Tygon® LP-1200
Tygon® LP-1200 - Clear, High- Performance Fuel Tubing
Designed to Meet Clean Air Regulatory Standards and Maintain Flexibility in Frigid Temperatures
Tygon® LP-1200 is low permeation fuel tubing specially designed to meet new EPA and CARB evaporative emission standards of 15g/m2/day. The patent-pending design and robust multi-layer construction offers superior fitting retention and resistance to swelling, hardening and cracking caused by hydrocarbon-based fluids.
Tygon LP-1200 is also designed to retain flexibility in frigid temperatures. Its formulation helps to prevent rupture while mantaining tube flexibility, lowering the risk of fuel system failure in cold weather conditions. Available in both standard and custom sizes and colors, Tygon LP-1200 tubing is ideal for lawn and garden power equipment, small engine fuel lines, and lubricating oil and grease transfer lines. It meets ANSI B175.1 Annex D standard.
