This purple food grade silicone tube hose is built for users who need a flexible, chemically inert conduit that holds up across a wide temperature range without degrading or imparting odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach length is made from food-safe silicone rubber with an inner diameter (ID) ranging from 2mm to 6mm (~0.08\" to 0.24\") and an outer diameter (OD) from 4mm to 8mm (~0.16\" to 0.31\"). Wall thickness varies by size from 1mm to 2mm. Available in lengths of 1M, 2M, 3M, 5M, and 10M — sold by the meter so you get exactly what your project requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include aquarium airline tubing, homebrewing siphon lines, laboratory fluid transfer, peristaltic pump connections, and small-bore coolant routing in electronics enclosures. The soft, flexible silicone tube hose bends without kinking, making it well-suited for tight routing paths in cabinetry or equipment panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits standard barbed fittings and push-in connectors sized to match the listed ID.
