Pneumatic Tube for Pushfit Systems

Nylon Tubing

30 metre rolls of nylon pneumatic tubing for compressed-air and automation systems, available in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm outside diameters to suit matching pushfit fittings.

Nylon Tube for Compressed-Air & Pneumatic Systems

The current range contains five 30 metre nylon tube rolls, arranged by outside diameter from 4mm to 12mm. The outside diameter is the key size used when matching the tube to a pushfit fitting.

Available sizes run from 2.5mm ID / 4mm OD through to 10mm ID / 12mm OD, giving a choice of bore sizes for pneumatic controls, workshop airlines and compatible compressed-air applications.

Always check both the tube ID and OD, the required working pressure, temperature and the fitting specification before ordering.

Shop Nylon Tubing by Pushfit Size

Choose 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm or 12mm OD tubing to match the corresponding pushfit fitting size.

Pushfit fittings are selected by tube outside diameter. For example, the 6mm pushfit range takes 6mm OD tube, which in this range has a 4mm internal diameter.

Important Sizing Point

Pushfit Size Means Tube Outside Diameter

When selecting pneumatic pushfit fittings, the stated metric tube size normally refers to the tube outside diameter rather than its bore.

That means the 8mm pushfit products in this range are intended for the 8mm OD / 6mm ID nylon tube, while a 12mm pushfit is matched to the 12mm OD / 10mm ID tube.

If you only know the hose bore or the fitting thread and are unsure which tube size you need, call 0121 753 3330 before ordering.
Why Nylon?

Nylon Tubing for Workshop & Pneumatic Installations

Nylon tube provides a lightweight, durable way to route compressed air and pneumatic control lines where a flexible small-bore connection is appropriate.

  • Lightweight and straightforward to route
  • Suitable for matching metric pushfit connections
  • Useful for pneumatic controls and automation equipment
  • Available in several bore sizes for different airflow requirements
  • Supplied in 30 metre rolls for installation and maintenance work
Selection

How to Choose the Correct Nylon Tube

Outside Diameter

Match the OD to the metric pushfit size: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm or 12mm.

Internal Diameter

The bore affects available airflow. Higher-flow applications may need a larger internal diameter.

Pressure & Temperature

Confirm that the tube and every fitting in the circuit are suitable for the actual operating conditions.

Application

Check suitability for the medium, environment, movement and routing required by the installation.

Installation

Getting a Reliable Pushfit Connection

  • Cut the tube cleanly and square before inserting it into the fitting
  • Avoid badly scored, crushed or oval tube ends
  • Push the tube fully home into the fitting
  • Route without sharp kinks or an excessively tight bend radius
  • Keep tube away from excessive heat and sharp edges
  • Fully isolate and depressurise the system before alterations or maintenance
Airflow

Tube Bore Affects Pneumatic Performance

As with any compressed-air line, a smaller internal diameter creates more resistance than a larger bore at the same flow. Long runs and higher air demands make pressure drop more significant.

For pneumatic control circuits the required flow may be relatively small, while air tools and other consuming equipment can require a larger line.

FAQs

Nylon Tubing FAQs

What nylon tube sizes are available?

The current range is available in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm outside diameters, all supplied as 30 metre rolls.

Which tube do I need for a 6mm pushfit?

Use the 6mm OD nylon tube. In the current range this has a 4mm internal diameter.

Which tube do I need for a 10mm pushfit?

Use the 10mm OD / 8mm ID nylon tube.

Does the internal diameter matter?

Yes. The internal diameter affects flow capacity and pressure drop, so it should be considered as well as the pushfit size.

Can nylon tube be used for compressed air?

Yes, where the selected tube, fittings, pressure, temperature and application conditions are suitable.

How should nylon tube be cut for a pushfit?

Use a suitable tube cutter to make a clean, square cut. A damaged or angled end can make sealing less reliable.

Can you help me match the pushfit fittings?

Yes. Call 0121 753 3330 with the tube OD and the thread or connection required.
