Looking For: Fluoropolymer Tubing

MagicJigPipe - 22-3-2011 at 16:08

I am looking to buy 10-20 ft (3-6 m) of non-thin-walled PTFE/PFA/similar tubing. Also, any connectors or adaptors that might be useful as well.

I'm not too picky. As long as it is a fluoropolymer and at least 1/8 ID (3.1 mm). This will simply be to replace glass tubing for various things and to help me not have to use ground-joint glassware for everything.

Oh yeah, needless to say the price must be reasonable. I am on an extremely limited budget.

Try United States Plastic Crop.
www.usplastic.com

NB - They just send me for some reason a catalogue (350 pages
of plastic stuff) now/then I have never-ever done-did business
with them.

Or try McMaster Carr www.mcmaster.com

They also send me catalogue and I am a member of their fan
club. They are that quick and don't rip you off on the
shipping.

I love McMaster Carr. I usually get things the next day, and the people there know what they're talking about. They have FEP and PFA tubing available. US plastics is good too, I've ordered from both and I was happy.

Wow... I went to US Plastics Corp. and couldn't find anything in a reasonable price range (can't remember exactly why but it could've been minimum order). McMaster-Carr seems great! 3/8'' ID PTFE tubing for $3.26/ft. That's the most reasonable price so far that I've found.

Thanks.

If you ever get their printed catalogue ... you are doomed to endless
page turning, however, thats what commercials on la TV are for.

If'n you spend enough money there — they will send you one...
well actually — if they think you are a company - helps large.

Grainger.com comes upon my mind also. However, I have to pay
local sales tax with them.

I have a few pieces of it as well, but I don't have a lot of specs for it. But if you want to try out a piece, I can send you a sample or just sell some cheap. Most is 1/8",I think, might have some other diameters.

Plenty of low cost options at Aliexpress.com. The 3.1mm ID PTFE tubing is used extensively in 3d printers, so theres plenty for sale.
