Chevron Pneumatic Tubing 1063589 Pneumatic Tubing
The Chevron Pneumatic Tubing 1063589 is a high-grade flame retardant polyethylene tubing engineered specifically for technical pneumatic instrument controls and building automation systems. Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, this 1/4" OD (0.170" ID) black tubing is plenum rated, meeting UL 1820 and NFPA 90A standards for safe installation within ceiling cavities and raised floor air distribution spaces. Its composition ensures high stress-crack resistance and mechanical stability, making it the industry-standard choice for long-term reliability in air-conditioning and ventilating control circuits.
This 250-foot roll provides a versatile solution for contractors managing HVAC pneumatic systems, offering seamless compatibility with push-to-connect fittings and barbed couplings. The tubing is a direct technical replacement for legacy part numbers 1219-44003 and 2802-002. Designed for indoor low-pressure pulse control applications, it maintains physical integrity under varying temperature gradients typically found in commercial mechanical rooms. The 1/4 inch pneumatic tubing features a 0.040" wall thickness, optimizing the balance between flexibility for tight-radius routing and the structural rigidity required to prevent kinking during pneumatic control system upgrades.
- Plenum Rated Compliance: Fully certified to UL 1820 and NFPA 90A specifications for use in environmental air spaces.
- Superior Material Durability: Exclusively compounded flame retardant polyethylene provides stress-crack resistance and handles instantaneous burst pressures up to 350 psi.
- Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered as a drop-in replacement for 1219-44003 and 2802-002 to maintain system specification integrity.
- Optimized for HVAC Automation: The black polymer construction minimizes UV degradation and offers a professional finish for pneumatic control circuit routing.
- Ease of Installation: High flexibility allows for efficient installation in confined dampers, actuators, and sensor housings.
Is this tubing suitable for return air plenums?
Yes, as a plenum rated pneumatic tubing, it meets the flame and smoke characteristics required by NFPA 90A and UL 1820 for installation in air ducts and ceiling plenums.
What is the primary difference between this and standard PE tubing?
Standard polyethylene often lacks the fire-retardant additives required for building codes. This Chevron 1063589 is specifically compounded to be self-extinguishing and resistant to environmental stress cracking.
Will this work with standard 1/4" push-to-connect fittings?
Yes, the 1/4" outside diameter is held to tight tolerances to ensure a leak-proof seal with standard pneumatic fittings, including brass barbed and thermoplastic push-lock connectors.
