Description

Low friction 1.07 mm ID PTFE tube suitable for pushrod outers on discus launched glider and other small models. Also suitable for a large range of engineering and industrial uses.

This tubing is specially etched on the outside, making it easily bondable using many adhesives, thin CA being probably the best. Provides the lightest, easiest, most friction-free pushrod installations possible.

Can be stretched to 2 times the original length to reduce the weight per meter, and tune the inside diameter to be a perfect fit for the inner pushrod. Sold by the meter. Enter a quantity of 3 for a 3m roll.

A great source for PFTE bondable tubing

I'm on the other side of the pond, and I can't find PFTE here, No worries though, Hyperflight has it in a selection of ID's and any length. Like many items from Hyperflight, Shipping is very reasonable, and it gets here as quickly.

I will be using the 1.07 mm with ,8mm piano wire or CG rod on my next build.

great stuff

used this tube for DLG pull spring cable exit points through the boom, works great, very low friction


 Review by:

Just what I needed. You can even stretch it down to fit perfectly, making it go farther too

Product as advertised with quick shipping

Product as advertised with surprisingly quick shipping from the UK to the US.

I am using this with .030" carbon pushrods. There is some gap between the PTFE tube and the pushrod, so I might consider stretching the tubing for a tighter fit, although the pushrod system feels pretty solid even with the gap, so I might just use it as is.

Wowee! Now I can get 'work done'

Dimensioning is spot on, and it is very easy to stretch if needed. CA bonding is very easy.

This etched teflon tubing isn't available too many places. A good price even with shipping to the US.

Quick international shipping, exactly what I needed to complete a project


 Review by:

Super nice lightweight stuff!

Very nice to build lightweight an low friction sleeves and rods !
Glues very wel to carbon fuses.


 Review by:

Perfect!

These were great and fit the recommended carbon rod perfectly. I used piano wire and magnets to secure them inside my tail boom and dropped thin CA down to secure them. Worked great!


 Review by:

Easy

Easy to install inside fuselages. Do not recommend stretching it too much since it may affect internal clearance. Best used with 0.8 carbon rod.


 Review by:

For lightweight and reliable control systems

If you want lightweight and reliable control you need this along with SS wire or a thin carbon rod. For DLG, you can use it with thinner wire like 24, 25 or 26SWG but you have to stretch the tube for a tighter fit.


 Review by:

Amazing discovery

I only recently discovered this product. I've used it now on three homebuilds. Two 2.3m and one 1.5m gliders.
It is so easy to route through the fuselage/pod and lay along the boom and then just tack in place with super glue. I use a 22 SWG s/s wire pushrod. Works very smoothly and slop free, even with some curves in the run.
I didn't stretch the tube as it didn't seem necessary.

PTFE Tubing

Ideal material and thanks for prompt, next day, delivery


 Review by:

Excellent

Used this on my Sapphire ( Q12 ) to replace the original split supports push rod system.
Works brilliantly as it glues easily with thin Cyano and it also reduces the chance of grit getting in the push rod supports.

ptfe and wire snakes

Very helpful advice from Neil and a 24 hr delivery. Thanks so much.Derrick.


 Review by:

Super smooth and free (with stainless steel wire) glues very well and securely.
Easy to stretch to make thinner for using finer wire inner too.
Excellent product 5/5


 Review by:

I used this on a 1500mm dlg, fed up with the supplied control cable, I used this with 20swg wire to give a positive control movement. You need to file the end of the wire to pass it through or it will snag.


 Review by:

Best pushrod housing. Light, low friction and easy to install.


 Review by:

Pushrod outer

I have made pushrods for a 4m electric glider using this tubing for the outer and some Hyperflight 1mm carbon rod as the inner.Together, these produce a lightweight, slop free,low friction unit at lengths just over a metre.The tubing glues very easily to a Hyperflight carbon tailboom using thin cyano.


 Review by:

Pushrod outer

Remember to the order the length you need.
Stretch to size works well but you will need to cut off about an inch at each end that will be ruined by the pliers or two bits of wood in a clamp.
Worked well with 025 piano wire


 Review by:

pushrod outer

I decided to alter the spring loaded elevator actuation on my 2 metre E-soarer. The kevlar thread pulling against the spring all the time was not to my liking.
The PTFE tube was brilliant. Dead easy to install and the smallest dab of cyano kept it in place and is hardly noticed on the outside of the carbon fuselage.
The elevator is now solid with a 0.8 carbon rod inside the PTFE. Magic.....
