FEP Flanged Tubing Assembly
FOREACH FEP flanged tubing assemblies combine transparent FEP tubing, matching threaded fittings and support washers. Single- and double-flanged configurations connect reagent, cleaning-fluid and internal fluid paths in in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) and automated analytical instruments. Available tubing IDs span 0.3–2.0 mm, with ODs of 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.2 mm. Select ID and OD as specified pairs. Equipment development, assembly to drawing and batch production are supported.
The flanged tube end and matching washer form a face seal at a flat-bottom port. PPS, PVDF and PEEK fittings are available in standard and compact structures, with M6×1 or 1/4-28 UNF threads. Specify finished length, single- or double-flanged ends and each A/B fitting material, thread and connection type in the assembly drawing. Stop tubes and identification can be added for the installation space and routing. Confirm working pressure and temperature for the specific dimensions, ports and complete assembly.
FOREACH holds ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management system certifications.
Typical Applications:
Reagent line connections, Cleaning-fluid line connections, Internal instrument fluid connections, Custom fluid-path assembly

These are available tubing sizes. Confirm flange dimensions and mating ports against the assembly drawing.
Match fitting material, structure and thread to the corresponding model.
Miniature option: 6-40 UNF, PEEK fitting, 1.6 mm tube OD. Confirm the complete end configuration against the selected model.
Working pressure and temperature must be confirmed for the specific assembly configuration.
FEP Flanged Tubing Applications & Customization
Equipment development, assembly to drawing, sample development and batch production are supported.
Instrument fluid-path integration
Assemblies for in-vitro diagnostic and automated analytical instruments are selected against the actual reagent, cleaning fluid and connection requirements.
FEP tubing and custom length
Transparent FEP tubing can connect reagent, cleaning-fluid and sample-related fluid paths in instruments. Where liquid or bubble visibility is needed, assess visibility using the actual tube wall and sample.
Assembly drawings and dimensions
Provide tube ID/OD, finished length and tolerance, length measurement datum, A/B port drawings, fitting materials, threads and installation space. Show stop and label positions and dimensions on the assembly drawing.
Fluids, pressure and temperature
Specify the working fluid, concentration, cleaning fluid, contact time, pressure, temperature and inspection requirements to confirm wetted materials and the complete assembly.
Installation and mating ports
Check the flange face, washer orientation and port sealing face. Even when threads match, verify port depth and flange dimensions.
Quality documents and delivery
FOREACH holds ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management system certifications. Applicable REACH and RoHS reports and material safety data sheets (MSDS) can be supplied for relevant connection components according to material and model. Dimensional inspection, seal testing, identification and packaging requirements for samples and batches are agreed for each project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Transparent FEP tubing allows visual observation of liquid and bubbles. Visibility depends on the tube wall, ID and liquid colour; check a sample with the actual liquid.
