Tubing Applications

REDUCE INSTALLATION TIME AND LABOR COST
Black tubing should be used in installations where thermoplastic tubing is exposed to sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation has a degrading effect on nearly all types of thermoplastic tubing unless the tubing has the protection of dark coloring. The amount of protection varies with density of color, and for this reason, black is the prime choice where sunlight exposure is encountered.
