Nylon 11 D.O.T. Tubing
Click image to enlarge
Nylon D.O.T. tubing is made from nylon 11 resin, a unique material derived from castor beans, and is primarily used as break line tubing. Also known as polyamide 11, nylon 11 exhibits outstanding abrasion, chemical, impact, moisture, and thermal resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. It is ideal for use with instrumentation and pneumatic accessories that are connected to the air brake system. D.O.T tubing is required to meet SAE J844 specifications, and comes in two varieties: Type A and Type B.
Freelin-Wade currently produces type A nylon 11 D.O.T. tubing which meets SAE J844 specifications. We offer D.O.T. tubing in a wide range of sizes and colors, along with customized tubing that is tailored to your unique needs. Contact Freelin-Wade to learn more.
