This is an economical tubing used for low pressure transfer or draining of water (including potable), juices, beer, wine, soft drinks, air, laboratory tubing, or to transfer soaps, mild chemicals, and acids (NOT designed for petroleum fluids, refer to NL5550/5570 polyurethane). It is a light, smooth, crystal clear tubing that allows full view of the materials being conveyed (for other colours, consider using our NL5550/5570 Series Polyurethane - applications may vary). It is a non-toxic tubing made from virgin materials manufactured with FDA compliant compounds and meets USDA, Sanitary 3A, NSF, and California Proposition 65 requirements. NL5430 is self extinguishing and has a Shore A 73 durometer rating.

Construction: Smooth, crystal clear, food grade approved vinyl tubing (for other colours, consider using our NL5550/5570 Series Polyurethane - applications may vary).

Typical Fittings: "Barbed" fittings (ie. nylon, brass, or stainless hose barbs) are recommended on this tubing due to its softer wall, N62/N64 gear clamps, N66 pinch clamps, NSNP quick snap clamps; 'Push-In' tube fittings or compression fittings 'can' be used (application dependent, also refer to tubing "O.D.", not I.D.), but it is highly recommended they are used in conjunction with "soft-tube" inserts.

Temperature Range: -4°C (25°F) to +65°C (149°F)

Detail Comments: For other colours or metric sizes, consider using our NL5550/NL5570 Series Polyurethane - applications may vary. When using with 'Push-In' or Compression fittings, always refer to the tubing O.D. for correct fitting size. For PVC tubing rated for higher pressures, refer to our NL1240/NL1270.
