Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the maximum pressure for this 1/2 inch rubber tubing?
The maximum recommended working pressure is 150 PSI. For applications near or exceeding this pressure, please consult our technical team for suitability or alternative recommendations.
Is this tubing suitable for fuel lines?
Yes, our synthetic rubber compound offers good resistance to many fuels, oils, and greases. It is commonly used for fuel vent lines and oil return lines. For continuous immersion in aggressive fuels, please confirm chemical compatibility with our datasheet.
Can I use this tubing for compressed air?
Absolutely. This is a primary application. The tubing's flexibility and kink resistance make it an excellent choice for plant air lines, pneumatic tool connections, and air actuator supply.
Do you offer different colors besides black?
Black is our standard stock color for its universal UV and ozone resistance. Custom colors (like blue, red, or green) are available for large-volume orders for color-coding purposes. Contact our sales team for a quote.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ for the rubber tubing 1 2 inch is one coil (50 ft or 100 ft). For bulk commercial and OEM orders, we offer significant volume discounts.
How do I attach fittings to this tubing?
The tubing is designed for use with standard hose clamps (worm-drive or spring clamps) and push-to-connect fittings sized for a 1/2" ID. Its flexible yet firm wall provides a secure, leak-resistant seal when properly clamped.
