Grow1 Black Vinyl Tubing - 3/16-in ID x 1/4-in OD - 1000 ft Roll

Opaque Tubing for Air and Water Lines - 1000 ft

Clear lines in a hydroponic system let light in, and light encourages algae inside the tubing. This vinyl tubing is opaque black, so it blocks light along the run. It has a 3/16 in inner diameter and a 1/4 in outer diameter, and it carries air or water.

This 1000 ft length suits growers who plumb many lines, such as commercial rooms, multi-reservoir setups, or anyone who cuts many short runs from one supply. Hobbyists with a single small system will likely use only a fraction of it.

• Opaque black vinyl — blocks light to help discourage algae growth in the line.

Who Should Use Grow1 Black Vinyl Tubing

Use it if you build or maintain hydroponic systems and need a lot of air or water line. It suits commercial growers and serious home growers who want one supply for many runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is this tubing used for?
A: It carries air or water in hydroponic systems. Typical uses include feeding air stones and running lines to drippers.

Q: Why choose black over clear tubing?
A: Black tubing blocks light, which helps discourage algae growth inside the line. Clear tubing lets you see the flow and spot clogs, but it admits light.

Q: What does ID mean?
A: ID is the inner diameter, the width of the hollow channel that carries the air or water. Here it is 3/16 in, and the outer diameter is 1/4 in.

Q: Will it work with basket drippers and air stones?
A: Accessories like these are designed around a 3/16 in inner diameter, which is the size of this tubing. Check your accessory's barb size before you buy.

Q: How do I cut it?
A: Use a sharp blade or tubing cutter and make a clean, square cut. A clean end seats better on fittings.
