Inside Diameter: 3/32"
Length: 10 Feet
Material: Tygon

Item Number: 255
What This Tygon Hose is Used For
Item 255 is intended for small-diameter fluid-line applications requiring 3/32" Tygon tubing. Pro Marine lists this hose primarily for PWC small oil-injection line applications.

Installation and Service Tips
Correct crimping and heat-shrink installation help provide a dependable electrical termination in marine environments.
Recommended Installation Practices
- Disconnect electrical power before beginning wiring repairs.
- Confirm the wire size is within the 1822 AWG range.
- Verify that the female mating terminal accepts a 0.250-inch male blade.
- Strip the wire insulation to the appropriate length for the crimp barrel.
- Insert the prepared wire fully into the terminal barrel.
- Use a suitable crimping tool designed for insulated heat-shrink terminals.
- Crimp the connector securely and inspect the mechanical connection.
- Use a controlled heat gun to shrink the insulation around the wire.
- Heat evenly until the sleeve conforms to the wire insulation and forms its seal.
- Allow the connector to cool before applying mechanical stress.
