O2B2 Linear Diffuser Tubing

$890.00

Product Details

O2B2 Linear Diffuser Tubing is purpose-built airline tubing for diffused aeration systems—delivering steady airflow from your compressor to linear diffuser assemblies with a clean, reliable connection.

  • 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

  1. Plan your run: Measure compressor-to-waterline distance, then waterline-to-diffuser distance. Add slack for routing and service loops.

  2. Cut cleanly: Use a sharp tubing cutter/utility knife for a square cut (reduces leak risk).

  3. Fit before clamping: Push tubing fully onto the fitting/barb before installing clamps.

  4. Clamp properly: Use stainless gear clamps (or the fitting type you supply) and tighten snug—do not overtighten and deform the tubing.

  5. Protect transitions: At cabinet exits and shoreline edges, use grommets/conduit or abrasion protection where rubbing could occur.

  6. Route for airflow: Avoid sharp bends and pinches. Keep bends gentle to prevent restriction.

  7. If burying: Bed in sand/fine soil where possible, and avoid rocks that can press into the line over time.

  8. Leak check: Run the compressor and check joints with soapy water at all connections before final backfill/closing panels.

  9. 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)
