Polyamide tubing from Parker Legris – fire-safe air and lubrication tubing for demanding low-pressure applications

Parker Legris polyamide tubing is flame- and UV-resistant tubing for compressed air and lubricants, approved to EN 45545 and UL 94 V-0. Available in Ø 4–12 mm and 5 colours, it operates from vacuum up to 50 bar and from -40°C to +100°C, making it particularly suitable for rail and other demanding industries.

Why choose Parker Legris polyamide tubing?

Fire safety: Meets EN 45545 (rail), UL 94 V-0 (flame retardant) and UV resistance to ISO 4892.
Operational reliability: Working pressure from vacuum up to 50 bar and a wide temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.
Robustness and service life: Resistant to flames, sparks and UV, while remaining lightweight and highly flexible.
Clear identification: 5 colours for easy marking of media/circuits.
Economical alternative: Rigid/semi-rigid polyamide delivers high performance at a competitive price.

Typical applications

Rail: Pneumatic systems, braking systems, lubrication systems, door actuators.
Industry and automation: Assembly and production lines, robot pneumatics, central lubrication units.
Off-highway and vehicles: Compressed air and lubrication systems in harsh environments.
General low-pressure applications: Wherever high fire safety and UV resistance are required.

Specifications and range

Material: Polyamide (PA), rigid and semi-rigid.
Outside diameters (O.D.): 4–12 mm.
Colours: 5 standard colours.
Working pressure: From vacuum up to 50 bar (depending on dimension/temperature).
Temperature range: -40°C to +100°C.
Media: Compressed air and lubricants.

Compatibility and fittings

Fully compatible with Parker Legris push-in fittings and pneumatic components for low-pressure applications.
Recommendation: Match tube dimension and medium with the correct fitting material (e.g. brass/nickel-plated or stainless steel for more demanding environments) and suitable sealing materials.

Polyamide vs. alternatives

Polyamide (PA): High strength, good temperature range, fire safety (UL 94 V-0), UV resistance. Well suited to rail/industry.
Polyurethane (PU): Very flexible, but often lower temperature/pressure ratings and not the same fire safety classification.
Metal tubing: Very robust, but heavier, more expensive and less flexible; used where high pressure or mechanical protection is critical.
