Blue-White Industries Flex-a-Prene Pump Tube Assembly 3/8" OD with Compression Fitting — A1-6T Replacement

This pump tube assembly delivers a direct-fit replacement for commercial and industrial dosing pumps that require a 3/8" outside-diameter tube and reliable compression connection. Manufactured from Flex-a-Prene, the A1-6T balances flexibility and chemical resistance for routine fluid transfer tasks. It is engineered to reinstall quickly into compatible Blue-White pump heads and supports uninterrupted operation when maintaining or repairing metering systems.

Will this tube assembly fit my Blue-White pump model?

The A1-6T is intended as a drop-in replacement for assemblies using a 3/8" outside-diameter tube and compression-style fitting. Confirm your existing tube’s outside diameter and part number before ordering to ensure compatibility. It specifically replaces part number A-002N-6T, making it an easy swap for systems previously equipped with that part.

• Outside diameter: 3/8" (0.375")
• Fitting style: compression fitting for quick installation
• Cross-reference: replaces A-002N-6T for direct compatibility
• Designed for Blue-White pump heads using 3/8" OD tubing

What properties does the Flex-a-Prene material provide?

Flex-a-Prene is chosen for its combination of elasticity and resistance to common dosing fluids. It maintains shape under repeat flexing in peristaltic or diaphragm pump applications and offers improved wear life compared with generic tubing. While durable, always check chemical compatibility for aggressive or specialty reagents before prolonged exposure.

• Flexible for repeated pump cycles
• Good abrasion and fatigue resistance
• Suitable for many standard water treatment and dosing fluids
• Not intended as a universal solution for all chemicals—verify compatibility

How do I install this compression fitting tube assembly?

Installation is straightforward: remove the old tube assembly, inspect the pump head for debris or wear, then insert the new 3/8" OD Flex-a-Prene tube into the compression fitting and tighten per the pump manufacturer’s instructions. Proper seating and torque prevent leaks while avoiding over-tightening that could damage tubing or fittings. Test the pump at low speed after installation to confirm correct operation before returning to full service.

• Step 1: Power down and depressurize the system
• Step 2: Remove old tube and clean pump head
• Step 3: Insert A1-6T tube into compression fitting and secure
• Step 4: Run a short test cycle to check sealing and flow

How long will this replacement tube last in service?

Service life depends on pump cycle frequency, fluid chemistry, and operating conditions. Under typical dosing and water-treatment environments, Flex-a-Prene tubing performs well for extended periods, but scheduled inspections and preventative replacement help avoid unplanned downtime. Keep spare assemblies on hand for critical systems to minimize service interruptions.

• Durability influenced by cycle rate and fluid type
• Recommended: routine visual inspections and timely replacement
• Storing spares reduces downtime during maintenance
• Replacement part number reference: A-002N-6T

Who is this for: The Blue-White A1-6T tube assembly is ideal for maintenance technicians, facility managers, and service contractors who operate or repair metering pumps in water treatment, chemical dosing, and industrial fluid handling. It suits users who need a proven 3/8" OD Flex-a-Prene replacement that installs quickly into compression fittings and is cross-referenced to part A-002N-6T for straightforward procurement and inventory control.
