Coilhose Pneumatics PE086-500B Polyethylene Tube 3/8x1/2 in

Product Description

The COILHOSE PNEUMATICS PE086-500B is a flexible polyethylene air and fluid transfer tube rated for continuous service in pneumatic plumbing and general-purpose fluid-handling systems. The tube measures 3/8 inch inside diameter and 1/2 inch outside diameter with a 1/16 inch wall thickness, giving it a Shore 50D hardness that balances flexibility with shape retention. It handles a maximum working pressure of 90 psi and operates across a temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees F. The 500-foot coil is sold in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut length, making it well-suited for shop-line installations and service vehicle restocking. Licensed pipefitters, pneumatic system technicians, and industrial maintenance trades are the primary installers.

This tube is designed for use in compressed air distribution, pneumatic tool supply lines, and light fluid transfer applications in both shop and field environments. It is rated FDA and NSF-51 compliant, making it acceptable for food-processing and potable-water-contact installations where polyethylene tubing is code-permitted. The blue color coding aids in quick system identification in multi-line installations. It is compatible with Coilhose Pneumatics Coilock push-to-connect fittings and standard poly-tube fittings, allowing fast, tool-free terminations without compression sleeves or flares.

Key Features

• 90 psi maximum working pressure for standard compressed air service
• Operating range of -40 to 150 degrees F suits outdoor and refrigerated environments
• FDA and NSF-51 compliant for food-contact and potable water applications
• Blue color for easy line identification in multi-circuit pneumatic systems
• Compatible with Coilock push-to-connect and poly-tube fittings for tool-free assembly

Compatibility

Designed for use with Coilhose Pneumatics Coilock push-to-connect fittings and standard poly-tube fittings. Suitable for pneumatic and light fluid-transfer systems where 3/8 inch ID polyethylene tubing is specified.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and lock out the compressed air supply before cutting or connecting this tubing. Use a sharp tube cutter or razor to produce a clean, square cut end for a reliable push-to-connect seal. Verify that all fittings and end connections are rated for the system working pressure before pressurizing. Installations in potable water or food-contact applications should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements.
