10mm Clear Vinyl Tube

10mm clear vinyl tube (part CVT10) is the largest of the small bores and a common size for transfer work: sump and condensate drains, pump suction on small units, and any job where you want to watch what is moving through the line. The tube is unreinforced virgin PVC with a light blue tint, so the line stays soft, bends easily and lets you see exactly what is moving through it.

Key features

• Nominal inside diameter 10mm, outside diameter 13mm
• Working pressure 0.4 MPa (58 psi) at 20°C
• Operating temperature -5°C to +60°C
• Clear with a blue tint, so flow and blockages are visible
• Virgin PVC conforming to AS/NZS 2070 for plastics in food contact, and EU RoHS compliant
• Good chemical resistance and a moderate level of UV protection
• Supplied cut to length or as a full coil (30 m and 75 m)

Applications

• Sump and condensate drains
• Small pump suction and delivery
• Fluid transfer on equipment
• Aquaculture and pond lines
• Food and beverage transfer

Compatibility and fitting

• Sizing is by inside diameter: 10mm tube fits a 10mm barb or spigot
• Secure with a hose clamp or crimp ferrule sized to the 13mm outside diameter
• Warming the end in hot water makes it far easier to push onto a tight barb
• For pressure work choose a reinforced hose from the PVC hose range rather than unreinforced tube

Is this tube reinforced?

No. It is a non reinforced tube, which is why it stays soft and flexible and why the pressure rating is modest. If you need pressure, use a braided or reinforced PVC hose instead.

Other bores from 3 mm to 50 mm are in the clear vinyl tube range.
