Sioux Chief Braided Vinyl Tubing, 7/8" OD x 5/8" ID

Sioux Chief braided vinyl tubing is manufactured to a 7/8" outside diameter (OD) x 5/8" inside diameter (ID) for flexible rough-in and appliance supply-line connections. The braided vinyl wall gives the tubing enough flex to route around framing, valves, and fixture bodies without kinking, while still holding its shape once routed and connected. Plumbers and contractors use this style of tubing where a rigid copper or CPVC run is not practical, such as a short flexible hookup between a supply stop and an appliance or fixture inlet. Because the tubing is supplied as straight stock, installers cut it to the exact length needed at the point of connection rather than working with a fixed pre-formed length. Sioux Chief sizes this tubing specifically to 7/8" OD x 5/8" ID so it mates with fittings and connectors built to that same dimension.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 7/8" OD x 5/8" ID sizing for a precise fit on matching supply-line connections and fittings.
  • Braided Construction: A reinforced braided wall resists kinking and collapsing when the tubing is bent or routed through tight rough-in spaces.
  • Flexible Vinyl Material: Vinyl tubing flexes easily by hand for routing around obstructions, then holds its position once installed and connected.
  • Tubing Type: A flexible connector tube intended for supply-line and appliance connection applications rather than rigid pipe runs.
  • Cut-Length Stock: Supplied as tubing stock so installers can cut it to the exact length required at the connection point.
  • Consistent OD/ID Sizing: The matched 7/8" OD x 5/8" ID dimensions keep the tubing compatible with fittings sized for this tube.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Washing Machine and Ice-Maker Supply Connections
  • Appliance Supply-Line Hookups
  • Flexible Connections Between Supply Stops and Fixtures
  • Residential and Commercial Rough-In Plumbing
  • Routing Through Tight Behind-the-Wall and Under-Fixture Spaces
  • Replacement Tubing for Existing Braided Supply Connections

Sioux Chief BRAIDED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size fittings does Sioux Chief braided vinyl tubing work with?
The Sioux Chief braided vinyl tubing measures 5/8 inch ID by 7/8 inch OD, so it mates with connectors and fittings built for that same tube dimension. The 5/8 inch bore is what seats on a barb or insert of that size, and the 7/8 inch outside diameter is what a clamp, ferrule, or compression nut sized for 7/8 inch tube will close on. Fittings sized for a different OD will not seal on it.
2) Can I use this instead of copper or CPVC for a supply run?
No. This is a flexible connector tube for supply-line and appliance hookups, not a substitute for a rigid pipe run. The intended use is the short flexible leg between a supply stop and an appliance or fixture inlet where rigid copper or CPVC is not practical. Keep the rigid material for the run itself and use the vinyl tube only at the connection.
3) Is this braided tubing sold in a fixed length or cut to size?
It comes as straight tubing stock, not a pre-formed or pre-cut connector. Installers cut the length they need at the connection point, which is the practical difference between this and a finished appliance hose with nuts already swaged on. If you need a ready-to-thread connector with fittings on both ends, this is not that part.
4) Will braided vinyl tubing kink if I route it behind a wall or around a fixture body?
The braid reinforcement in the wall is there specifically to keep the tube from kinking or collapsing when bent, so it can be routed around framing, valves, and fixture bodies in tight rough-in spaces and will hold its position once connected. That is the reason to reach for it over plain unreinforced vinyl tube on a behind-the-wall or under-fixture run.
5) What is Sioux Chief 7/8 inch braided tubing typically used for?
Common uses are washing machine and ice-maker supply connections, general appliance supply hookups, and flexible connections between a supply stop and a fixture. It also gets used as replacement tubing on existing braided supply connections in both residential and commercial rough-in work.
6) What material is this Sioux Chief tubing made of?
Vinyl, with a braided reinforcement in the wall. The vinyl flexes by hand for routing and the braid keeps the bore open through the bends. It is not a metal-braided stainless hose, so treat it as a vinyl tube when matching it to a fitting or clamp.
7) How do I order this tubing, and what model number should I reference?
Sioux Chief catalogues this braided vinyl tubing under the model designation BRAIDED, in the single size 5/8 inch ID by 7/8 inch OD. There are no finish or length options to pick on the order; the size is the spec that matters, so confirm your fittings are built for a 7/8 inch OD tube before you buy.
