What size tubing fits on a syringe?

Published in Syringe Tubing Sizes 1 min read

The size of tubing that fits on a syringe depends on which part of the luer lock fitting you are attaching the tubing to.

According to customer feedback, these sizes are appropriate (reference: Amazon.com Customer Q&A):

  • Center of Luer Lock Fitting: 5/16" OD x 3/16" ID vinyl tubing
  • Outer Collar of Luer Lock Fitting: 7/16" OD x 5/16" ID vinyl tubing

Both sizes of tubing are commonly available at most hardware stores.

In summary, here's a table showing which tubing sizes fit a syringe:

Location on Syringe Tubing Size (OD x ID)
Center of Luer Lock 5/16" x 3/16"
Outer Collar of Luer Lock 7/16" x 5/16"
