Hydraulic Tubing
PSI Hydraulics supplies, custom manufactures, bends, and installs hydraulic tubing for industrial and mobile equipment. Whether you need replacement tubing, a line built to your specifications, or tubing fitted to an existing machine, our team can take the project from material selection and fabrication through onsite installation.
Hydraulic Tubing Supply, Fabrication & Installation
Hydraulic tubing must match the demands of the system and the space it runs through. Material, diameter, wall thickness, fittings, pressure requirements, bend geometry, and routing all affect whether a line fits and performs as intended.
PSI Hydraulics distributes hydraulic tubing and manufactures custom lines for equipment and systems that require a specific configuration. We can work from supplied specifications, drawings, an existing tube, or the machine’s setup to determine the appropriate replacement or custom assembly. This includes reproducing damaged or difficult-to-source lines.
PSI also travels to customer sites to install hydraulic tubing. When the final route must be fitted to the machine or surrounding equipment, our team can bend the tubing onsite as part of the installation. Customers can work with PSI for the tubing, custom fabrication, and installation instead of coordinating those steps separately.

Why Choose PSI
A replacement hydraulic line needs to do more than match the diameter of the old tube. It must suit the system’s operating requirements and fit around the machine’s components without putting unnecessary stress on the tubing or connections. PSI can source the material, manufacture the line to the required configuration, and install it onsite. When the final fit depends on the equipment layout, our team can bend and route the tubing at the machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should hydraulic tubing be replaced instead of repaired?
Hydraulic tubing should generally be replaced if it is cracked, kinked, excessively corroded, or has suffered damage that could compromise its pressure rating or structural integrity. Attempting to repair damaged tubing may introduce safety risks or reduce long-term reliability.
Can PSI Hydraulics reproduce a hydraulic tube if the original is unavailable?
Yes. Existing hydraulic tubing can often be used as a pattern for reverse engineering. PSI Hydraulics can reproduce tube routing, bend geometry, overall length, and fitting configurations to manufacture replacement hydraulic lines for obsolete or difficult-to-source equipment.
Why is bend geometry important in hydraulic tubing?
Accurate bend geometry ensures the tubing follows the intended routing without placing stress on fittings or interfering with surrounding components. Even small variations in bend location or angle can complicate installation and reduce service life.
What information is needed to identify replacement hydraulic tubing?
Helpful information includes tube outside diameter, wall thickness, overall length, fitting types, material, and equipment application. If these specifications are unavailable, PSI Hydraulics can often identify or reproduce the tubing from an existing sample.
Can PSI supply hydraulic tubing without installation?
Yes. PSI distributes hydraulic tubing and can supply replacement or custom manufactured lines based on the project’s requirements.
Can PSI manufacture and install a custom hydraulic line?
Yes. PSI can manufacture tubing to match the required specifications or equipment setup, then travel onsite for installation.
Can the tubing be bent during installation?
Yes. PSI can bend tubing onsite when fitting and routing it to the hydraulic machine or system being serviced.
