Industrial-grade nylon tubing sold by the metre. Ideal when you just need a short length to finish a job, replace a damaged section, or connect a single drinking point. No minimum order - buy exactly what you need.
Why Nylon Tubing?
This isn't the soft, cheap poly tubing you'll find at hardware stores. It's rigid, UV-stabilised nylon built for permanent outdoor installations. It won't degrade in the sun, won't kink under pressure, and won't need replacing in a year or two.
Works With Our Full Fittings Range
8mm outer diameter - sized to work with all Tefen barbed connectors, elbows, tees, and quick-connect fittings in our range. One system, all compatible.
Need More Than a Few Metres?
If you're building a full system, the rolls offer better value:
- 5 metre roll - $5.99 per metre
- 10 metre roll - $5.50 per metre
Planning Tip: Keep Your Tubing Out of Direct Sun
Black tubing absorbs heat. In direct sunlight, water sitting in small-diameter hose gets hot quickly - and chickens won't drink hot water.
When planning your system:
- Run tubing in shaded areas wherever possible
- For longer runs from your water source to header tank, bury the hose underground or cover it
- Position header tanks and drums in the shade
UV-stabilised means the tubing won't degrade in the sun - but it doesn't stop the water inside from heating up. A little planning during installation saves problems later.
Installation Tip: Our Nylon Hose is Tight-Fitting by Design
The 8mm hose we supply is industrial-grade nylon tubing - not the softer PE (polyethylene) tubing you'll find elsewhere. It's more rigid, UV-stabilised, and built to last years in outdoor conditions. The trade-off? It's tight to push onto barbed Tefen fittings.
To make installation easier: Dip the end of the hose in hot water for 30-60 seconds to soften it. It will slide onto the barb much more easily while warm.
We chose this tubing because it lasts. Cheaper, softer tubing is easier to install but degrades faster in the sun. Once your nylon hose is fitted, it's on for good.
