Newage Industries 2800546-100 Silicone Tube 1/4 in Od

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 2800546-100 is a flexible silicone tube with a 1/4 inch outside diameter, 1/8 inch inside diameter, and 1/16 inch wall thickness. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 20 psi and withstands temperatures up to 500 degrees F. The natural color, Shore 50A silicone construction makes this tube well suited for food processing, laboratory, medical, and industrial fluid transfer applications. It is sold in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut length from a 100-foot coil. Licensed plumbers, process technicians, and equipment fabricators commonly specify this tube where FDA and NSF compliance is required.

This silicone tube is designed for use with food contact surfaces and meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, NSF, and RoHS requirements. Typical installations include peristaltic pumps, beverage dispensing equipment, laboratory fluid lines, pharmaceutical processing systems, and low-pressure pneumatic or liquid transfer tubing runs. Its flexibility and temperature resistance make it a practical choice in environments where rigid tubing would be impractical or where thermal cycling is a factor.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch OD, 1/8 inch ID, 1/16 inch wall thickness for precise fitment
• Rated to 500 degrees F maximum continuous service temperature
• 20 psi maximum working pressure
• Shore 50A hardness - flexible and kink-resistant in tight routing
• FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and NSF compliant for food and beverage contact
• RoHS compliant for use in environmentally sensitive applications

Compatibility

Approved for use with food contact surfaces per FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and NSF standards. Suitable for low-pressure liquid and pneumatic lines in food processing, laboratory, pharmaceutical, and general industrial systems where silicone tubing is specified.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a sharp tubing cutter or utility knife for a clean, square end before installation. Ensure all fittings and barb connections are correctly sized for 1/8 inch ID to prevent leaks or tube blow-off under pressure. Shut down and depressurize any system before replacing or installing tubing. Verify that operating pressure does not exceed the 20 psi rated maximum and that the installation environment stays within the rated temperature range.
