Viton Tubing USA Sealing Chemical Resistant Temp 1/8″ ID 3/16″ OD 25ft

Description

Product Overview

USA Sealing’s Viton tubing is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments where chemical exposure and elevated temperatures are commonplace. Constructed from premium Viton elastomer, the tubing offers a unique combination of chemical inertness and thermal stability, allowing it to resist degradation from aggressive solvents, acids, bases, and petroleum‑based fluids. The soft‑grade formulation (60A‑80A hardness) provides a supple feel that eases routing around tight spaces while maintaining dimensional integrity under pressure.

Measuring 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) inside diameter and 3/16 inch (0.48 cm) outside diameter, the hose delivers a balanced profile that maximizes flow capacity without sacrificing flexibility. At a length of 25 feet (7.62 meters), the product is supplied in a convenient coil that can be cut to custom lengths, reducing waste and simplifying inventory management. The tubing is biphenyl cured, a process that enhances cross‑link density and further improves resistance to high‑temperature environments up to 200 °C (392 °F). No reinforcement is required, which eliminates the risk of metal fatigue and corrosion that can occur with steel‑braided alternatives.

Key specifications include a lightweight design (approximately 8 ounces per coil), a compact packaging footprint, and compliance with industry standards for chemical hoses. The product is not discontinued and remains in active production, ensuring consistent availability for long‑term projects. Its best‑seller rank within the industrial chemical hoses category reflects a strong market acceptance driven by reliability, performance, and cost‑effectiveness.

Usage

The Viton tubing is ideally suited for a wide range of applications across chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage handling, and laboratory research. Its resistance to a broad spectrum of chemicals makes it an excellent choice for transferring solvents such as acetone, toluene, and methanol, as well as aggressive acids like hydrochloric and sulfuric acid. In high‑temperature scenarios, the tubing can be employed in heat‑exchange loops, steam‑cleaning systems, and thermal‑treatment processes where temperatures approach or exceed 150 °C (302 °F).

Because of its soft‑grade composition, the hose can be easily integrated into existing piping networks without the need for specialized fittings or tools. It works well with standard compression fittings, quick‑connect couplings, and clamp‑type terminations, providing a versatile interface for both permanent installations and portable setups. The 25‑foot length is particularly advantageous for mobile laboratory stations, pilot‑scale reactors, and field‑service operations where rapid deployment and re‑configuration are essential.

Maintenance personnel appreciate the tubing’s low‑maintenance profile; routine visual inspections are sufficient to verify integrity, and the material’s resistance to ozone and UV exposure reduces the frequency of replacement cycles. When used in closed‑loop systems, the hose’s low permeability minimizes the risk of vapor loss, contributing to improved process efficiency and safety.

FAQ

What chemicals can this Viton tubing safely handle?

The tubing is compatible with most organic solvents, acids, bases, and petroleum‑based fluids. For specific chemical compatibility charts, consult the manufacturer’s data sheet or contact our technical team.

Can the tubing be used in high‑pressure applications?

Yes, the Viton material can withstand pressures typical of industrial hose systems. Exact pressure ratings depend on temperature and fluid type; refer to the product specifications for detailed limits.

Is reinforcement ever required for this product?

Because the tubing is designed with a soft‑grade formulation, reinforcement is not necessary for standard applications. In extreme pressure or mechanical stress scenarios, a reinforced variant may be recommended.

How should the tubing be stored to maintain its performance?

Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources. Keep it coiled loosely to avoid kinks, and seal the packaging to protect against moisture ingress.

What warranty does USA Sealing provide for this product?

We offer a limited warranty covering material defects and performance issues when the tubing is used according to the recommended guidelines. Contact our support team for claim procedures and additional details.
