Kink-resistant PVC tubing reinforced with steel wire is stronger than polyester braid to prevent tubing from kinking and collapsing with use. Food-safe PVC tubing flexes to twist, bend, and change direction between processing equipment. The electrogalvanized helical steel wire can be used for static dissipation. (Caution: This product is designed to dissipate static electricity when the metal wire is properly connected to ground, through the fitting or other means.)
