12.5mm Clear Yellow Tygon Hose F-4040A

12.5 mm F-4040A is a transfer and drain size rather than a carburettor line. Stock code TYGON1/2 goes onto sump drains, decanting rigs, tank vents and any bench job where the operator needs to see what is flowing. The pressure ceiling here is 15 psi, so it works on gravity and low-lift duty; it is not a pumped line. Working temperature is 0 to 74°C and the tubing suits fuels, lubricants and some chemicals.

Key features

• 12.5 mm inside diameter
• Tygon formulation F-4040-A
• Maximum pressure 15 psi, gravity and low-lift duty
• Temperature range 0 to 74°C
• Fuels, lubricants and some chemicals
• Stock code TYGON1/2
• Supplied in 1 m to 12 m cut lengths or a 15 m box

Applications

• Oil and sump draining in the workshop
• Decanting fuel and lubricant from drums
• Tank vent and overflow lines
• Sight and observation runs on process rigs
• Waste and drain lines on small equipment

Compatibility and fitting

• Fits a 12.5 mm barb or spigot, clamped at both ends
• Keep runs short and falling: at 15 psi this is not a hose to push fluid through under pressure
• Where clarity matters but the fluid is water, clear vinyl tube is the cheaper option

Can I use it to drain hot oil?

Only within the 74°C ceiling. Oil straight out of a hot engine is often above that, so let it cool before draining through the tube, or it will soften and deform at the barb.
