Pipe & Conduit Sleeving Poly Tubing 9" -- 4 mil LDPE | 1,500 ft/Roll

9-inch lay-flat poly tubing in 4 mil LDPE, wound on a 3" core and supplied in 1,500-foot rolls. When expanded, the tubing opens to approximately 5.75 inches in diameter, accommodating standard pipe, conduit, rod stock, and cylindrical industrial components in the 3–5-inch diameter range. The 4 mil gauge provides the puncture resistance and surface protection required for metal and rigid plastic profiles.

Specs: 9" Lay-Flat (≈5.75" Expanded Diameter) | 4 mil | LDPE | 1,500 ft/Roll | FDA/USDA Compliant

Applications:

• PVC, copper, and steel pipe individual sleeving for distribution
• Electrical conduit and rigid metal tube protective packaging
• Lumber dowel and wooden rod sleeving for retail or wholesale
• Automotive hose and tubing assembly packaging
• Plumbing supply and HVAC component individual packaging

Features:

• 4 mil LDPE — heavy-gauge film for pipe, conduit, and rigid profile sleeving
• 9" lay-flat width expands to approximately 5.75" diameter
• Cut-to-length format — size bags to exact piece lengths for zero waste
• Heat sealable, tieable, stapleable, or tapeable closure at each cut end
• Wound on a 3" core with 1" core plug for standard dispenser compatibility
• 1,500 feet per roll reduces changeover frequency on high-volume sleeving lines

Material Notes:

Made from 100% virgin LDPE resin meeting FDA/USDA specifications. At 4 mil, the tubing provides adequate surface protection against moisture, dust, and transit abrasion for rigid metal and plastic profiles. LDPE flexibility allows the tubing to conform to slight variations in pipe or conduit diameter without tearing during loading.

Use Case Notes:

Cut-to-length poly tubing is the standard format for pipe and rod sleeving in plumbing supply and hardware distribution operations. Lengths are cut to match the pipe section, end-sealed, and labeled. The 4 mil gauge is appropriate when pipe surfaces are rough, threaded, or have fitting protrusions that would compromise 1.5–2 mil tubing. The 1,500-foot roll length reduces roll change frequency on continuous sleeving stations processing high volumes of pipe stock.

Common Questions:

Q: What diameter pipe will fit inside 9-inch lay-flat tubing?
A: When expanded, 9-inch lay-flat tubing opens to approximately 5.75 inches in diameter. Standard nominal pipe sizes through 4-inch schedule 40 and most conduit profiles up to 4 inches will fit within this tubing.

Q: Can this tubing be used on an automated sleeving machine?
A: Yes. The 3" core and standard roll format are compatible with most commercial poly tubing dispensers and inline sleeving machines. Confirm mandrel and core compatibility with your equipment supplier.

Q: Is this tubing suitable for food-contact applications?
A: Yes. The virgin LDPE resin is FDA/USDA compliant, making this tubing appropriate for produce bundling or food-contact sleeving applications where a 4 mil gauge is appropriate.

Why Buy:

1,500 feet per roll reduces downtime from roll changes on high-volume pipe and rod sleeving lines. The 4 mil gauge ensures reliable performance for threaded, rough, or protruding pipe profiles that would tear standard 1.5–2 mil tubing.
