FEP Tubing Specification Sheet

The FEP Tubing Specification Sheet from IDEX Health & Science outlines key features and guidelines for 1/16” and 1/8” outer diameter (OD) tubing, available in natural or colored variants. Made from FEP fluoropolymer—with or without colorants—this tubing is designed for high-performance fluid handling applications.

When paired with proper fittings and tightened to the correct torque levels, the tubing supports continuous working pressures of up to 3000 psi (approximately 207 bar), assuming the use of water at room temperature. It's important to note that pressure ratings will vary if different fluids or elevated temperatures are involved.

FEP tubing has a maximum recommended operating temperature of 50 °C, beyond which performance and pressure resistance may degrade. Dimensional tolerances are tight: ±0.001” for 1/16” OD tubing and ±0.003” for 1/8” OD tubing, ensuring precision and compatibility with fluid system components.

Packaging is performed using appropriately sized polyethylene bags, each labeled for identification. Regulatory compliance includes adherence to current RoHS and REACH standards, and the tubing is classified under HTS Code 3917.21.0050 and US ECCN Group EAR99.

Manufactured in Oak Harbor, Washington, this tubing is subject to specific handling considerations. Improper bending can compromise structural integrity, potentially leading to failure. Users are encouraged to consult the manufacturer for best practices when forming pre-bent assemblies.

This comprehensive specification sheet ensures that users can confidently select and apply FEP tubing in demanding applications, maintaining safety, performance, and regulatory compliance.
