Chevron Pneumatic Tubing 1063778 Tubing

For high-performance pneumatic control air systems, the Chevron Pneumatic Tubing 1063778 (interchangeable with 2802-003) provides the mechanical reliability required for critical HVACR and Building Automation Systems (BAS). This 250-foot roll of 3/8" OD plenum rated pneumatic tubing is manufactured from a flame-retardant, high-density polyethylene (PE) compound, engineered specifically to resist environmental stress cracking over long-term deployment. With an inner diameter of 0.250" and a robust 0.062" wall thickness, it maintains dimensional stability and kink resistance under standard operating pressures, featuring a 350 PSI burst pressure rating. Designed for installation in air ducts and environmental air spaces, this black pneumatic tubing meets UL 1820 standards for flame spread and smoke optical density, ensuring compliance with NFPA 90A fire safety protocols. The opaque black finish offers superior UV resistance, preventing material degradation in exposed service areas. This is the industrial standard for connecting actuators, terminal unit controllers, and pneumatic thermostats in commercial environments.

Key Benefits

• Plenum Rated Compliance: Meets UL 1820 and NFPA 90A requirements for safe installation within environmental air plenums and ceiling cavities.
• High Stress-Crack Resistance: Exceeds ASTM D 1693 standards to prevent brittle failure and leaks in aging pneumatic control circuits.
• Chemical and UV Stability: The exclusively compounded black polyethylene provides protection against ultraviolet breakdown and common mechanical room contaminants.
• Ease of Routing: Lightweight and highly flexible material allows for fast pulls through restrictive conduit and tight radius bends without kinking.
• Direct Compatibility: Professionally cross-referenced as identical to part 2802-003, facilitating seamless replacement in existing Chevron Plexco and performance pipe installations.

Common Questions

Is this tubing suitable for exposure to direct sunlight?
Yes. The black pigmentation is specifically formulated for UV resistance, making it more durable for outdoor or exposed applications compared to clear or translucent variants.

Can I use standard barbed fittings with this product?
Absolutely. The 3/8" OD and 0.250" ID dimensions are standard for the HVAC industry, making this tubing compatible with most 3/8" pneumatic barbed fittings and compression connectors.

What is the maximum pressure this tubing can handle?
While the burst pressure is rated at approximately 350 PSI to 500 PSI depending on ambient temperature, it is designed for standard pneumatic instrument control loops typically operating between 0 and 30 PSI.
