PTFE AWG Tubing for electrical insulation applicationsis most often used in electrical insulation applications. A PTFE tube has a non-stick surface that eliminates media buildup. In electrical applications, AWG tubing is placed over wire/cable as a protective cover that prevents electrical discharge and heat dissipation.  PTFE AWG Tubing is sometimes referred to as “Spaghetti Tubing” or “American Wire Gauge Tubing”. It is supplied in natural and available as a custom run in ten different colors. Tubing is available in Standard Wall, Light Wall, Thin Wall and Heavy Wall designs and is the best chemical resistant tubing Parker offers.
