Silcon® Silicone Tubing
For beer transfer involving your mash vessel, brew kettle and hot liquor tank, silicone tubing offers purity and withstands temperatures up to 350°F. You can also sterilize this tubing to reuse it and save money.


- Able to resist extreme temperature variation: -100°F to 350°F (500°F maximum for non-NSF applications)
- Listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-51) for food equipment materials
- Raw materials meet FDA requirements for use with food contact surfaces
- Translucent natural color for visual contact with beer
- Conforms to 3-A Sanitary Standards for Number 18-03 (Multiple Use Rubber and Rubber-Like Materials)
- Resilient, stretchable and resistant to compression set
- Reusable and will withstand repeated sterilization*
- Odorless, tasteless and inert
- Free of BPA and phthalates
- Made in the USA with solar power
Notes
The most outstanding properties of Silcon are its purity, flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. Peroxide-cured Silcon contains no sulphur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding or deteriorating materials it contacts. It is also extremely resistant to ozone and UV over long time periods. Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps for Silcon as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the tubing wall and lead to failure.
*Silcon may be low-pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced. Silcon is not recommended for continuous steam applications.
