Tubing, Hose & Fittings
High-Density Polyethylene is less flexible than low-density polyethylene, but has better physical and chemical properties, and withstands sterilization by boiling. Raw materials used in its manufacture meet requirements set by the FDA. The standard color is semi-opaque bright white, with black available on special order. Black is recommended for applications requiring durability in direct sunlight or outdoor exposure.
Temperature range: -100° to 150°F
Priced by the coil and sold only in full coils.
John Guest PE range of plastic tubing is available in inch and metric sizes in a variety of colors, produced in Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).
John Guest tubing provides the benefits of a wide range of temperature and pressure suitability, broad chemical compatibility and is made from non-contaminating materials. Common applications are in water purification, water conditioners, ice makers and misting systems. LLDPE is more robust than traditional low or medium density
polyethylene and is recommended for use with cold and intermittent hot water. John Guest tubing is made from FDA-approved materials and is listed with NSF International Standards 51 and 61.
