Product catalog summary
Overview
Tygon® Power F-4040-A tubing is specifically designed to resist hydrocarbons, making it suitable for handling most fuels and industrial lubricants. It is engineered to prevent swelling and hardening caused by hydrocarbon-based fluids, reducing the risk of failure due to cracking and leakage. The tubing's flexibility simplifies installation, even in confined spaces, and its translucent yellow color aids in flow monitoring.

Specifications
The tubing is routinely used for gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, cutting compounds, and glycol-based coolants. It is the most requested tubing for fuel and lubricant applications, including small engine fuel lines and coolant transfer. Other Tygon® formulations are available to meet new permeation standards.

Features and Benefits
  • Resists embrittlement and swelling
  • Compatible with most hydrocarbons
  • Highly flexible and easy to install
  • Ozone and UV light resistant
  • Suitable for small engine fuel lines, general automotive, recreational vehicles, lawn and garden equipment, coolant transfer, heating fuels, cutting compounds, polishing equipment, and lubrication lines
