Tygon® LP-1500
EPA and CARB certified tubing for low permeation emission
Designed for Gasoline-Powered, Handheld Equipment
Specially designed to meet new government regulatory standards to reduce the harmful health effects of ozone and carbon monoxide, Tygon® LP-1500 tubing low permeation fuel tubing is an environmentally responsible tubing for fuel line applications in small engines and lawn & garden equipment (lawn mowers, snow blowers, chain saws, line trimmers, gas leaf blowers, etc.).
The tubing’s robust, multi-layer design features barriers to minimize permeation, with a chemical and fuel resistant inner layer and a UV resistant outer jacket to prevent premature aging. Offering superior clarity and flexibility, Tygon LP-1500 tubing provides easy observation of fuel flow and is ideal for hand-held outdoor power equipment.
