Tygon® LP-1500

Flexible Fuel Tubing

Tygon® LP-1500 tubing from Saint-Gobain is environmentally-friendly and ideal for fuel lines in small engine lawn mowers, snow blowers, chain saws, line trimmers, leaf blowers and more. It is specially designed to meet regulatory standards for ozone and carbon monoxide emissions. Its robust, multi-layer design features barriers to minimize permeation, with a chemical and fuel resistant inner layer and a UV-resistant outer jacket to prevent premature aging. This tubing’s superior clarity makes it easy to view and monitor the fuels flowing through it.

Features & Benefits

  • Chemical and fuel resistant inner layer
