Tygon® F-4040-A

Lubricant and Fuel Tubing
Tygon® F-4040-A tubing from Saint-Gobain resists the swelling and hardening caused by hydrocarbon-based fluids – significantly reducing the risk of failure due to cracks and leaks. Its minimum extractability safeguards the liquid or vapor being transferred against adulteration. This tubing is routinely used to handle gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, cutting compounds, and glycol-based coolants. It is extremely flexible and ideal for small engines due to its ability to maneuver tight places and simplify installation. This product’s translucent yellow color stands out for identification purposes, yet allows you to easily view and monitor the fuels and lubricants flowing through it.
