OD, and compression fittings designed for non-reinforced tubing are all commonly used. Confirm the fitting type is rated for the intended pressure and fluid, and follow the fitting manufacturer’s installation procedure. Clamp or secure barbed connections appropriately for the application.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n  \u003cdt\u003eWhat is the minimum bend radius for Series 2600 tubing?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eKuriyama’s published data for Series 2600 in this size should be consulted for the specific minimum bend radius. As a general rule for polyurethane tubing, avoid bending to a radius tighter than 4× the OD (approximately 2 in. \/ 50 mm for this size) to prevent kinking, flow restriction, and wall stress. Route the tubing with gradual curves where possible.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n  \u003cdt\u003eHow does operating temperature affect the pressure rating?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eWorking pressure decreases as temperature increases. At 70°F \/ 20°C the rating is 45 psi \/ 3.1 bar; at 122°F \/ 50°C it drops to 30 psi \/ 2.1 bar. For applications near hot engine components, confirm the actual tubing surface temperature stays within the rated range and derate the pressure accordingly. Do not use Series 2600 where sustained temperatures above 175°F \/ 80°C are expected.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\n  \u003cdt\u003eIs Series 2600 food-safe or FDA-compliant?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eKuriyama describes Series 2600 as manufactured from FDA-compliant polyurethane material.

The per-foot format suits customers who need a specific cut length for a custom installation rather than a full coil. At $3.48\/ft it is accessible for small-quantity marine accessory and rigging projects. The most common use cases in a marine context are low-pressure fluid-transfer lines, bilge-pump accessory connections, and non-engine-primary lubrication runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon customer questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most frequent issue is customers assuming this tubing can be used as a primary engine fuel line because it is fuel-resistant and clear. Always clarify that Series 2600 is a fluid-transfer tubing without SAE J1527 \/ USCG marine fuel-hose certification — for regulated engine fuel lines, direct them to a certified marine fuel hose. The second common question is fitting compatibility — confirm whether the customer needs barbed, push-to-connect, or compression fittings, and whether they are sizing by ID (3\/8 in.) or OD (1\/2 in.), since mixing up those dimensions is a frequent ordering mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FVW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563795546148,"sku":"C2600-0608X100","price":3.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/C2600-0608X100.png?v=1771897902","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/kuri-tec-series-2600-clear-polyurethane-tubing-c2600-0608x100","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
