7. FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between the textile and steel wire reinforced models of your 12-inch rubber tubing?
A: Textile reinforcement offers excellent flexibility and is ideal for general-purpose suction and discharge at moderate pressures. Steel wire spiral reinforcement provides superior crush resistance and shape retention, making it perfect for higher-pressure applications and vacuum services where the hose must resist collapse.
Q2: Can this tubing be used for potable water?
A: Yes, but only specific compounds (such as certain EPDM formulations) are certified for potable water contact. Please inform our sales team of this requirement to ensure you receive the correct, compliant rubber tubing 12 inch product.
Q3: How do I determine the right rubber compound for my chemical application?
A: Chemical compatibility is critical. We provide detailed chemical resistance charts for our rubber compounds. Please provide the specific media, concentration, and temperature to our technical support for a precise recommendation.
Q4: What end fittings are available?
A: The tubing can be supplied plain-ended for use with standard hose clamps, or we can factory-fit a wide range of industrial fittings including flanges, DIN/ANSI standard connections, and quick-release couplings based on your specifications.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time?
A: MOQ varies based on customization. For standard 12-inch rubber tubing, we can accommodate both small trial orders and large container loads. Lead times are typically 2-4 weeks for standard items and communicated upfront for custom projects.
