What are the different types of Flexible PVC Pipe? Flexible PVC Pipe This Flexible PVC Pipe, commonly referred to as “flex PVC”, “flex tubing”, “spa tubing” and “flexible PVC” is perfect for use with pools, spas, hot tubs, water gardening (ponds, waterfalls, fountains), aquariums and fish hatcheries, irrigation, farming and gardening, sprinkler lines and other applications where the utilization of rigid pipe is either not practical or not desirable. Strong and long-lasting this hose is ultra-flexible, and can easily be routed in any direction necessary without the use of multiple fittings, thus simplifying plumbing layouts and the installation of your job. It can be used in areas where space (for fittings) is limited and/or in situations that simply will not accommodate rigid pipe. It is sunlight, ozone and mildew resistant (although we do not recommend installations in continual sunlight). Our Flexible PVC Pipe easily conforms to almost any contour, and experiences less heat loss than comparable copper or steel pipe. A rigid internal PVC spiral resists crushing and impact issues, and this PVC pipe can be used for above-ground or under-ground installations (with proper cushioning). It can also be used as a conduit to run protected electrical, cable, phone or fiber optic lines and can also be used as a protective liner for softer hoses or tubes. Our Flexible PVC Pipe is easy enough for almost anyone to use. Trimming or cutting is much simpler than with rigid PVC pipe (it can be cut with PVC pipe cutters, a standard hack saw, a carpenters saw, etc.) and it accepts standard Schedule 40 fittings. It can be easily glued using any good commercially available glue for flexible or rigid PVC. It eliminates back-pressure caused by sharp turns created by multiple fittings, which increases the efficiency of your system and lowers your overall operating/energy cost. Each fitting eliminated with this highly-flexible pipe is one less fitting that can fail and cause your system to leak. It also coils easily for storage and transport. It is specifically designed for use in the installation and maintenance of water gardens, koi ponds, fountains, pools, watering systems, spas, hot tubs, swimming pools, irrigation and other similar water transfer applications where flexibility and ease of use is demanded.

What are the different types of Flexible PVC Pipe?

Flexible PVC PipeThis Flexible PVC Pipe, commonly referred to as “flex PVC”, “flex tubing”, “spa tubing” and “flexible PVC” is perfect for use with pools, spas, hot tubs, water gardening (ponds, waterfalls, fountains), aquariums and fish hatcheries, irrigation, farming and gardening, sprinkler lines and other applications where the utilization of rigid pipe is either not practical or not desirable. Strong and long-lasting this hose is ultra-flexible, and can easily be routed in any direction necessary without the use of multiple fittings, thus simplifying plumbing layouts and the installation of your job.

Flexible Liquid Tight Electrical ConduitThis Flexible, Non-Metallic PVC Liquid Tight conduit, commonly referred to as “NM Liquid Tight”, “flexible conduit”, “Non-Metallic PVC” and “PVC Electrical Conduit” is perfect for use in multiple applications for electrical, telephone, cable, HVAC, Refrigeration, landscape lighting and more.Manufactured with a strong yet flexible PVC covering that is smooth inside for easy wire pulling, this Flexible Liquid Tight Electrical Conduit is perfect where the conditions of installation or operation require flexibility and protections from liquids, vapors, solids and the elements (it is cold, heat and sunlight resistant).Constructed of high-quality materials, it is sunlight, ozone, liquid and mildew resistant. It is lightweight and flexible, but it won’t collapse, crimp or leak around curves. It has a rigid PVC spiral which provides strength which is surrounded by a flexible PVC jacket for flexibility and water-resistance. UL and CUL approved. This conduit, when utilized with approved fittings, provides complete ground integrity.It is specifically designed for use for machinery, air conditioning, heating applications and outdoor lighting. It is used in industrial and commercial applications for conveyors, blowers, air conditioners, heaters, machine tooling and lubrication equipment, as well as for flexible connections for swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and pond and water garden motors and pumps.

Flexible Black Corrugated Non-Kink PVC Water Garden Pond Hose This Non-Kink Flexible PVC tubing, commonly referred to as “kink free tubing”, “water garden hose”, “pond tubing” and “corrugated pond tubing” is perfect for use with water gardening, ponds, waterfalls, fountains and aquariums. Smooth on the inside to speed water flow, reduce material build-up and reduce friction, this lightweight tubing can easily be routed in any direction necessary without the use of multiple fittings, thus simplifying plumbing layouts and the installation of your job. It can be used in areas where space (for fittings) is limited and/or in situations that simply will not accommodate rigid pipe. Constructed of high-quality materials, it is sunlight, ozone and mildew resistant (although we do not recommend installations in continual sunlight). The black color prevents sunlight penetration which reduces the ability for algae to grow, and makes it practically invisible underwater. It is lightweight and flexible, but it won’t collapse, crimp or leak around curves or if buried under a reasonable amount of stones or dirt. It makes a great replacement for rigid pipe or for standard vinyl tubing, and is available in standard (MM) or wider (UL) sizes. Our Non-Kink Flexible PVC Tubing is easy enough for almost anyone to use. Trimming or cutting is much simpler than with rigid PVC pipe (it can be cut with PVC pipe cutters, a standard hack saw, a carpenters saw, etc.) Each fitting eliminated with this highly-flexible pipe is one less fitting that can fail and cause your system to leak. The smooth interior reduces friction, increasing your efficiency and lowering your overall operating cost. It also coils easily for storage and transport.It is specifically designed for use in the installation and maintenance of water gardens, koi ponds, waterfalls, fountains, aquariums and other similar water transfer applications where flexibility and ease of use is demanded.

Flexible PVC Electrical ConduitThis Flexible, Non-Metallic PVC conduit, commonly referred to as Flexible Electrical Conduit, “Flexible Conduit”, “Flexible Raceway” and “PVC Electrical Conduit” is perfect for use in multiple applications for telephone, cable, office and computer wiring and more.Constructed of non-metallic flexible PVC, it can be used in extremely tight situations. It resists corrosion, oil, water crushing and stretching, and works well in medium vibration areas. It provides flexible protective covering for otherwise “loose” wire runs, keeping your wiring neat, protected and tangle-free. Great for use in offices and in auto, trailer and marine applications.It is lightweight and manufactured from tough, nonconductive materials. Installation is quick, easy and efficient and the low-friction design allows easy wire pulling while the conduits flexibility eliminates the need for bending equipment.

HDPE PipeHigh Density Polyethylene Tubing is also known as HDPE Pipe, Poly Pipe, PE Pipe, Pressure Pipe or Polyethylene Pipe. This Plastic Pipe is flexible, rugged, light weight, corrosion resistant, can withstand sterlization by boiling and is produced from raw materials which meet FDA requirements. HDPE tubing is widely used in transporting air, water and chemicals. Not only is this pipe durable and easy to install, it can be joined together by heat fusion making it leak free.

Flexible Corrugated Split Wire LoomPolyethylene corrugated split tubing, also known as split loom, split tube, wire loom, split wire loom, split loom tubing, and PE wire loom, is a flexible light weight cable organizer. It provides protection from abrasion, puncture, vibration, friction, sunlight, and liquids. A convenient slit along the length of the tube lets you slide your cords in through the side -- no need to "thread" your wires through the tube. Once your cords are inserted, the slit closes and you are left with one neat and orderly cable bundle. Split tubing is often preferred over braided sleeving or spiral wrap due to its ease of installation. It is the quickest and easiest method of wire harness assembly for use on Auto's, Electronics, Appliances, Electrical Panels, Marine Equipment and many more.
