1 / 6LAVMHAB Silicone Tube, 6mm ID x 9mm OD, 3m
Tube: LAVMHAB silicone tubing is listed as a clear 3-metre hose with a 6mm internal diameter and 9mm external diameter. Its flexible silicone construction is suited to low-pressure liquid or air transfer, but the listing gives conflicting pressure details that matter when choosing it for a pressurised setup.
At a glance
- Clear tubing lets you see the contents and is described as flexible and cut-to-fit.
- Listing describes use for low-pressure liquid and air transfer, including water, oil and aquarium air.
- Manufacturer claims the silicone is food grade, non-toxic and BPA free. These are listing claims, not independent verification.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 3 metres of clear tubing can be cut to suit a routing or connection.
- The listed 6mm internal and 9mm external diameters make sizing straightforward when matching compatible fittings.
- Flexible silicone is presented for both liquid and air transfer in general low-pressure applications.
Cons
- Not presented for continuous steam use, and the listing warns that prolonged high temperature or pressure can make the tube relax and become gummy.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listed dimensions field says 6W millimetres, while the title and feature details specify 6mm ID x 9mm OD. Pressure details are also inconsistent: one field states 40 Bars, while the specification lists 0.1Mpa-0.45Mpa (at room temperature). Confirm the selected size and applicable pressure rating for the intended setup rather than treating these figures as interchangeable. The listing also cautions against continuous steam, warns that long exposure to high temperature or pressure can make the tubing gummy, and recommends suitable fittings and clamps because sharp barbs or unlined metal clamps may cut it.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers needing clear, flexible tubing for a low-pressure water, oil or air connection.
- Projects where a 6mm internal diameter and 9mm outside diameter suit the fittings and the 3-metre length can be trimmed.
Less suited to
- Continuous steam applications or setups that need a clearly established high-pressure rating.
- Buyers who need verified food-contact certification rather than a food-grade claim in the listing.

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller spread of lower ratings means the figures alone do not explain how the tubing performed. They are not a substitute for checking its fit and the conflicting pressure claims against your particular low-pressure transfer task.
Frequently asked questions
What size is this tube?
The title and feature details give a 6mm internal diameter and 9mm outside diameter, with a 1.5mm wall thickness. The general dimensions field is inconsistent, so check that the selected listing matches your fitting.
How long is the tube?
The listed item length is 3 Metres. The product description says it can be cut to the required length.
Can it be used for air and liquids?
The listing describes low-pressure uses including air, water, oil and other liquids. Match the tubing to your application and fittings, especially where pressure is involved.
What pressure can it handle?
The listing gives conflicting figures: 40 Bars in one field and 0.1Mpa-0.45Mpa (at room temperature) in the specifications. These are not reconciled, so confirm the applicable rating before use.
Is it suitable for continuous steam?
No. The listing specifically says it should not be used in continuous steam applications.
