Nylon tube is used in place of copper or aluminium line. The tube body is smooth with low fluid resistance and does not contain plasticisers. It is supplied in natural, yellow and black.
Of the two sizes, the 6 × 4 mm in PA11 is also rated for resistance to weak acid and alkali.
Avoid letting the tube rub against other components, and avoid excessive pulling, twisting or bending, which can damage or deform the tube wall and affect performance. Above 70°C, performance falls off with rising temperature, including a reduction in burst pressure. Use with caution above this point.
The manufacturer publishes the same burst pressure, minimum bend radius and wall weight for both sizes; treat the 6 × 4 mm figures as provisional and confirm with us before specifying the tube for a pressurised line.
