Frequently Asked Questions
What is polyurethane tubing used for?
It carries compressed air or other compatible media between pneumatic components.
How do I select the correct tube size?
Match outside diameter to the fitting and ensure the inside diameter provides adequate flow.
Can it be used with push-to-connect fittings?
Yes, when the tube material, outside diameter and hardness are compatible with the fitting.
Does tubing length affect performance?
Yes. Long or undersized lines can increase pressure drop and slow actuator response.
Should tubing be cut square?
Yes. A clean square cut helps the tube seal correctly in push-to-connect fittings.
Why use colored pneumatic tubing?
Color can identify circuits, machine zones or functions during installation and maintenance.
How do I choose between nylon, polyethylene and polyurethane?
Consider pressure, flexibility, bend radius, abrasion, chemical exposure and temperature.
What should be checked before installation?
Confirm tube size, fitting compatibility, pressure, temperature and routing.
