Red Silicone Tube 8.5x14 is a flexible silicone rubber tubing with an inside diameter of approximately 8.5 mm and an outside diameter of 14 mm. The calculated wall thickness is approximately 2.75 mm.
The red color makes the tubing easy to identify in technical systems, while silicone provides good flexibility, elasticity, temperature resistance and aging resistance.
It can be considered for industrial machinery, technical equipment, air lines, liquid transfer, heating equipment, automation systems and flexible equipment connections, provided that the operating conditions are compatible with the tubing specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Red Silicone Tube 8.5x14?
It is silicone tubing with an approximately 8.5 mm inside diameter and 14 mm outside diameter.
What is it used for?
It can be used for air, compatible liquids, flexible connections and various technical equipment.
Is it heat resistant?
Yes. Silicone generally provides good temperature resistance, but the exact temperature range depends on the silicone grade.
Is it suitable for high pressure?
The size alone does not determine pressure resistance. Reinforced tubing may be required for high-pressure systems.
Is silicone resistant to oil?
Silicone is not the best choice for many continuous oil and fuel applications. NBR may be more suitable.
Can it be used for food?
Only when the product is specifically manufactured from food-grade silicone and meets the applicable requirements.
Can it be supplied by the meter?
Depending on the product specification, it may be supplied by meter, roll or custom-cut length.
Are other colors available?
Silicone tubing can be available in red, white, black, clear, translucent and other colors depending on the product range.
Can custom silicone tubing be produced?
Custom dimensions and specifications can be considered based on drawings, samples and technical requirements.
