This clear PVC flexible tubing is stocked in 26 ID × OD size combinations and three cut lengths, so hobbyists, mechanics, aquarium keepers, and DIY plumbers can order exactly what they need without buying a bulk reel they'll never finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach length is cut from clear, plasticizer-grade PVC tubing. Sizes range from 2mm × 3mm (≈5\/64\" × 1\/8\") up to 50mm × 57mm (≈2\" × 2-1\/4\"), available in 1 Metre (≈39\"), 5 Metre (≈196\"), and 10 Metre (≈393\") lengths. The wall thickness is the difference between OD and ID divided by two — for example, the 6mm × 8mm variant has a 1mm wall on each side. All sizes share the same smooth-bore, optically clear construction that lets you monitor flow at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include aquarium CO2 and water lines, carburetor and small-engine fuel delivery, compressed-air distribution in workshop setups, laboratory fluid transfer, and automotive coolant overflow routing. The flexibility of the PVC allows routing around tight bends without kinking, making it a practical choice for clear flexible hose pipe for aquarium use, DIY fuel line replacement, and low-pressure air hose applications in home workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ② COMPATIBILITY BAR --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard metric barbed fittings · Hose clamps · Compression connectors · Push-fit nipples — matched to the tube's inner diameter (ID).\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- ③ KEY FEATURES --\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003e✅ Key Features of These Clear PVC Flexible Hose Pipes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"hdiy-features\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-icon\"\u003e🔍\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptically Clear Wall\u003c\/strong\u003e — The transparent PVC body lets you see fluid color, flow rate, and air bubbles instantly, eliminating guesswork in aquarium tubing setups and fuel line monitoring.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-icon\"\u003e📐\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e26 Precise ID × OD Combinations\u003c\/strong\u003e — From 2mm × 3mm up to 50mm × 57mm, each size is dimensionally consistent so barbed fittings seat securely without leaking — no adapters needed for standard metric connections.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-icon\"\u003e🔄\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible, Kink-Resistant Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — Soft PVC formulation bends around corners and through tight routing paths without collapsing the bore, maintaining consistent flow in clear flexible hose pipe for water and air applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-icon\"\u003e✂️\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut-to-Length Options (1m \/ 5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Order only the length you need.
