In teaching and routine laboratories, rubber tubing carries water or air between fixed fittings and apparatus: linking a condenser to the water tap and drain, joining a water filter pump to a filter flask, or running a delivery line from a gas-generation flask to a collecting vessel. The 4.5 mm wall resists kinking where a line bends around the bench, and a roll kept in the preparation room covers most connections a school lab setup in India needs during practical sessions.
Cut lengths square with a sharp blade, and ease the tube onto glass nozzles wetted with a little water rather than forcing it, so the glass does not snap. Fit a screw clip where flow must be regulated or shut off. For gas taps and Bunsen burners, use tubing intended for gas connections, such as our burner tubing listed below.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades under the ScienceLab name and supplies this red rubber tubing from Ambala, Haryana, alongside the glassware and apparatus it connects. Laboratories can add rolls to a wider equipment order so that tubing, clips and flasks arrive together. Company background is on our ScienceLab company profile.

What size is this rubber tubing?
The ScienceLab Rubber Tubing (SLE/LI/37) has an 8 mm bore and a 4.5 mm wall thickness. It is made of red rubber and described as heavy-duty, high-pressure tubing, so it suits firm connections on glass nozzles and taps of matching size.
How much tubing is in one order unit?
Rubber Tubing SLE/LI/37 is supplied in a 10 m roll. Laboratories cut it into short lengths for condensers, filter pumps and delivery tubes, so order several rolls when equipping more than one lab or stocking a central store.
Can this rubber tubing be used for vacuum filtration?
Heavy-walled Rubber Tubing such as SLE/LI/37 is often used between a water filter pump and a filter flask, but its listing gives no vacuum rating. For dedicated vacuum lines, compare our Vacuum Tubing, or ask us which tubing suits your pump.
Is this tubing suitable for gas burners?
For Bunsen burners and gas taps, choose tubing supplied for gas connections, such as our Bunsen Burner Tubing. The red Rubber Tubing SLE/LI/37 is intended for general laboratory connections; tell us your application and we will confirm the right tubing.
How should rubber tubing be stored and looked after?
Store Rubber Tubing away from direct sunlight, heat, oils and solvents, all of which age rubber. Before each practical, flex the ends and replace any length that is cracked, hardened or sticky, cutting a fresh square end instead of reusing a split one.
