Silicone Tubes

  • 🌡️Wide Temperature Range — Rated from -60°C (-76°F) to 180°C (356°F), this flexible silicone hose stays pliable in freezer environments and holds up under steam or high-heat fluid transfer without hardening or cracking.
  • 🍺Food-Grade Silicone Material — Made from odorless, tasteless, non-toxic silicone rubber, making it suitable for homebrewing transfer hose, aquarium air line tubing, and food processing applications where material safety matters.
  • 📐27 ID×OD Size Options — From 0.5mm×1mm capillary tubing up to 25mm×31mm large-bore hose, covering a broad range of barb fitting sizes for peristaltic pumps, lab equipment, and plumbing connections.
  • 📏5 Length Options (1M–10M) — Choose the exact run length you need — 1M, 2M, 3M, 5M, or 10M — reducing waste and letting you buy only what your project requires for a single connection or a full loop.
  • 🔄Kink-Resistant Flexibility — The soft silicone wall resists kinking even at tight bend radii, maintaining consistent flow in aquarium hose routing, under-cabinet plumbing, and compact DIY builds where rigid tubing won't fit.
  • 🧪Chemical & UV Resistance — Silicone is generally resistant to water, dilute acids, alcohols, and UV exposure, making this tubing a reliable choice for outdoor garden irrigation lines, automotive overflow hose, and laboratory fluid handling.

⚠️ Size Tip: The ID (Inner Diameter) is the critical measurement — it must match the outer diameter of your barb fitting. If you're unsure, measure your fitting's barb OD with calipers before ordering.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right silicone tube size?

Match the Inner Diameter (ID) to the outer diameter of the fitting or barb it will slip over. For example, a 6mm barb fitting typically needs a 6mm ID tube. The Outer Diameter (OD) determines wall thickness — a larger OD relative to the ID means a thicker, more pressure-resistant wall. As a general guide: 1M ≈ 39.4", 2M ≈ 78.7", 5M ≈ 196.9", 10M ≈ 393.7".

What is the maximum pressure this silicone tubing can handle?

Pressure rating varies by wall thickness and diameter. Thicker-walled variants (larger OD relative to ID) generally handle higher pressures. For low-pressure fluid transfer and peristaltic pump applications, silicone tubing typically handles up to 30–60 PSI depending on size. Contact us to confirm the rating for your specific variant.

Can this silicone tube be used outdoors or in harsh environments?

Yes. Silicone is generally UV-resistant and performs well in outdoor conditions. This tubing is rated from -60°C (-76°F) to 180°C (356°F), making it suitable for most outdoor and industrial environments. It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to concentrated acids, ketones, or chlorinated solvents.

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

This tubing is made from food-grade silicone, which is generally odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. It is commonly used in homebrewing, aquariums, peristaltic pumps, and food processing lines. Always verify compliance with your local food-safety regulations for your specific application.

What thread or fitting standards does this tubing work with?

This is a slip-on flexible tube — it does not have threaded ends. It connects by sliding over barb fittings, hose barbs, or nipples. Choose an ID that matches the barb OD for a secure, leak-resistant fit. Hose clamps can be used for higher-pressure connections.

How do I cut the silicone tubing to length?

Use a sharp utility knife or scissors for a clean, square cut. For smaller diameters (under 5mm ID), sharp scissors work well. For larger diameters, a razor blade or tube cutter gives a cleaner edge. Always cut on a flat surface to ensure a straight end for a proper seal.

What lengths are available and how do I choose?

Available in 1M (≈39"), 2M (≈79"), 3M (≈118"), 5M (≈197"), and 10M (≈394"). For single connections or short runs, 1M or 2M is typically sufficient. For plumbing loops, aquarium setups, or lab installations, 5M or 10M rolls offer better value per meter.
