CUSTOM FABRICATED, FLARE-ENDED TUBING FOR RETROFIT OR NEW EQUIPMENT

Southampton, PA — Immediately available from NewAge Industries is custom fabricated, flare-ended tubing for a better fit on equipment, fittings, and attachments. NewAge fabricates custom ends on tubing of PVC, polyurethane, nylon, polyethylene, or fluoropolymer materials according to your specifications. Applications for the product include fluid, air, and gas transfer in industries such as chemical, medical, industrial, appliance, automotive, food and beverage, laboratories, and more. Flare-ended tubing offers several advantages. Better flow within the tube can be achieved because the flaring allows more room for attachments, such as barbed fittings. Easier installations are possible with flare ended tubing, too, as the expanded ends can be sized to slip over special attachments without difficulty. Tubing with flared ends can also be heat-formed with bends and curves to better work with and around equipment, eliminating kinks and awkward bends. This can be especially important in limited space applications where aesthetics are a concern. PVC, polyurethane, and fluoropolymers (PTFE, FEP, and PFA) provide characteristics such as chemical and fuel resistance, durability, flexibility, clarity for visual contact with the flow, and abrasion and wear resistance. Nylon and polyethylene are available in a variety of colors for coding purposes. Tubing with flared ends can be manufactured quickly when stocked tubing in these materials is used because all flared end work is done in-house by our experienced Fabrication Team. Many dies and bending forms already exist.
