Unreinforced pvc tubing is an extremely versatile and economical flexible plastic tubing solution. This type of hose is suitable for low-pressure food and drink production, drinking water, and industrial use.
With an excellent flow rate, the risk of blockages is greatly reduced. If a blockage does occur, however, the transparency of this clear PVC tube makes it easy to identify and rectify.
This tube offers numerous other advantages, such as abrasion and corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, high flexibility for easy packing away, and minimum toxicity PVC formulation that imparts no flavour or odour to the products it conveys.
- Food safe.
- REACH, RoHS and BSI ISO 9001 compliant.
- Full visibility of the flow of contents.
- Easy to extend or replace.
- Chemical resistant.
- Highly flexible.

These clear flexible PVC pipe are a low-pressure hose solution with a maximum recommended working pressure of 30 PSI. For increased working pressures, consider instead the reinforced PVC hose.
The hose remains highly flexible without collapsing, even at low operating temperatures. The ideal temperature range falls between -20°C and 55°C. The hosing can withstand occasional usage of up to 65°C.
The clear plastic tube (PVC) tube is an economical and low maintenance solution. Its excellent flow rates prevent sediment build up, reducing the need for monitoring and replacements. As the tube is clear, it is easy to identify any blockages and replace that section with a new length attached with interconnects. The tube is also highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids and alkalis.
These PVC tubes can be manufactured to come in everything from 3mm flexible tubing, 6mm flexible tubing, all the way up to 75mm flexible tubing for the ID.
