Unreinforced PVC tubing is a highly 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.
The excellent flow rate of this tubing significantly minimizes the risk of blockages. However, If a blockage occurs, 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.
This clear PVC tube is ideal for food and drink production and catering use; however, it also suits a wide range of other uses and industries, such as:
- Air & gas lines.
- Chemical lines.
- Pharmaceutical & medical.
- Laboratory & research.
- Food grade.
- Air and water
- Instrumentation.
- Material Handling.
- Pump feed & discharge.
- Refrigeration.
- Water & fluid lines.

These clear, flexible PVC pipes are a low-pressure hose solution with a maximum recommended working pressure of 30 PSI. For increased working pressures, consider the reinforced PVC hose instead.
The hose remains highly flexible without collapsing, even at low operating temperatures. The ideal temperature range falls between -20°C and 55°C. The hose can withstand occasional usage of up to 65°C.
The clear plastic (PVC) tube is economical and low-maintenance. Its excellent flow rates prevent sediment buildup, 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 to interconnects. The tube is also highly resistant to various chemicals, acids and alkalis.
These PVC tubes can be manufactured from 3mm flexible tubing and 6mm flexible tubing up to 75mm for the ID.
