Midland Industries 973354 Polyurethane Tubing 5mm 100ft

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 973354 is a clear polyurethane tubing sold in a 100-foot roll, designed for pneumatic, fluid transfer, and instrumentation applications where flexibility and durability are required. It features a 5 mm inner diameter, 8 mm outer diameter, and a 1.6 mm wall thickness. Rated for working pressures up to 175 psi with a 3:1 safety factor, it also carries a 28 inHg vacuum rating. The Shore A 98 hardness rating indicates a firm yet flexible tube wall. Temperature range runs from -40 degrees F to 150 degrees F, making it suitable for both cold and heated environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and pneumatic system technicians are the primary installers.

This tubing is well suited for compressed air lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid conveyance in both light industrial and commercial settings. Its clear construction allows for visual flow monitoring without cutting into the line. The minimum bend radius of 15 mm supports tight routing in control panels and equipment enclosures without kinking. It is compatible with push-to-connect fittings, barb-type fittings, and compression fittings, making it adaptable across a wide range of existing pneumatic and fluid systems.

Compatibility

Compatible with push-to-connect fittings, barb-type fittings, and compression fittings. Designed as a general-purpose polyurethane tubing solution for pneumatic and fluid transfer systems requiring a 5 mm ID, 8 mm OD tube.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or pneumatic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before cutting or connecting tubing. Use a clean, square cut to ensure a proper seal at push-to-connect or compression fittings. Do not exceed the rated working pressure or operating temperature range during service.
