Overview
The Parker PE-4-040-GN-0500 is an instrument-grade polyethylene tubing from Parker’s Parflex division, designed for low-pressure pneumatic and fluid transfer applications. Made from 100% virgin Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), this tubing offers consistent performance in industrial and water-treatment systems. The natural (GN) color designation provides a cost-effective solution for applications where color coding is not required.
