Default 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.

I buy mine from :

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.
http://www.coleparmer.com/
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.
