Conductive Tubing Tips:

Did you know:

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 2 mm solid cord or 4 mm x 2 mm tubing will fit snugly into the 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, you can visit your local hardware or home improvement store and purchase brass barbed (ridged) connectors and T's to create a multitude of different conductive rubber electrodes. The possibilities are left only to your imagination.  You can purchase any of the conductive rubber tubing products in our estore under 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 sheds off of our conductive 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 as it loosens 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 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 conductive sheeting and our flat 3/4" wide conductive rubber.  Proper care will make your purchase last for years.
