Midland Industries 73354CU1 Polyurethane Tubing 5mm 1000 Ft

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 73354CU1 is a clear blue polyurethane tubing rated for demanding pneumatic and fluid-transfer applications. With a 5mm inner diameter and 8mm outer diameter, it delivers a 1.6mm wall thickness and a working pressure of 175 psi with a 3:1 safety factor. The tubing carries a Shore A hardness rating of 98, giving it excellent shape retention under pressure. A 15mm minimum bend radius allows routing through tight spaces without kinking. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals install this tubing where flexible, high-pressure line runs are required.

This tubing is suited for both light commercial and industrial settings where push-to-connect, barb-type, or compression fittings are used. The 1000-foot spool length supports large installations or shop stock, reducing the need for frequent resupply. Its clear blue color allows for visual identification in multi-line systems. The tubing performs across a temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees F, making it appropriate for both cold-environment and moderate heat applications.

Key Features

• 175 psi working pressure with 3:1 safety factor for reliable high-pressure service
• Shore A 98 hardness for firm, kink-resistant performance
• 15mm minimum bend radius supports tight routing without flow restriction
• 28 inHg vacuum rating for use in suction-side applications
• Resistance to abrasion, chemicals, cold, heat, and kinking
• Compatible with push-to-connect, barb-type, and compression fittings
• 1000-foot spool minimizes splices and reduces installation time on large runs

Compatibility

Designed for use with push-to-connect fittings, barb-type fittings, and compression fittings in pneumatic and fluid-transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Cut tubing squarely with a dedicated tube cutter or sharp blade to ensure a proper seal at fittings. Depressurize and de-energize the system before disconnecting existing lines or inserting new tubing into push-to-connect fittings. Verify that the fitting bore matches the 8mm outer diameter before insertion. Maintain the 15mm minimum bend radius during routing to prevent flow restriction or premature tubing fatigue.
