Exact fitment for Graco 054175 – TUBE, NYL, RND, .250 OD, .040 WA depends on the assembly used. Verify 054175 in your machine’s parts manual or exploded diagram.
- Graco plural-component proportioners (e.g., VPM-series) where 1/4" OD nylon tube is specified
- Graco hydraulic / proportioning systems using 1/4" OD process tubing
- Graco high-viscosity / adhesive equipment with 1/4" OD nylon transfer lines
- Accessory circuits on various Graco finishing/industrial units calling for 0.250" OD, 0.040" wall nylon tube
Product Overview
Graco 054175 Tube, Nylon, Round, 0.250" OD, 0.040" Wall is an OEM nylon process tube used for fluid/air transfer in Graco industrial and plural-component equipment. Nylon provides a balance of chemical resistance, abrasion durability, and flexibility for routing inside machine frames and panels.

Why Choose OEM Nylon Tubing
- Genuine Graco part for correct fit and material spec
- Chemical & abrasion resistance suitable for coatings and adhesives handling
- Stable dimensioning for push-to-connect and compression fittings designed around 1/4" OD
- Clean routing with moderate bendability to fit panels and manifolds
How to Confirm Compatibility
- Open your Graco unit’s parts manual and search for part 054175.
- Measure your current tube: confirm 0.250" OD and approx. 0.040" wall.
- Match the material (nylon) and ensure chemical compatibility with your media.
- Check fittings (push-in or compression) are specified for 1/4" OD nylon tube.
Notes & Best Practices
- Cut with a sharp, square-edge tubing cutter to avoid ovalization.
- Avoid tight bends; respect minimum bend radius to prevent kinking.
- Keep away from sharp edges and high-heat sources; use clamps or grommets for strain relief.
Frequently Asked Questions
.250" OD is the outside diameter (¼"). .040" wall is the wall thickness. The estimated inside diameter is OD minus twice the wall (≈ 0.170").
Yes—Graco 054175 is an OEM nylon tube specified in various Graco assemblies. Always verify against your unit’s parts list for exact placement.
Use the material specified by Graco for your assembly. Different polymers have different pressure, temperature, and chemical resistance. If your manual lists 054175 (nylon), substitution isn’t recommended unless the assembly spec allows it.
Supply format can vary by region/distributor. Cut the tube square with a proper tube cutter; deburr lightly to protect seals and ensure reliable push-fit connections.
Pressure ratings depend on temperature, media, routing, and fittings. Always follow the machine manual and assembly specification for allowable pressure and service conditions.
