Midland Industries 73203Y1 Polyethylene Tubing 0.25in Od 1000ft

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 73203Y1 is a yellow linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) tubing designed for fluid transfer in plumbing, pneumatic, and light industrial applications. It features a 0.25-inch outer diameter, a 0.170-inch inner diameter, and a 0.04-inch wall thickness. The tubing is rated for a working pressure of 150 psi with a 3:1 safety factor, making it a dependable choice for low- to medium-pressure service lines. Shore A hardness of 98 and Shore D hardness of 45D indicate a semi-rigid, flexible construction that resists kinking during routing. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors install this tubing in a variety of supply and distribution configurations.

This tubing is well suited for residential and light commercial installations where a flexible, chemical-resistant supply line is needed. Common applications include water supply runs, pneumatic control lines, and fluid distribution systems. The 1000-foot coil length makes it practical for new construction, retrofit projects, or service van stock. It accepts barb-type, push-to-connect, and compression style fittings, giving installers flexibility in connection method. The yellow color aids in identification in multi-line installations.

Key Features

• 150 psi working pressure with a 3:1 safety factor for reliable low- to medium-pressure service
• 28 inHg vacuum rating supports suction-side and vacuum-line applications
• LLDPE construction provides chemical resistance and flexibility across a wide temperature range
• Operating range of -50 to 140 degrees F suits both indoor and outdoor installations
• 1.25-inch minimum bend radius reduces kinking risk during routing through tight spaces
• Compatible with barb-type, push-to-connect, and compression style fittings for versatile connections
• 1000-foot coil minimizes splices on long runs in new construction or retrofit work

Compatibility

Designed for use with barb-type, push-to-connect, or compression style fittings sized for 0.25-inch OD polyethylene tubing, as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before cutting or connecting tubing. Use a clean, square cut with a dedicated tubing cutter to ensure a leak-free fitting seat. Avoid exceeding the 1.25-inch minimum bend radius to prevent wall deformation or flow restriction.
