RS CO2 Proof Silicone Premium Tubing – 1/4″ (10 ft)

Introduction

CO2-Proof Tubing – Normal airline tubing can lose up to 20% of CO2 through its membrane. Silicone tubing reacts w/ CO2 and render it less efficient (thus the silicone hardening over time under CO2 usage). Our special CO2 Resistant Tubing loses less than 1% of CO2. Also perfect for saltwater use (eg: Kalkreaktor). Rated Class I for both CO2 and saltwater applications. Unlike other so-called CO2 Tubing which is rigid, ours is soft and flexible. Peroxide-cured Silcon contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials it comes in contact with. Care is recommended in selecting fittings and clamps for Silcon as sharp barbs or unlined metal clamps could tear into the wall and possibly cause a failure. Silcon is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses or continuous steam applications. Silcon may be low-pressure steam-sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced. Not for use with fuels.
