Conductive Tubing Tips:
Helpful Hints:
A TENS pin will fit snugly into our 4 mm x 2 mm conductive tubing or our 6 mm x 2 mm tubing without the need for any
type of adaptor. Simply Plug & Play !!!
A
Standard Banana Pin will fit snugly into our 6 mm x 4 mm or 8 mm x 4 mm conductive tubing without the need for any other type of
adaptor. Again, Plug & Play.
Our 4mm solid cord or 4x2 mm tubing will fit snugly into 6 mm x 4 mm or
8 mm x 4 mm tubing. This allows you to connect two pieces of 6 mm or 8 mm tubing, in-line or in a circle.
All sorts of connections are possible connecting our conductive
tubing. If you a DIY person, be sure to visit our DIY section of our on-line store for a variety of adapters,
fittings and connectors. The configuration possibilities are left only to your imagination. You can purchase any
of the conductive rubber tubing products in our estore under the Conductive Rubber section.
How to Preserve and Care for Conductive Tubing:
Conductive tubing is made by mixing an exact amount
of carbon powder and silicone rubber together into a hot sticky mass and then extruding it into proper sizes and
lengths. While this rubber is soft and stretchy, it does have its limits.
After use, warm or hot soapy water is all that is necessary to
clean it up. A good disinfectant soap and a good rinsing will do just fine. Water almost completely sheds
off of our conductive rubber products and you only need to pat or lightly pull it through a dry cloth
or towel to remove any water. Do not stretch the tubing as you pull it through to dry it. Over
time, this will diminish the tubing properties, as it loosens and separates the carbon particles that were mixed into the
silicone. It is not necessary to soak, boil or leave it sit in bleach water. Doing so will result in
poor current resistance and again, breaks down the carbon particles that were mixed into the silicone to create
its conductivity. If you find that any of the conductive rubber tends to stick to itself, simply apply a very light
coating of any talcum powder or corn starch on it. This also adds life to the product. However, before use, you
should rinse the power off ,as it may act as an insulator and cause less than desired current flow.
The same care as described above should also be taken with any
of our conductive rubber products, including urethral inserts, conductive sheeting and our flat 3/4" wide conductive
rubber. Proper care will make your purchase last for years.
