Copely nylon tube is a high-performance solution for pneumatic and fluid transfer systems, offering a strong balance of flexibility, durability and chemical resistance. Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances, this range is designed to meet the demands of industrial, automotive and engineering environments where consistent performance and long service life are essential.
Produced from impact modified PA12 and compliant with recognised standards including BS 5409, DIN 73378, DIN 74324 and ISO 7628, Copely nylon tubing provides reliable compatibility across professional systems. With a smooth internal bore, excellent abrasion resistance and a 4:1 safety factor, it is built for dependable operation in both static and dynamic applications.
Why Choose Nylon Tube?
Nylon tubing is widely used across industry due to its unique combination of mechanical strength and flexibility. Compared to many alternative materials, it offers a more robust and versatile solution for demanding environments.
High strength with flexibility: Nylon maintains structural integrity under pressure while remaining flexible enough for easy routing.
Excellent abrasion resistance: Ideal for applications where tubing may be exposed to movement, contact or friction.
Low moisture absorption: Helps maintain consistent performance even in humid or changing environmental conditions.
Wide chemical resistance: Suitable for a broad range of industrial fluids and operating environments.
Stable across temperature ranges: Heat and light stabilisation ensures reliable performance over time.
Smooth internal bore: Promotes efficient flow and reduces pressure loss within systems.
This combination of properties makes nylon tube a dependable choice where both performance and longevity are critical.

Colour Options and System Organisation
Available in a variety of colours, including natural, black, red, blue, green and yellow. Colour coding is often used in complex systems to identify different circuits or media, helping to simplify installation, reduce errors and improve ongoing maintenance.
Natural: Semi-transparent for visual flow monitoring.
Black: Suitable for environments where protection from light exposure is required.
Coloured options: Support clear identification of multiple lines within a single system.
Using colour-coded tubing can significantly improve efficiency when working on large or multi-line installations.
Applications
Pneumatic systems: Used for compressed air lines, control circuits and automation systems across manufacturing and processing environments.
Air brake systems: Commonly used in automotive and transport applications where consistent pressure handling is essential.
Fuel transfer: Suitable for low to medium-pressure fuel lines requiring chemical resistance and durability.
Lubrication systems: Ideal for delivering oils and lubricants within machinery and mechanical systems.
Industrial production lines: Used throughout manufacturing environments for routing air and fluids in both static and moving applications.
Automotive and mobile equipment: Performs reliably in systems exposed to vibration, movement and varying operating conditions.
General fluid transfer: A versatile option for a wide range of industrial fluid handling applications.
Installation
Quick and straightforward to install, making it ideal for both new systems and maintenance work. For best results, ensure the tube is cut cleanly and square using a suitable tube cutter, as this helps achieve a secure and leak-free connection.
Once cut, check that the tube end is free from burrs or damage before inserting into the fitting. Nylon tube is commonly used with push-fit fittings, allowing for fast, tool-free connections that can be easily installed and removed when required.
For reliable performance, always ensure the tube is fully inserted into the fitting to the correct depth, and avoid excessive bending below the recommended radius to maintain flow and structural integrity.
Every aspect of Copely nylon tube is designed with long-term performance in mind. From its resistance to wear and chemicals, to its ability to handle demanding operating conditions, it offers a dependable solution for engineers, installers and maintenance teams alike.
Whether used in fixed systems or applications involving movement and vibration, Copely nylon tubing provides the consistency and durability needed to keep systems running efficiently.
