Review PA6 as its own candidate
Interchangeability with PA12 or PU is checked against the model data. Compare the exact model and confirm the complete connection under the intended operating conditions.
Pressure and temperature conditions
Pressure and temperature ratings are listed separately; send your operating point for a combined-condition check. Working pressure is the design rating; burst pressure is a test value. Confirm the model-specific limits, test conditions and complete fitting assembly before use.
Related selection information
Nylon 6 tubing: confirm the material designation
Specify PA6 or nylon 6 together with the model, ID and OD. Nylon 6/6 and nylon 66 are different designations and are not alternative names for this PA6 range. Use the polyurethane vs nylon tubing checklist to organize a model-specific comparison.
TECHNICAL DATA

QUESTIONS
Product FAQ
Which PA6 nylon tubing sizes should I match when replacing a nylon 6 tube?
Match the material designation, tube ID and OD, units, tolerance and fitting interface against the selected model. Include the routing and operating conditions. PA6 and PA12 are separate families; service performance is checked per model.
Can PA6 and PA12 tubing be substituted directly?
Treat them as distinct product families. Compare the selected models and confirm dimensional, installation and operating requirements before approving a substitution.
What installation information helps a PA6 review?
Share the route, connection points, available bend space, movement and service conditions, together with the required dimensions and any drawing.
What are the specifications of PA6 nylon tubing?
The 14 listed models cover metric sizes from 2.5 x 4 mm to 12 x 16 mm and inch sizes from 1/8" to 1/2", supplied in 100 m or 200 m rolls with a tolerance of ±0.10 mm. Working pressure at 23°C runs from 10 to 41 bar (145 to 592 psi) depending on the model, and the supplied data sheet gives a pneumatic operating range of -40°C to +130°C. Check the exact model in the specifications table.
Is PA6 the same as nylon 6/6 (PA66)?
No. PA6 is polyamide 6, while nylon 6/6 is polyamide 66, a different polymer. Keep the two designations separate when you compare dimensions, pressure ratings and fittings, and confirm the exact material on the model data before ordering.
What colors does PA6 nylon tubing come in?
The standard colors in the supplied data sheet are milky white, dark blue, black and red, and custom colors are available. Brand logos, model identification and continuous meter markings can be customized. Confirm color, marking and order quantity when you request a quote.
