Hangzhou Evershine Pneumatic Import & Export Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of polyethylene pneumatic tubing in China. With abundant experience, we are committed to providing high quality pneumatic components to global clients. Welcome to wholesale custom made polyethylene pneumatic tubing from our factory. Also, OEM service is available.
We've supplied PE tubing to workshops and factories for years, and it's become a popular choice for general-purpose pneumatic lines where flexibility and high-pressure resistance aren't the top priorities. One customer running a small assembly shop told us he switched to PE tubing after spending too much on premium hoses that were overkill for his low-pressure applications. He's been using PE ever since.
Whether you're running basic air lines, setting up a simple pneumatic control system, or looking for a clear tubing option to monitor flow, polyethylene pneumatic tubing is worth a closer look.
Product Introduction
Polyethylene Pneumatic Tubing – PE Air Hose for General-Purpose Pneumatic Systems is designed to solve a very real problem that we see all the time in smaller workshops and light industrial settings – the need for reliable pneumatic tubing that doesn't cost more than the application requires.
The WAALPC polyethylene pneumatic tubing range tackles that head-on. It provides the basic performance that general pneumatic lines need – reliable air delivery, good chemical resistance, and a cost point that makes sense for non-critical applications. PE tubing is stiffer than PU but softer than nylon, making it a practical middle ground for many everyday pneumatic tasks.
This tubing is suitable for air, water, and various chemicals. It's available in metric and inch sizes, including the popular 10mm pneumatic hose size and clear pneumatic tubing options for visual flow monitoring. Standard colours include black, white, blue, red, and natural – with custom colours available on request.
Whether you're building a simple control panel, running air to a basic tool, or looking for a transparent tubing option, this polyethylene pneumatic tubing does one thing well: it gets the job done. That's the whole point.
【Feature】– What you actually get
The PE series covers the sizes and configurations that handle general-purpose pneumatic applications:
Metric sizes – I.D. from 2.0mm to 10.0mm, O.D. from 4.0mm to 14.0mm.
Inch sizes – I.D. from 1.57mm to 9.65mm, O.D. from 3.2mm to 12.0mm.
Length options – 100m and 200m reels as standard. Custom lengths available.
Colours – Black, white, blue, red, natural. Clear (transparent) options available for flow monitoring.
Temperature range – -20°C to +60°C. Suitable for most indoor industrial environments.
All tubing is compatible with push-in fittings, compression fittings, and standard barbed fittings.
【Advantage】– Why this tubing earns its place
The first thing people notice is the cost. Polyethylene tubing is significantly more affordable than PU or nylon, making it a practical choice for applications where premium performance isn't necessary. If you're running low-pressure air lines or basic pneumatic controls, PE gets the job done without the premium price tag.
The second thing is chemical resistance. PE handles a wide range of chemicals and solvents that would degrade other materials. That makes it a good choice for applications where the air supply might contain traces of oil, moisture, or other contaminants.
And then there's the clear option. Transparent PE tubing lets you see what's flowing through the line – whether it's air, water, or a chemical. That visual feedback is invaluable for troubleshooting and monitoring system performance.
【Benefit】– What it means on the shop floor
Let's keep this practical.
Lower material costs. PE tubing costs less than PU or nylon, which matters when you're running long lines or multiple circuits. The savings add up quickly.
Reliable performance for basic applications. For low-pressure air lines, control panels, and general pneumatic tasks, PE tubing delivers exactly what's needed – no more, no less.
Visual flow monitoring. The clear tubing option lets you see what's happening inside the line. That makes troubleshooting faster and system monitoring easier.
Simpler inventory. One tubing family covers a wide range of sizes and colours. You don't need to juggle multiple product lines or guess whether the tubing on your shelf is the right one for the job.
【Evidence】– The numbers behind the tubing
We test this tubing the same way we test everything else – under conditions that mimic real use, not laboratory ideals.
The PE series handles temperatures from -20°C to +60°C. Hardness is suitable for general pneumatic applications. Working pressure varies by size – smaller diameters handle higher pressures, with typical working pressures up to 0.8 MPa or higher depending on wall thickness and temperature.
Bending radii range from 13.0mm for the smallest sizes up to 80.0mm for the largest. These tubing products are installed in thousands of pneumatic systems worldwide – on light assembly lines, control panels, and general workshop air systems. They've been proven in the field for years.

FAQ
1. What is polyethylene pneumatic tubing used for?
It's used for general-purpose pneumatic lines where cost and chemical resistance are priorities. Common applications include low-pressure air lines, control panels, and basic pneumatic systems.
2. What's the difference between PE, PU, and nylon tubing?
PE (polyethylene) is the most economical option – good for general-purpose lines. PU (polyurethane) is more flexible and better for moving applications. Nylon (PA) handles higher pressures and temperatures.
3. What sizes are available?
Metric sizes from 2.0mm to 10.0mm I.D., and inch sizes from 1.57mm to 9.65mm I.D. O.D. ranges from 3.2mm to 14.0mm.
4. Do you offer clear tubing?
Yes. Clear (transparent) PE tubing is available for applications where visual flow monitoring is useful.
5. What's the temperature range?
-20°C to +60°C.
6. Is this tubing compatible with push-in fittings?
Yes. It works with push-in fittings, compression fittings, and standard barbed fittings.
Installation & Maintenance Tips – A few things we've learned from the field
We've been around enough workshops to know that small details make a big difference. Here are a few things worth keeping in mind:
Cut the tube squarely. A clean, perpendicular cut is the difference between a leak-free connection and a slow leak. Use a proper tube cutter – not a pair of side cutters.
Don't over-bend. PE tubing is stiffer than PU, so it has a larger minimum bend radius. Forcing it into a tight bend will cause kinks. Check the specification for your specific size.
Keep it out of direct sunlight. Prolonged UV exposure can degrade PE tubing over time. If routing outdoors, use a protective conduit or choose a UV-resistant grade.
Use the right fittings. PE tubing works with standard push-in fittings, but make sure they're rated for the tubing material. Mixing and matching can cause leaks.
Replace damaged tubing promptly. A small crack or abrasion point will grow under pressure. Replace the tubing before it fails completely – it's cheaper than the downtime.
That's about it. A few simple habits and this polyethylene pneumatic tubing will keep performing for years.
