O2B2 Linear Diffuser Tubing

Designed for linear diffusers: Optimized for feeding air evenly to linear diffuser runs in pond and lake aeration applications. Efficient air delivery: Smooth internal airflow path helps reduce unnecessary restriction for consistent performance. Flexible but durable: Built to route cleanly through cabinets, trenches, and shoreline transitions without fighting the install. Kink- and crush-resistant: Holds shape and protects airflow where standard hose can pinch, flatten, or collapse. Tough outer jacket: Stands up to wet environments, soil contact, and everyday handling during service and seasonal changes. Secure connections: Compatible with common aeration fittings/clamps so you can create leak-resistant joints (especially at manifolds and diffuser drops). Clean, organized plumbing: Helps keep your diffuser layout tidy for easier troubleshooting, future expansions, and maintenance. Reliable for long runs: Ideal for longer airline distances where durability and consistent airflow matter. Built for real-world aeration installs: A dependable choice for contractors and property owners who want fewer headaches over time. Product type: Fine-bubble air diffusion/aeration tubing Construction: Dual, self-ballasting extruded tubing Material: Thermoplastic elastomer compound Diffusion design: Primary tube features a multitude of tiny diffusion holes arranged in a specific pattern to emit and control airflow Bubble size range: Produces fine bubbles approximately 1/100″ to 1/16″ when pressurized Inside diameter (ID): 1/2” Standard roll length: 100 ft Custom lengths: Available on request (contact us) Ballast/stability: Self-ballasting design helps the tubing stay positioned during operation Application: Designed for diffused aeration applications requiring controlled fine-bubble output Plan your run: Measure compressor-to-waterline distance, then waterline-to-diffuser distance. Add slack for routing and service loops. Cut cleanly: Use a sharp tubing cutter/utility knife for a square cut (reduces leak risk). Fit before clamping: Push tubing fully onto the fitting/barb before installing clamps. Clamp properly: Use stainless gear clamps (or the fitting type you supply) and tighten snug—do not overtighten and deform the tubing. Protect transitions: At cabinet exits and shoreline edges, use grommets/conduit or abrasion protection where rubbing could occur. Route for airflow: Avoid sharp bends and pinches. Keep bends gentle to prevent restriction. If burying: Bed in sand/fine soil where possible, and avoid rocks that can press into the line over time. Leak check: Run the compressor and check joints with soapy water at all connections before final backfill/closing panels. Commission: Confirm consistent bubbles across the entire linear diffuser length once deployed. What is this tubing used for? This tubing is the airline that carries air from your aeration cabinet/compressor to your O2B2 linear diffuser. It’s a key part of a diffused aeration system: compressor → tubing/airline → diffuser → fine bubbles. What do I need with it? Typically: fittings/manifold connections sized to the tubing ID clamps (if barbed fittings) diffuser connection hardware (depending on your diffuser assembly) optional abrasion protection at transitions (cabinet/shoreline)
