Eaton 3270-0812-0500 Polyamide Tube 0.376 in Id 950 Psi Ctl

Product Description

The EATON 3270-0812-0500 is a red polyamide tubing sold in cut-to-length format from a standard 500-foot coil. It carries a 0.376-inch inside diameter, a 0.500-inch outside diameter, and a 0.062-inch wall thickness. The maximum working pressure rating is 950 psi, making it suitable for demanding fluid and pneumatic transfer applications. Polyamide construction provides strong resistance to abrasion, fuels, oils, and many common chemicals encountered in industrial and mechanical service environments. Licensed technicians and mechanical contractors typically select this tubing for compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, hydraulic pilot lines, and similar pressure-carrying runs where a lightweight, flexible, yet pressure-rated conduit is required.

This tubing is well suited for both light industrial and commercial mechanical applications. The cut-to-length format allows installers to specify exact run lengths, reducing waste on larger projects. The 500-foot standard coil accommodates extended runs or multiple shorter drops from a single stock reel. Typical installation scenarios include pneumatic actuator supply lines, instrument air distribution, fluid transfer circuits in HVAC and refrigeration equipment rooms, and similar plumbing and mechanical system applications where polyamide tubing meets the pressure and chemical-resistance demands of the service.

Key Features

• 950 psi maximum working pressure for demanding pneumatic and fluid transfer service
• Polyamide construction resists abrasion, fuels, oils, and common industrial chemicals
• 0.376-inch ID and 0.500-inch OD with a 0.062-inch wall thickness for consistent flow area and structural integrity
• Cut-to-length format supplied from a 500-foot standard coil, minimizing on-site waste
• Red color coding aids circuit identification in multi-line installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard polyamide tube for pneumatic, instrument air, and fluid transfer systems requiring a 3/8-inch ID, 1/2-inch OD tube rated to 950 psi. Confirm fitting and ferrule compatibility with the 0.500-inch OD before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors working under applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before cutting or connecting tubing. Use tooling rated for polyamide tube to achieve clean, square cuts and ensure leak-free fitting engagement. Do not exceed the 950 psi maximum working pressure rating or apply the tubing in service conditions outside its listed chemical and thermal tolerances.
