Nycoil
Nycoil 1/2 in OD Nylon Tubing Black 50 ft
Black nylon tubing with 1/2 in outside diameter and 3/8 in inside diameter, rated to 267 psi at 68 Degrees F for 50 ft length
- Handles up to 267 psi at 68 °F
- Withstands heat up to 175 °F for demanding applications
- Resists vacuum up to 28 in Hg for suction tasks
- Shore D 60 hardness gives kink-resistant rigidity
- 50 ft coil reduces joints in long runs
1/2 in OD Nylon Air Tubing
This 50 ft coil of black nylon tubing is built for compressed-air lines in workshops and light-industrial settings. The 3/8 in inside diameter delivers ample flow for pneumatic tools while the Shore D 60 hardness resists kinking during routing. It is not suited for hydraulic systems or potable-water plumbing. Buyers needing higher pressure ratings or chemical-transfer compatibility should select a different material.
Thermals Pressure and Vacuum Limits
Rated to 267 psi at 68 Degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 175 Degrees F, the tubing handles typical shop compressor output with margin. Maximum vacuum pressure reaches 28 in Hg, so vacuum-hold fixtures will not collapse the wall. The nylon construction remains stable across this range without softening or becoming brittle. No jacket means heat dissipates directly from the tube surface.
Build Integration and Compatibility
The 1/2 in outside diameter fits standard push-to-connect and barbed fittings sized for that OD, simplifying manifold and tool connections. At 50 ft the coil allows long runs without splices, reducing potential leak points. Peristaltic pump use is not supported, so metering or dosing applications require alternative tubing. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1/2 in OD nylon tubing without kinking it?
Cut the 50 ft length to size, then push the 3/8 in ID firmly onto barbed fittings or use compression nuts rated for 267 psi at 68 Degrees F; the common mistake is skipping the deburr step, which leaves a sharp edge that cuts the Shore D 60 wall under pressure.
What maintenance or replacement will the nylon tubing need later?
Inspect the black tubing periodically for surface crazing or hardening caused by heat near the 175 Degrees F limit or by UV exposure; replace any section that shows cracks, permanent flattening, or loss of flexibility before it reaches the 28 in Hg vacuum rating.
What limit shows up first when the tubing runs at sustained pressure?
The 267 psi maximum operating pressure at 68 Degrees F is the first ceiling; as temperature climbs toward 175 Degrees F the allowable pressure drops, so the pressure-temperature envelope is reached before the 28 in Hg vacuum or Shore D 60 hardness limits.
