Construction & Design

This tubing kit features high-grade nylon material known for its excellent chemical resistance, flexibility, and strength. The 1/8" diameter tubing is ideal for precise pressure transmission in automotive and industrial settings. The brass compression fittings are machined to exact specifications, ensuring a snug fit that prevents leaks and maintains consistent pressure readings. The fittings are corrosion-resistant, adding to the longevity and durability of the entire assembly.

The kit's design emphasizes ease of installation, with straightforward compression fittings that do not require special tools beyond standard wrenches. The 12-foot length allows for versatile routing, whether in engine bays, dashboards, or industrial control panels. The operating temperature range ensures the tubing performs reliably from cold winter conditions to hot engine environments.

Performance & Sound

While this tubing kit does not directly influence vehicle performance or sound, it plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate pressure readings and system integrity. The high burst pressure rating of 1,000 PSI provides a safety margin for high-pressure applications, preventing failures that could compromise your gauges or systems. The durable nylon construction maintains consistent flow and pressure transmission, supporting precise diagnostics and monitoring.

Installation & Fitment

Installing the AutoMeter Nylon Tubing Kit is straightforward and requires minimal tools. The compression fittings are designed for quick, secure connections to your pressure gauges and fittings. Simply cut the tubing to your desired length, insert it into the fittings, and tighten the compression ferrules to create a leak-proof seal. No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is necessary, making it an ideal choice for both professional and DIY installations.

• Ensure the tubing is cut cleanly and squarely for optimal sealing.
• Use appropriate wrenches to tighten fittings without over-tightening, which could damage the fittings or tubing.
• Verify all connections are secure before pressurizing the system.
