Source for colored polyurethane tubing
 
Hello everyone,

I am looking for 4mm OD polyurethane tubing (similar to the 4mm clear tubing supplied with JetCat turbines) in many colors.

Does anyone know of a source?

Thanks in advance,

Hey Matt, I ordered the 4mm Festo tubing from Great Northern Models. I guess they are located about 30 min from the main US Festo distro center. I bought mine in 50' rolls. Otherwise good ol McMaster Karr has them on page 105 under tubing. The also about 15 cents cheaper per foot.

Matt,

McMaster has it. Do a search for part # 50315K22 Choose-A-Color Metric Polyurethane Tubing comes in inch and metric sizes. I've used the 4mm metric stuff for fuel tubing and the inch sizes for air line. Get a lot for only a few bucks.

Also sent you a copy of my McMaster list to your work e-mail.

You want product 1J-156-** where you fill the ** in by adding the 2 digit color code.

Matt,
Cole-Parmer has any type and size and color of tubing you could ever want. They also have lots of great fittings and quick disconnects too.

Only drawback is they do have a minimum order (can't remember if it is $50 or $100).

Thanks everyone (and Joe and Sean via PM). These are some good sources, I appreciate it. I really came up dry on my own searches.

BTW I need the tubing for hydraulic lines on my MIG, so I do not want to have to order too much as I do not think I would be able to give the excess away! Not much use for colored 4mm tubing as far as I can tell.

I need about 10-15 feet of as many different colors as I can get (I have between 13 and 19 hydraulic cylinders plus hydraulic brakes, depending on how I decide to do things).

Thanks again,

You're more than welcome to give any excess away to me ... I don't care what color the fuel line is in any of my models ;)

Matt,

McMaster has always indicated small orders are welcome.

Most times if I order by 4 pm, the UPS guy shows up the next day with it.
