💡 How to Use This Chart:

1. Are you using a “Push-In” (Quick-Connect) Fitting?

Look at the OD (Outside Diameter). The tube must match the fitting size exactly.

  • Warning: A 1/4″ (6.35mm) tube will not fit correctly into a 6mm Metric fitting. They look similar but will leak!

2. Are you using a “Barbed” (Hose-Tail) Fitting?

Look at the ID (Inside Diameter). The “hole” of the tube must stretch over the ridges of the barb.

  • Pro-Tip: If the fit is tight, dip the end of the tube in hot water for 30 seconds to soften the plastic before pushing it onto the barb.

3. Are you using a “Jaco” (Compression) Fitting?

These fittings use a nut and a small plastic sleeve (ferrule). You must match the OD of the tube to the nut size. These are most common on Brine Tanks and older RO systems.

Description

Full Description: A high-performance, 10mm metric semi-rigid transfer tube manufactured from UV-stabilized Polyethylene (PE). This tubing is specifically designed for environments where light exclusion is critical to prevent organic growth and maintain fluid integrity over long distances.

Uses & Applications:

  • Outdoor Nutrient Delivery: Ideal for hydroponic systems exposed to sunlight.

  • Aquarium Plumbing: Used for sump returns and manifold systems where algae prevention is required.

  • Industrial Metric Systems: Compatible with European-standard metric pneumatic and fluid installations.

  • Algae-Sensitive Filtration: Best used for water lines that pass through high-light areas or near windows.

Benefits:

  • Total UV Protection: Carbon-black impregnated material prevents UV degradation and brittleness.

  • Algae-Block Technology: 100% opaque wall stops light penetration, keeping the internal bore clean and free of bio-clogs.

  • Environmental Stress Resistance: High-grade PE construction resists cracking and chemical wear.

  • Metric Precision: Extruded to exacting tolerances for a perfect seal in metric push-fittings.

Compatible Systems:

  • Standard 10mm Metric Quick-Connect (Push-in) fittings

  • 7mm Barbed hose-tail connectors

  • Metric-spec dosing and transfer pumps

Size & Dimensions:

  • Outer Diameter: 10 mm

  • Inner Diameter: 7 mm

  • Length: Sold per meter

  • Weight: ~0.06 kg per meter
