RecommendedFittings & Clamps | | NotesBoth CLEARFLO INDUSTRIAL and NYLOBRADE INDUSTRIAL clear plastictubing & hose are made from an industrial grade of PVC. They are notsuitable for use in sanitary or food contact applications. For food gradePVC, refer to standard CLEARFLO or standardNYLOBRADE.CLEARFLO INDUSTRIAL and NYLOBRADE INDUSTRIAL are generallyunaffected by most oxidizing and reducing agents. Diluted acids and alkalieshave little effect, though if highly concentrated tend to make the tubingless pliable. If chemical resistance is of major concern, in-plant testsare suggested. Although CLEARFLO INDUSTRIAL may be used for fuel andoil applications, gasoline and petroleum-based oils will eventually hardenthe material. To minimize this effect, a specially formulated Fuel andOil grade of CLEARFLO INDUSTRIAL is available by special order. As an alternative to clear NYLOBRADE INDUSTRIAL, NEWAGEAIR HOSE is available for compressed air applications. It offers a300 psi working pressure and is available in five standards colors. |
