Spiralite – Air Switch Tube for Spa Air Buttons, Per Metre

This Spiralite air switch tube is the flexible hose that connects an air button to its air switch in a hot tub or spa. It is sold per metre, so you order the length your installation needs, and because the diameter is standard it suits every button and switch on the market.

Compatibility with air buttons and air switches

The tube has one standard diameter and no other size exists. That means you do not have to match it to a particular brand or model: it works with all air buttons and air switches on the market.

Typical parts it links together include an air button such as the Len Gordon LG15 air button and an air switch such as the Tecmark SPDT latching air switch, side spout. The same tube is used whichever of these you choose.

Fitting and connections

Connections are made with end caps that slide inside the hose, so the tube is joined to the button or switch from the inside rather than over the outside.

If your layout needs more than a simple run of tube, fittings are available:

• a straight connector to join two lengths of tube;
• a T shape connector for air pipes to split a run into a branch.

You only need these when your installation calls for them.

Dimensions

The hose has the following dimensions:

• Outside diameter: 6.5 mm
• Inside diameter: 2 mm

How to order the right length

The price is per metre, so the quantity you enter is the number of metres of air switch tube you need. Measure the route from each air button to its air switch, allowing for the path the tube will take through your spa, and order accordingly.

Since the tube is the same size for every setup, the main decision is how much you need and whether you also require end caps, couplers or tees to complete the connections.
