2. The main characteristics of the product
• Food Grade and Safe Materials
Our tubing is made from high-quality food grade PVC and silicone rubber, which are free from harmful substances such as BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals. This makes it safe for use in direct contact with food and beverages, ensuring that your creations are not contaminated. Whether you're using it for transferring liquids in a home brewing process, dispensing juices, or connecting to a water filtration system for drinking water, you can have peace of mind knowing that the tubing meets strict food safety regulations.
• Wide Diameter Range and Length
The availability of diameters from 2mm to 50mm provides you with the flexibility to choose the perfect size for your application. The finer diameters are ideal for precise liquid transfer in laboratory settings or for delicate aquarium air lines, while the larger diameters can handle higher flow rates for applications like industrial fluid transfer or home plumbing repairs. The 5-meter length is convenient, allowing you to complete most projects without the need for frequent splicing or joining, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring a seamless operation.
• Flexible and Durable Construction
The tubing is designed to be highly flexible, enabling it to bend and curve without kinking or breaking. This flexibility makes it easy to route through tight spaces and around obstacles, whether you're installing it in a cramped kitchen cabinet for a DIY soda dispenser or in a complex machinery setup. The durable construction of the PVC and silicone materials ensures that the tubing can withstand regular use, exposure to various temperatures, and pressure changes without deteriorating, providing you with a long-lasting solution.
• Clear and Transparent Design
The clear silicone rubber tube allows for easy visual inspection of the flowing liquid or gas, which is especially useful in applications where monitoring the flow is crucial. You can quickly detect any blockages, air bubbles, or impurities in the line, enabling you to take immediate action to maintain the efficiency of your system. This transparency also adds a sleek and professional look to your projects, whether it's a DIY hydroponic system or a custom-built beverage dispenser.
• Easy to Cut and Connect
The tubing can be easily cut to the desired length using a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife. It is also compatible with a wide range of connectors and fittings, making it simple to attach to other components in your system. Whether you're using barbed fittings for a tight seal in a water transfer application or push-to-connect fittings for a quick and easy setup in a pneumatic system, our tubing can be easily integrated into your existing setup.

• Home Brewing and Beverage Dispensing
For home brewers, our tubing is essential for transferring beer or other fermented beverages during the brewing process. It can be used to siphon the liquid from one container to another, connect the keg to the tap, or even for aerating the wort. In a beverage dispensing setup, it can be used to connect a soda syrup dispenser to the carbonated water source or to create a custom DIY kegerator. The food grade material ensures that the taste and quality of the beverages are not affected, and the flexibility allows for easy installation in tight spaces, such as under a bar counter or in a small closet brewery.
• Aquarium and Hydroponic Systems
In aquarium setups, the clear silicone tubing is perfect for creating air lines to power air stones, protein skimmers, and other aeration devices. It can also be used for water transfer, such as when performing water changes or connecting a water pump to a filtration system. In hydroponic systems, the tubing is used to deliver nutrient-rich water to the plants, either through a drip irrigation system or a recirculating setup. The flexibility of the tubing allows it to be easily routed around the plants and the grow trays, and the durability ensures that it can withstand the constant exposure to water and nutrients.
• Food and Beverage Processing
Small food businesses or home kitchens can use our tubing for various food processing tasks. It can be used to transfer sauces, syrups, and other liquid ingredients between containers or to connect a food-grade pump to a dispensing nozzle. The food grade quality and easy-to-clean surface make it a hygienic choice for these applications. Whether you're bottling your own homemade salsa or operating a small-scale juice bar, our tubing can help streamline your production process.
• DIY Plumbing and Household Repairs
For DIY enthusiasts, the tubing can be used for a variety of plumbing repairs around the house. It can replace a damaged water line under the sink, connect a new faucet to the water supply, or be used to create a custom drain hose for a washing machine or dishwasher. The wide diameter range allows you to find the right size for any plumbing job, and the durability ensures that it can handle the pressure and temperature changes in a typical household plumbing system.
4. Product use instructions
1、Cutting the Tubing
Measure the required length of tubing using a ruler or tape measure. Mark the tubing at the desired cut point. Using a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife, carefully cut the tubing at the marked point. Ensure that the cut is clean and straight to ensure a proper fit when connecting to fittings or other tubing sections. If using scissors, make sure they are sharp enough to cut through the tubing without crushing or deforming it.
2、Connecting the Tubing
Select the appropriate fittings or connectors for your application. If using barbed fittings, insert the end of the tubing onto the barbed portion and push it firmly until it seats securely. You can use a hose clamp to further secure the connection if needed. For push-to-connect fittings, simply insert the tubing into the fitting until it clicks into place. Make sure the tubing is inserted all the way to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. When connecting multiple sections of tubing, ensure that the connections are tight and free from any gaps or kinks.
3、Cleaning and Maintenance
After each use, flush the tubing with clean water to remove any residual liquid or debris. For food and beverage applications, it is recommended to use a mild detergent solution and rinse thoroughly with hot water to ensure proper hygiene. Inspect the tubing regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or cracks. If any damage is detected, replace the affected section immediately to prevent leaks or contamination. Store the tubing in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.
4、Pressure and Temperature Considerations
Before using the tubing in a specific application, check the maximum pressure and temperature ratings of the tubing. Do not exceed these limits to prevent the tubing from bursting or deforming. If the tubing will be exposed to high temperatures, such as in a hot water transfer application, make sure to select a tubing with a suitable temperature rating. Similarly, if using the tubing for pressurized systems, ensure that the pressure is within the recommended range. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's specifications or seek professional advice.
