Our History: A Leader in Thermoplastic Hose and Tubing

Since our establishment in the early 1990's, Flex-Tech Hose & Tubing has been regarded as an industry leader of Thermoplastic hose and tubing products. We've honed our expertise for propane applications while simultaneously developing custom and specialized solutions for multiple industries. With our in-house extrusion capabilities, we are able to specialize in bulk and custom solutions for OEMs. We make and stock a wide range of extruded hose, hose assemblies, and tubing for gas, air and fluid handling.

Our RV Manifold division has now grown and become its own company: FT Industries, starting officially in 2023. We will continue to partner together to provide the RV industry with the top quality and innovative manifolds that we've developed over the decades.
