Specifications
Technical Performance Parameters
Review the physical measurements, chemical capabilities, and mechanical limits of this hard polyethylene fluid tubing:
Mechanical Integrity & Fitting Adaptability
- Structural Kink Resistance: Engineered with a 3-3/4″ minimum bend radius to prevent flow restriction around tight panel turns.
- Vacuum System Compliance: Rated for up to 28 in Hg vacuum, eliminating line collapse on suction-lift feed pumps.
- Fitting Seals: Uniform outer diameter tolerance ensures tight mechanical seals in compression nuts and push-in fitting O-rings.
Use Cases & Industry Applications:
- Chemical Metering Pump Lines: Function as primary suction and discharge tubing for chlorine, acid, coagulant, and polymer dosing pumps.
- Water Treatment & RO Systems: Ideal for carrying permeate, concentrate, or pre-treatment chemicals in commercial reverse osmosis units.
- Cooling Tower & Boiler Feed Lines: Connects water treatment controllers to chemical injection quills on cooling tower loops.
- Laboratory & Analytical Sampling: Provides an inert fluid transfer line for side-stream process sampling and online monitoring sensors.

FAQs
FAQs
- What chemical solutions can be safely pumped through this 3/8 inch OD white polyethylene tubing?
This hard polyethylene tubing 3/8 OD is highly resistant to a broad spectrum of water treatment chemicals, including sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach), diluted acids, caustic solutions, alum, and liquid fertilisers. Its non-reactive polymer construction prevents chemical leaching and tube degradation during continuous feed operations. - Is this tubing suitable for suction lift lines on chemical metering pumps?
Yes. With a vacuum rating of 28 in Hg and a Shore D 45 hardness rating, this rigid line will not flatten or collapse under negative pressure. This makes it an ideal choice for metering pump suction draw tubes running directly from chemical storage drums or tanks. - What type of fittings work best with this white chemical feed tubing?
This tubing features precise outer diameter tolerances that make it fully compatible with standard plastic and brass compression fittings (with inner pipe support inserts) as well as push-to-connect (quick-connect) fitting assemblies. - How does the temperature of the fluid affect the pressure rating of this tubing?
The tubing is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 125 PSI at 75°F (24°C). As fluid temperatures approach the upper limit of 140°F (60°C), the maximum safe operating pressure decreases. For high-temperature or continuous high-pressure hot water lines, pressure derating should be calculated accordingly. - What is the minimum bend radius for this 10 ft polyethylene tubing roll?
The recommended minimum bend radius is 3-3/4 inches. Bending the tubing tighter than this radius may cause kinking or stress fracturing along the outer wall, which can impede chemical flow or compromise line pressure capacity.
