Tygon® LP-1200
Clear, High-Performance Fuel
Tubing for Small Engines
Designed to Meet Clean Air Regulatory Standards andMaintain Flexibility in Frigid Temperatures
Tygon® LP-1200 Low Permeation Fuel Tubing is specially designed to meet new
EPA and CARB evaporative emission standards of 15g/m2/day. The patent-pending
design and robust multi-layer construction offers superior fitting retention andresistance to swelling, hardening and cracking caused by hydrocarbon-based fluids.
LP-1200 is also designed to retain flexibility in frigid temperatures. Its formulation
helps to prevent rupture while mantaining tube flexibility, lowering the risk of fuelsystem failure in cold weather conditions.
Available in both standard and custom sizes and colors, Tygon® LP-1200 tubing isideal for lawn and garden power equipment, small engine fuel lines, and lubricating
oil and grease transfer lines. It meets ANSI B175.1 Annex D standard.

Available SizesTygon® LP-1200 tubing is available in five standard stock sizes:• 2/25” (2.032 mm) ID x 7/50” (3.556 mm) OD• 3/32” (2.381 mm) ID x 3/16” (4.762 mm) OD• 1/8” (3.175 mm) ID x 1/4” (6.350 mm) OD• 3/16” (4.762 mm) ID x 5/16” (7.937 mm) OD• 1/4” (6.350 mm) ID x 3/8” (9.525 mm) OD

The values listed for working and burst pressures are derived from tests conductedunder controlled laboratory conditions. Many factors will reduce the tubing’s ability
to withstand pressures, including temperature, chemical attack, stress, pulsation andthe attachment to fittings. It is imperative that the user conduct tests simulating theconditions of the application prior to specifying the tubing for use.

Unless otherwise noted, all tests were conducted at room
temperature 73°F (23°C). Values shown were determined on
0.075" (1.905 mm) thick extruded strip, 0.075" (1.905 mm) thickmolded ASTM plaques or molded ASTM durometer buttons.
