Dekabon Synflex 1300: Why the original product matters in instrumentation systems

When specifying tubing for pneumatic instrumentation and control lines, the question is not only whether the tube can do the job. The real question is whether it will do the job reliably, consistently, and with full specification confidence over time. There will always be copy or grey products in the market, the question is what the benefits of are of using these no name brands:

• Is it price?
• Is it genuinely equivalent in performance?
• Does it come with technical published temperature / pressure ratings?
• Can you trace the product back to the original manufacturer’s published data sheet?
• Does the product come from the same manufacturer every time it is supplied into the market?

If the answer is no to all the above questions, the case for the original manufactured product goes beyond confidence, reliability and convenience.

Why specify the original:

Because original Dekabon Synflex 1300 comes with published features of construction, defined tolerances, pressure data, certification, and tube marking for traceability back to raw material.

Why engineers use it:

Dekabon delivers a unique combination of:

• Metal-like shape retention, easily bent by hand or with a standard tube bender
• Lightweight flexibility for ease of installation for long distances between control points
• Strong moisture and corrosion resistance
• Higher pressures than normal plastic type tubing
• Use with both compression type tube fittings and push to connect fittings (Push-In fittings).

Making it practical to install and reliable in operation for long-term installations.

Why plants benefit:

Because longer continuous coil lengths mean:

• Fewer joins, reduced amount of fittings required = reduced cost
• Faster installation = increased productivity
• Reduced potential leak paths – leak free system installations.

Where it fits best:

• Pneumatic instrument and control lines
• Air and gas sampling and distribution lines
• Control lines in very wet and moist environments
• Corrosive environments
• High UV exposure areas
• Installations requiring neat, self-supporting routed lines
• Underground runs alongside instrument cabling
• Borescopes and Endoscopes
• Marine sampling / Instrument installations

In critical instrumentation systems, consistency matters

With original Synflex 1300:

• Pressure ratings, tolerances and application data are published and verifiable
• Tube marking and certification support full traceability
• What is installed on site is exactly what was specified

That level of consistency gives engineers, buyers, and maintenance teams confidence – not just at installation, but throughout the life of the system.

The Fluidline position.

Fluidline is the only importer and stockest of original Dekabon Synflex 1300 tubing in Sub-Saharan Africa, supplying it as part of a complete, high-integrity instrumentation system offering.

We also supply:

• Stainless steel push-in fittings compatible with Dekabon tubing
• Twin ferrule compression fittings
• Supporting instrumentation components

And importantly — original does not mean overpriced.

We offer competitive pricing against grey products in the market, without compromising on quality or traceability.

When the installation needs to be durable, traceable, and fit for purpose, choosing the original isn’t just a purchasing decision.
It’s a specification decision.
