Product Features
The BraidFLEX™ 70N tubing line is very similar to our ClearFLEX™ 70NP tubing line, but with the added inner polyester braid it can withstand much higher pressure applications. It maintains a clear color and flexible nature to allow for easy installation like all of our other ClearFLEX™ tubing lines along with visual flow monitoring.
BraidFLEX™ 70N PVC Tubing
- Embedded braid prevents material entrapment, ensures easy cleaning
- Easy to bend into place
- Flexible; permits tight clamping for leakproof connections
- Maximum working pressure clearly printed on tubing
- Clear tubing allows full visual flow monitoring
- Complies with NSF-51 & NSF-61
- Complies with FDA CFR21 for food packaging
- Meets RoHS and REACH standards, also does not contain any substances listed on Proposition 65
Typical Applications
- Transfer lines
- Pneumatic circuitry
- Cell culture
- General Laboratory
- Use with insert/barbed fittings, do not allow pressure against cut end of the tube
- High pressure applications including lab, food and beverage
- NOT recommended for vacuum applications
