How do I decide between a thin-wall and thick-wall option for the same ID?

Thicker walls (larger OD relative to ID) generally provide higher burst pressure resistance and better kink resistance, which is useful in pressurized or tight-bend applications. Thinner walls are lighter and more flexible, suited for low-pressure gravity-fed or peristaltic pump lines.

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

Whether you're routing milk lines in a dairy setup, building a homebrewing system, or plumbing a laboratory peristaltic pump, finding a hose that won't leach odors, crack under heat, or stiffen in the cold is a constant challenge. Standard PVC tubing discolors, absorbs flavors, and degrades quickly — leaving you with contaminated product and frequent replacements.

This food grade silicone tubing is made from clear, translucent silicone rubber and is available in 39 size combinations spanning inner diameters from 1mm (≈3/64") to 13mm (≈33/64") and outer diameters from 3mm to 18mm (≈11/16"). Each unit is sold as a 1-meter (≈39.4") length, letting you buy exactly what your project requires without waste.

Typical applications include homebrewing and winemaking transfer lines, aquarium and pond pump connections, laboratory fluid handling, peristaltic pump tubing, and soft-drink or dairy dispensing equipment — anywhere a flexible, clear, food-safe silicone hose is needed.

🔗 Compatibility Note: This tubing connects via standard metric push-on barb fittings. Match the tube Inner Diameter (ID) to your barb's outer diameter for a secure, leak-resistant seal. See the size chart in the variant selector above.

✅ Key Features of These Food Grade Silicone Tubes

🧪Food-Safe Silicone Material — Made from non-toxic, odorless, tasteless silicone rubber that won't impart flavors or contaminants into milk, wort, juice, or other food-contact fluids.
🌡️Wide Temperature Tolerance — Remains flexible and functional across a broad range, typically from -60°C to +200°C (-76°F to +392°F), handling everything from refrigerated lines to steam-cleaning cycles.
🔍Clear Translucent Wall — The transparent body lets you visually monitor flow, detect blockages, and confirm fluid color without disconnecting the line — a practical advantage in brewing and lab setups.
📐39 Size Combinations — Inner diameters from 1mm to 13mm paired with multiple outer diameter options give you precise wall-thickness control for low-pressure gravity feeds or higher-pressure pump applications.
✂️Sold by the Meter — Each unit is exactly 1 meter (≈39.4") long, so you can order the precise quantity your project needs without paying for excess roll length.
🔄Flexible & Kink-Resistant — Soft silicone construction bends around tight corners without collapsing the bore, maintaining consistent flow in compact equipment layouts and aquarium filter setups.

⚠️ Size Tip: Wall thickness varies by size combination. If your application involves elevated pressure or tight bends, choose a variant with a larger OD relative to the ID (thicker wall). Contact us to confirm if you need a specific burst-pressure rating.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right silicone tube size?

Measure the outer diameter (OD) of the fitting or barb you need to connect, then select a tube whose inner diameter (ID) matches or is slightly smaller for a snug fit. For example, a 6mm barb typically pairs with a 6mmID tube. All sizes are listed in millimeters; to convert, 1 inch ≈ 25.4mm — so 6mmID ≈ 15/64".

Is this silicone tubing safe for food and beverage use?

Yes. This tubing is made from food-grade silicone that is generally non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, making it suitable for milk lines, homebrewing, winemaking, and other food-contact fluid transfer. Always verify compliance with your local food-safety regulations before use in commercial or regulated settings.

What temperature range can this silicone hose handle?

Silicone tubing of this type typically withstands temperatures from approximately -60°C (-76°F) to +200°C (+392°F). This makes it suitable for refrigerated dairy lines, hot-side brewing transfers, and steam-cleaning cycles. Confirm the specific rating for your use case before exposure to extreme or sustained high temperatures.

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

Silicone generally offers better UV and ozone resistance than standard rubber or PVC tubing. For prolonged outdoor exposure, shielding the tubing from direct sunlight where possible will help maximize service life. In most cases, short-term outdoor use is not a concern.

What fittings is this clear silicone hose compatible with?

This tubing connects via push-on barb fittings. Select a tube ID that matches your barb OD for a secure, leak-resistant seal. It is compatible with standard metric barb fittings commonly used in laboratory equipment, homebrewing systems, aquarium filters, and medical-grade fluid handling devices.

How do I decide between thin-wall and thick-wall options for the same ID?

Thicker walls (larger OD relative to ID) generally provide higher burst-pressure resistance and better kink resistance — useful in pressurized pump lines or tight-bend routing. Thinner walls are lighter and more pliable, suited for low-pressure gravity-fed systems or peristaltic pump tubing where flexibility is the priority.

Is the tubing sold by the meter or as a fixed-length roll?

Each unit is sold as a 1-meter (≈39.4") length. Select your diameter combination in the variant selector above and set the quantity equal to the number of meters you need. This lets you buy exactly what your project requires without paying for a full roll.
