Midland Industries 73206B1 Polyethylene Tubing 1000 Ft

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 73206B1 is a black linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) tubing designed for fluid and pneumatic transfer in commercial, industrial, and trade applications. It features a 0.250-inch inner diameter and a 3/8-inch outer diameter with a 0.062-inch wall thickness. The tubing carries a working pressure rating of 150 psi with a 3:1 safety factor and a 28 inHg vacuum rating, making it suitable for both pressure and suction lines. This 1000-foot coil is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals who need a long continuous run with minimal splices.

This tubing is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible, chemical-resistant line is required. Typical uses include water supply distribution, pneumatic control lines, irrigation, refrigerant drain lines, and instrumentation runs. Its flexibility and chemical resistance make it a practical choice in environments where rigid pipe would be difficult to route. Compatible with barb-type, push-to-connect, and compression style fittings, it integrates into standard plumbing and pneumatic assemblies without special adapters.

Key Features

• LLDPE construction provides chemical resistance and flexibility for demanding routing conditions
• 150 psi working pressure with a 3:1 safety factor for reliable performance under load
• 28 inHg vacuum rating supports suction-side and vacuum line applications
• Wide temperature range of -50 to 140 degrees F suits both cold and warm environments
• 2-inch minimum bend radius allows tight routing in confined spaces
• 1000-foot continuous coil reduces the need for mid-run fittings and potential leak points

Compatibility

Designed for use with barb-type, push-to-connect, or compression style fittings. Suitable as a general-purpose flexible tubing in plumbing, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems requiring a 0.250-inch ID by 3/8-inch OD polyethylene line.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the system before cutting or connecting the tubing. Use a clean, square cut to ensure proper fitting engagement, particularly with push-to-connect and compression fittings. Do not exceed the rated working pressure, temperature limits, or minimum bend radius during installation or operation.
