Description
VH.SI.8 is a silicone vacuum tubing with an outer diameter of 8 mm, supplied in a 1 m length for laboratory vacuum connections. Manufactured from silicone, this tubing is intended for vacuum applications where flexible, chemically suitable hose material is required between apparatus and vacuum sources. The compact 1 m format supports straightforward installation and replacement in bench-scale setups. Offered by manufacturer IKA as a single piece, VH.SI.8 provides a dedicated silicone vacuum line option within laboratory tubing ranges. Net weight is 0,174 kg and gross weight 0,200 kg, reflecting a practical hose segment for routine laboratory use. The product is non-sterile and belongs to the silicone tubing category used alongside other polymer hose types in laboratory material assortments. With its defined Ø 8 mm silicone construction and 1 m length, VH.SI.8 serves as a clear, specification-driven vacuum tubing choice for connecting reactors, pumps and related laboratory equipment where silicone vacuum hose is specified.

Questions about VH.SI.8, Vacuum hose, silicon, Ø8 mm, 1 m
What is this article?
VH.SI.8, Vacuum hose, silicon, Ø8 mm, 1 m is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Silicone tubing, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
Silicone tubing stays flexible across a wide temperature range and survives repeated autoclaving, which is why peristaltic pumps and media lines use it. It is not the choice for strong solvents, which migrate into the wall.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
