FDA-formula vinyl rated for non-pressurized water lines, so it's right at home on livewell runs, sink and galley drains, and tank-to-pump gravity feeds. The clear wall lets you watch flow and catch an air lock at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear PVC tubing is one of those boat supplies you don't think about until you need a run of it, and then you really want the good stuff already on hand. This is Sierra's 1 inch inside diameter vinyl tubing, sold as a full 100 foot spool. It's clear, so you can watch water move through it and spot an air pocket, a kink, or a bit of debris at a glance. The vinyl is an FDA formula, which means it's a food-grade blend suited to potable and non-pressurized water lines. That's the one thing to understand before you buy. This is a non-pressurized line, not a high-pressure feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo where does 1 inch tubing earn its keep on a boat? Plenty of places. Livewell fill and drain runs. Baitwell plumbing. Sink and galley drains. Tank-to-pump gravity feeds. Deck wash gravity lines. Freshwater transfer when you're topping off a tank from a jug. The clear wall makes it easy to prime a line and confirm you've actually got flow, which matters a lot when you're chasing an air lock in a livewell pump at five in the morning and the bite is on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's be straight about pressure. This tubing is built for gravity and low-pressure work, tank-to-pump feeds and drains, not for the pressure side of a water system. Run pump pressure through it and over time you'll see it bulge out at the fittings. If you need a pressurized potable line, that's a different, reinforced hose and you should buy that instead. Use this where the water is moving under its own weight or a gentle pull, and it'll serve you for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitting it up is simple if you size things right. One inch ID vinyl seats cleanly over 1 inch barbed fittings, and brass or nylon barbs hold far better than smooth push-on plastic. Deburr or knock down the sharp edges of the barb so it doesn't nick the tube wall as you push it on. For clamps, a 1-1\/16 inch or 1-1\/8 inch stainless clamp lands right in the sweet spot for this outside diameter. On a smooth thru-hull spigot, don't trust a single clamp. Double them up, and a dab of sealant on an older fiberglass thru-hull is cheap insurance against a slow weep down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of real-world notes from folks who've rigged a lot of this stuff. In tight engine room or bilge runs the tube can kink on a hard bend. Warm it with a heat gun first and it'll take the curve without collapsing on itself. The 100 foot coil is heavy and a little awkward to wrestle in a small cockpit, so it's usually easier to measure and cut your lengths on the dock rather than dragging the whole spool below. And keep it out of direct sun where you can. Clear vinyl will yellow and stiffen after a season of hard UV, so it's happiest run below decks or anywhere it stays shaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing on the FDA vinyl. Fresh out of the box a brand new clear line can carry a faint plastic taste for the first couple of weeks. Flush it through a few times before you lean on it for drinking water, or run an inline filter downstream, and that taste clears right up. At 100 feet on a single spool you've got enough to replumb a whole livewell system, re-run your galley drains, and still have a spare length coiled in the lazarette for the next project. That's the whole point of buying it by the spool. You're not making a parts-store run in the middle of a job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch inside diameter seats over standard 1 inch barbed fittings on livewell, drain, and transfer lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100 foot continuous spool covers a full replumb with spare length left over for the next job\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear PVC wall lets you see flow, air pockets, and debris through the line at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFDA formula vinyl is a food-grade blend suited to potable, non-pressurized water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible vinyl routes around tight bilge and locker corners, warm it with a heat gun for hard bends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairs with 1-1\/16 inch or 1-1\/8 inch stainless clamps for a clean, leak-free seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-pressurized design fits gravity feeds, tank-to-pump lines, sink drains, and deck wash runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth bore keeps flow steady and makes a fresh line easy to prime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sierra Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is this clear PVC tubing used for on a boat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a non-pressurized water line, so it fits livewell and baitwell plumbing, sink and galley drains, tank-to-pump gravity feeds, deck wash lines, and general freshwater transfer.
