Dakota Sourcing 12408 Braided Vinyl Tubing 3/8 in 50 Ft

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 12408 is a clear braided vinyl tubing sold in a 50-foot length with a 3/8-inch inner diameter. The braided construction reinforces the vinyl wall to resist kinking and pressure surges common in fluid-transfer applications. This type of flexible tubing is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals to route water, chemicals, or other compatible fluids through tight or irregular spaces. The clear wall allows visual confirmation of flow and fluid condition without disconnecting the line.

This tubing is suited for light-duty fluid transfer in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, pool chemical feed lines, potable or non-potable water supply connections, and general plumbing bypass or transfer runs. The 50-foot coil provides enough material for most single-job installations without splicing.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch inner diameter accommodates standard fittings and barbed connectors
• 50-foot length reduces the need for mid-run splices on longer runs
• Clear vinyl wall allows visual flow and fluid-condition inspection
• Braided reinforcement resists kinking and improves pressure handling over standard unreinforced vinyl tubing
• Flexible construction routes easily through confined spaces and around obstacles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-install braided vinyl tubing for use with standard 3/8-inch barbed or compression fittings in plumbing, HVAC condensate, and pool service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pool service professional depending on the application. Shut off the relevant water or fluid supply before cutting or connecting tubing. Use a sharp tubing cutter or utility knife for a clean square cut to ensure a leak-free seat on barbed or compression fittings. Verify that the fluid and temperature range of the application are compatible with vinyl construction before installing.
