Description
Premium Nylon Pneumatic Tube
Professional-Grade PA12 Air Line for Demanding Workshop Environments
Engineering Excellence for Professional Air Systems
This premium natural nylon tube delivers exceptional performance in pneumatic applications where flexibility, durability, and consistent air flow are non-negotiable. Manufactured from high-grade PA12 polyamide, it combines the resilience needed for workshop environments with the precision required for reliable tool operation.
Why Professionals Choose This Tube
- Superior Flexibility: Maintains pliability even in cold conditions, routing easily around machinery and through tight spaces without kinking
- Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to oils, fuels, and common workshop chemicals without degradation
- Abrasion Resistant: Tough outer wall resists scuffing and wear from contact with metal edges and rough surfaces
- Consistent Performance: Smooth bore ensures minimal pressure drop and optimal air flow to pneumatic tools
- Temperature Stable: Performs reliably across a wide temperature range typical of UK workshop conditions
- UV Resistant: Natural nylon formulation resists UV degradation for outdoor or well-lit workshop installations

Fitting Compatibility
This 8mm ID x 10mm OD tube is compatible with standard metric push-fit fittings, compression fittings, and barbed connectors designed for 8mm or 10mm tube. Pair with our range of premium brass and composite fittings for leak-free connections.
Always verify fitting specifications match tube dimensions. Use appropriate tube cutters for clean, square cuts to ensure proper seal.
Installation Best Practices
- Cut tube square using a sharp tube cutter or fine-tooth saw—avoid crushing or deforming the end
- Deburr cut ends to prevent damage to O-rings in push-fit fittings
- Insert tube fully into fittings until it bottoms out against the internal stop
- Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to prevent kinking and flow restriction
- Secure long runs with appropriate clips or cable ties to prevent sagging and abrasion
- Pressure test system before putting into service

Care & Maintenance
Nylon pneumatic tube requires minimal maintenance but benefits from periodic inspection. Check for signs of abrasion, cracking, or hardening, particularly at bend points and where tube contacts sharp edges. Replace tube if damage is observed. Store unused coils in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and chemical exposure.
