Top 10 Applications of Rubber Tubing You Didn’t Know About!

Rubber tubing is one of the most versatile and indispensable components used across multiple industries—from advanced electronics and healthcare to automotive and even household appliances. Whether it’s for fluid transfer, insulation, protection, or sealing, rubber tubes are critical to performance and durability.

As a leading manufacturer of custom rubber products in China, RESRUB (Dongguan Xingfeiyu Rubber And Plastic Products Co., Ltd.) specializes in producing high-quality rubber tubing and sealing solutions for global industries. Today, we’ll explore 10 surprising and powerful applications of rubber tubing you probably didn’t know about—and how RESRUB can support your project with custom solutions.

1. PC Liquid Cooling Systems

With the rise of high-performance gaming and AI servers, rubber tubing plays a key role in liquid cooling systems. RESRUB supplies low-evaporation, IPA-resistant rubber tubing designed specifically for the liquid-cooled PC case industry, including premium brands like ASUS.

2. Dishwasher Drain Systems

Rubber tubing is widely used in dishwasher discharge hoses due to its excellent water resistance, flexibility, and heat tolerance. Our tubing is trusted by suppliers of brands such as Haier and Robam through long-term OEM partnerships.

3. Electric Vehicle Battery Cooling

With the development of EVs, rubber tubing is essential in battery thermal management systems. RESRUB provides custom extruded rubber tubing with braided reinforcement for optimal performance and longevity in extreme temperatures.

4. Agricultural Irrigation Systems

Flexible rubber hoses are used for drip irrigation and greenhouse water systems. Thanks to their UV resistance and durability, our agricultural rubber tubing has been a reliable choice for clients in South America and Southeast Asia.

5. Medical and Laboratory Equipment

Rubber tubing used in medical environments must meet stringent hygiene and flexibility requirements. While silicone is often used, certain EPDM and nitrile rubber tubes are preferred in labs for chemical resistance and elasticity. RESRUB’s clean manufacturing environment ensures compliance with international standards.

6. Automotive Vacuum and Fuel Systems

Whether it's vacuum lines, fuel hoses, or breather tubes, high-performance rubber tubing is critical to vehicle operation. Our IATF16949:2016 certified production ensures automotive-grade quality trusted by brands like BYD and Yutong Bus.

7. Sealing and Grommet Protection in Toolboxes

Rubber tubing and strip profiles are used as protective seals for industrial toolboxes. RESRUB provides tailored sealing solutions for toolbox manufacturers, offering vibration dampening and dust protection.

8. Wire Protection in Telecommunication Cabinets

Telecom and power cabinets require robust wire harness protection. Rubber conduit tubing provides insulation and mechanical shielding in harsh outdoor environments. Our extrusion lines produce flame-retardant and UV-resistant tubing options in custom sizes.

9. Home Brewing and Beverage Dispensing

Food-grade rubber tubing is commonly used in home brewing and beverage dispensers for transferring liquids. Our FDA-compliant rubber materials are perfect for small batch brewers or commercial café systems.

10. Construction Machinery Hydraulic Lines

Rubber tubing is also used in hydraulic fluid transfer lines in construction equipment. Our custom rubber tubing can withstand abrasion, pressure, and temperature variations, helping to reduce equipment downtime.
