Newage Industries 2800161-100 Silicone Tube 3/16 in Od

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 2800161-100 is a flexible silicone tube designed for applications requiring temperature resistance, food-grade compliance, and chemical inertness. With a 3/16-inch outside diameter, 1/16-inch inside diameter, and 1/16-inch wall thickness, this tubing handles maximum working pressures up to 20 psi and temperatures up to 500 degrees F. It carries a Shore 50A hardness rating, indicating a soft, pliable construction that resists kinking under moderate bend radii. Plumbers, food equipment technicians, and HVAC service pros install this tubing where flexible, heat-tolerant fluid conveyance is needed in tight routing paths.

This silicone tube is suited for use on food contact surfaces and is compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, NSF standards, and RoHS requirements. Typical applications include peristaltic pump lines, beverage equipment, laboratory fluid transfer, and low-pressure pneumatic or liquid lines in commercial food service and light industrial environments. Its natural color and flexible construction make it easy to inspect for flow and route through equipment enclosures. Tubing is sold in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut length from a 100-foot coil.

Key Features

• 3/16-inch OD with 1/16-inch ID and 1/16-inch wall thickness for precise sizing in tight-clearance fittings
• Rated to 500 degrees F maximum temperature for high-heat service environments
• Maximum working pressure of 20 psi suitable for low-pressure fluid and pneumatic lines
• Shore 50A hardness provides soft, flexible handling without kinking
• FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 compliant and NSF listed for food contact surface use
• RoHS compliant for use in regulated equipment and commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with food contact surfaces and low-pressure fluid transfer systems where FDA and NSF compliance is required. Compatible with peristaltic pumps, barbed fittings, and other connections sized for 1/16-inch ID silicone tubing.

Installation Notes

Cut tubing to length using a sharp utility knife or tubing cutter to ensure a clean, square end for a leak-free barb or compression fitting connection. Inspect fittings for burrs or sharp edges before installation, as these can damage the soft silicone wall. Verify all fittings are sized for 1/16-inch ID tubing to maintain a secure, pressure-holding seal. For food service or sanitary applications, confirm installation complies with applicable local health and safety codes.
