Parker® polyethylene (PE) tubing is produced from a high molecular weight resin to provide increased dimensional stability, uniformity and long-term strength. Parker® PE tubing meets the FDA and NSF-51 requirements for food contact applications and NSF-61 for potable water. The tubing may be used in general-purpose instrument applications as well as all food handling applications except holding food during cooking. The black tubing, EB series, contains an ultraviolet inhibitor which is recommended for use in sunlit areas and in close proximity to high, ultraviolet light sources. Standard black is not approved for food handling applications, but NSF-listed and FDA-compliant black can be ordered on special request. A tube support should be used with this tubing for maximum holding power where end loading, vibration or pressure spikes may occur.
