RPI RPT462 Tubing 1/8" Id X 3/8" Od (Silbrade)

Yes, this tubing is engineered for demanding environments. It features a reinforced braid construction specifically designed for structural integrity in pressurized applications, with a working pressure rating of 233 PSI at 70°F.

Absolutely. The Silbrade silicone construction is rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 350°F, making it an ideal choice for the rigorous heat requirements of autoclave and sterilizer equipment.

Yes, it is precision-engineered for a secure fit. With an Inner Diameter (ID) of 1/8 inch and an Outer Diameter (OD) of 3/8 inch, it is specifically designed to work seamlessly with 1/8” barbed fittings.

This tubing is sold by the foot. When placing your order, please specify the total length required for your maintenance or repair project. Note that the purchase includes the tubing length only; the dispenser reel is not included.

Yes, this is a factory-new RPI replacement component (Part #RPT462). It is designed to match or exceed the specifications of OEM part 9448598, ensuring you maintain the reliable performance of your equipment, such as the Midmark-Ritter M11.

The reinforced braid acts as a structural skeleton within the silicone. This unique feature provides:

• Enhanced burst resistance under pressure.
• Better kink resistance compared to unreinforced silicone.
• Improved overall longevity in high-cycle sterilization environments.

Yes, due to its robust Silbrade silicone composition, this tubing is versatile enough to maintain reliable seals for both fluid and gas lines within compatible autoclaves and sterilizers.

While the reinforced braid adds necessary durability and pressure resistance, the tubing retains the inherent flexibility of silicone. This allows for easier routing through the internal components of your sterilizer while still maintaining its shape under pressure.

The RPI RPT462 is specifically manufactured for compatibility with equipment like the Midmark-Ritter M11. You should check your service manual to confirm that your specific lines require 1/8” ID x 3/8” OD reinforced tubing to ensure a perfect, leak-free connection.

Yes, the translucent finish is highly practical for equipment maintenance. It allows technicians to visually inspect for blockages or debris inside the line without needing to disconnect the tubing, which can save significant time during routine check-ups.
