​

• Overview:

   

  • Welcome to Latex-Tubing.com. The latex tubing we offer is made by the largest manufacturer of dipped natural rubber latex tubing in the world, Kent Elastomer Products, Inc. Kent is the only manufacturer of natural latex rubber tubing still in the United States with three manufacturing facilities in the state of Ohio.We have been selling latex rubber tubing on the web for 10 years now. One thing we have learned is that people refer to the latex rubber tubing they need in different ways. Some will say "I need surgical tubing with an inside diameter of 1/8 inch". Others will say "I need a thin wall latex tubing". Still others will say they need a rubber tubing with an outside diameter of 1/2 inch. One of the pitfalls of the internet is that it is very difficult to have an interactive conversation with someone. So, we have to anticipate the needs of everyone and present a website where anyone can find what they're looking for. That was the thinking behind our design: to answer everyone's questions about the latex rubber tubing they need. We present our latex tubing (surgical tubing, rubber tubing ...) by each of the 3 sizes that define a piece of tubing: Inside Diameter, Wall Thickness and Outside Diameter.
    
    In addition, we present our tubing ordered by the way we offer our products. Below is a brief overview of the major navigation tabs and the types of web pages you will find in each section.

  ​

• Inside Diameter:

   

  • By itself, Inside Diameter is not enough information to define the dimensions of latex tubing. If you look under the Inside Diameter tab you will see a list of tubing we sell with a certain Inside Diameter. You will notice in all but one case we offer many sizes of tubing for one Inside Diameter. In the case of 1/8" I.D., we offer tubing for 5 different wall thicknesses. The way we distinguish one size from another is with the I.D. plus the wall thickness. When you drill down to the pages you will see the size represented by the I.D. x Wall (example: 1/16 x 1/32)

   

• Outside Diameter:

   

  • As with Inside Diameter, we offer tubing in many different Outside Diameters and like I.D., there are many different sized tubing that share the same Outside Diameter. As an example, we have 3 different sizes of tubing all which have an O.D. of 5/8". How we distinguish one size tubing from another within O.D. is by displaying the I.D. x Wall just as we did with I.D.

   

• Wall Thickness:

   

  • The number of Wall Thicknesses we offer isn't as large as the number for I.D. or O.D. However, each size has more choices. In the case of a 1/16" wall, we currently have 7 different sizes. Here we show the different sizes of each Wall Thickness by showing the I.D. x Wall .

   

• Product Information:

   

  • Under our Product Information tab, we attempt to provide more information about the tubing we sell. We show you how to measure a piece of tubing by Inside Diameter, Wall Thickness and Outside Diameter. There is also a page dedicated to the technical specifications of our latex tubing. We also have a Sizing Chart which shows each size we offer versus the size of a dime. Additionally, we have a page dedicated to the Uses of Latex Tubing as well as a page dedicated to how to distinguish exercise tubing.
