Description

3/8″ John Guest LLDPE tube (Price quoted per metre)

Approved for use with potable (drinking) water. This tube is rated to 150 psi (6 bar) at 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 Celsius) That’s 30 psi (5 bar) higher than the 12 mm John Guest tube that is sold in boat and caravan supplies stores. This tube curves to a fairly tight radius especially when gently heated with a heat gun or hair dryer. It can be more easily routed than its 12 mm version. It is suitable for the Heliatos Solar Water Heating Panel when it is no more than 5 meters from the panel to the hot water tank. That’s a total return length of 10 metres. 12 metres being the maximum

If you would like buy the 3/8″ John Guest tube and fittings or the RV Plumbing Kit from SolaExchange here is some important information you need to consider first.

3/8″ John Guest tube and fittings are not “watermarked” like the 12mm John Guest system. The tube and fittings in both systems are made from the same materials.
