Convoluted Tubing

Zeus Convoluted TubingBackground

The exceptional electrical and chemical properties of fluoropolymers, combined with the flexible advantages of convoluting technology, brings a fantastic range of tubing applications to the industrial world.

As a pioneer in fluoropolymer extrusion technology, Zeus provides the electrical, electronics, aerospace, analytical, military, chemical, automotive, medical and other industries with convoluted tubing that can stand up to the abuse of hostile environments. Zeus' method of helically convoluting the tubing allows a smaller bend radius than regular smooth bore tubing.

Flex Options

Zeus convoluted tubing can be produced in both standard sizes and extra flex sizes configurations. Extra flexible convoluted tubing is achieved by manufacturing tubing with a greater number of convolutions per inch. These extra convolutions allow the material to flex without kinking around tighter bend diameters. Convoluted tubing is also available in thin wall sizes.

MIL SPECS

Our 40+ years of experience has allowed us to assist some government agencies in revising these specifications. Zeus convoluted tubing is produced to MIL SPECS AMS-T-81914/ variants 1-6 in both standard and extra convoluted.

Colors

Zeus convoluted tubing can be produced in a wide range of colors. Standard colors are natural and black. PTFE tubing produced to MIL SPEC is black while all other resins are natural color.

Slitting and Cuffing

Longitudinal slitting of the convoluted tubing as well as cuffing of PTFE tubing are also available upon request. Slitting convoluted tubing allows pre-existing wires to be conveniently slipped into the tubing. Cuffing of Zeus PTFE convoluted tubing provides the ideal smooth surface to attach mechanical connectors and fittings.
