Heavy wall rubber tubing
Unlike thin wall silicone tubing which are primarily used in medicine, heavy wall rubber tubing have a completely different purpose. Whether natural rubber or synthetic rubber is used for production, heavy wall rubber tubing is very durable. Heavy wall rubber tubing, which you will find on the market under the names rubber hose and rubber piping, is most often used in hydraulics and as pneumatic equipment, so it is an indispensable part of the aviation industry, space industry, auto industry and other similar industries. Of course, it can be used in home use and in various other places, but heavy industries are certainly the primary users of heavy wall rubber tubing.
Since it is resilient, tear resistant, abrasion resistant you can count on heavy wall rubber tubing not to be damaged even in the most hostile environments. High and low temperatures will also not damage it or contribute to rapid deterioration or loss of primary functions. Heavy wall rubber tubing made of synthetic rubber is also used in laboratories, as well as at gas stations, oil platforms and similar places due to its excellent chemical resistance and flame retardancy, which is crucial for contact with chemicals and gasoline.
Pressure rating is maximum pressures the heavy wall rubber tubing is designed to withstand and there also you can count on great performance. As for the thickness of the wall, the thickness can be 5 mm, and even more, over 6 mm, which is a huge difference compared to thin wall silicone tubing, because thin wall silicone tubing are as thin as 0.05 mm. If you are going to use heavy wall rubber tubing for a special purpose, so you need a specific wall thickness or a certain type of rubber like Polyurethane, Nitrile rubber or some other type, you can contact the manufacturer and order a custom product.
Rubber Hose Size Catalog
Compare tube bore, outside diameter and available wall thickness. Confirm material compatibility and operating requirements for the selected hose.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Hollow elastomer tubing for a fitted line or sleeve
- Material options discussed
- Silicone, NBR and natural rubber / latex. Choose one formulation for the actual contact and loading conditions.
- Application focus
- Medical-device assemblies, aircraft equipment and laboratory connections. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to medical-device assemblies and aircraft equipment.
- Wall control
- Dimension wall thickness separately from the bore; check the required bending behavior and connection fit at that thickness.
- Contact conditions
- Medicinal contents, other gases, lubricating oil and fuel: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Heat and cold cycling, rubbing or abrasion and oil splash. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
