Application

Dekabon 1300 is a unique composite-wall tubing designed for pneumatic instrument control systems. Its fully-bonded polyethylene/aluminum construction combines the advantages of both metal and plastic tubing.

Chemical Resistance

The outer, high-density polyethylene layer is impervious to most chemical-containing atmospheres and enables Dekabon 1300 to out perform practically all types of unprotected metal tubing.

Greater Strength

The inner aluminum layer adds tube wall strength that permits Dekabon 1300 to span large distances without additional support. It also makes a perfect tubing choice for direct burial without additional protection, from concrete to earth installations. Dekabon 1300's shape-holding ability can provide neat looking bends without special bending tools. Yet the metal reinforced tube wall gives Dekabon 1300 greater pressure ratings than just plain plastic tubing.

Easy to Install

Dekabon 1300 can be cut cleanly with a standard utility knife. Tube O.D.'s are sized to connect with standard compression fittings without special tube preparation. Tubing is manufactured in long, continuous lengths which can eliminate many fitting connections, yet it's light enough for an installer to carry to practically any location.

Low Cost

Dekabon 1300 costs only a fraction of the cost associated with coated metal tubing or tubing made from one of the expensive corrosion resistant metals.
