Installed in-line with the fuel lines and fuel vents of an aircraft, these tubes are designed to slowly dispel the static charge from a lightning strike. Complete isolation is not the objective as this would lead to lighting strike electrical energy arcing across large gaps with the potential of fuel ignition. The high resistivity range of these tubes protects the fuel lines and the rest of the fuel system from possible combustion.

With a forward-thinking design, and using manufacturing technologies, Parker static dissipating tubes are engineered to provide exceptional insulation resistance without reducing flow rates or requiring special adapters or modifications. Compatible with multiple tube material options, Parker’s static dissipating tubes offer system application flexibility and ease of maintenance.

APPLICATIONS:
Applicable for commercial, military, regional, business, general aviation. Parker’s fuel and vent line static dissipating tubes have flown over 250,000 hours in demanding applications. For example, the components are currently installed on all HondaJet business aircraft as well as Northrop Grumman Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles.
