Description
The AG Blue Tip Suction Tubing is a 16 in length of clear suction tubing finished with blue tip connectors, the short run between the canister and the filter on most aspirators. Preventive maintenance on suction aspirator equipment is mostly a calendar and a shelf of small parts like this one. Fitted correctly and changed on time, it is one less reason for the suction aspirator unit to miss a night.
- Blue Tip – The soft blue tip on this 16 in tubing is the patient end of the suction aspirator suction path.
- Full 16 in Length – The tubing reaches from the canister to the patient without stretching the setup or adding connectors.
- AG Filtration Pedigree – Made by the same specialists behind AG's CPAP and oxygen filter lines.
- Standard Suction Fit – The tubing connects to standard canister and handpiece fittings in the suction aspirator path.
Where Suction Hygiene Actually Happens
This tubing is a 16 in length of clear suction tubing finished with blue tip connectors, the short run between the canister and the filter on most aspirators. On the suction aspirator, this tubing is the patient-end run, the part of the path that is handled, coiled and replaced most often. The blue tip marks the patient end and gives a soft, visible connector for the handpiece or suction tip. Fresh tubing keeps the path clean and the vacuum honest, because a tired tube leaks at every joint it has ever been bent at. It connects to the standard fittings in the suction aspirator path, so the swap is a hand change at the canister.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bacteria filter protect?
It stands between the collection canister and the pump of the suction aspirator at its inline filter connection, blocking bacteria, viruses and fluid carryover. That barrier is what keeps the suction aspirator pump behind the inline filter connection clean and the suction strong.
How is this filter rated?
The rating AG publishes for this inline filter part is over 99.999% bacterial and viral efficiency, per its own catalog for the suction aspirator line. It is a rated barrier at the inline filter connection in the suction aspirator path, not a nominal screen.
How do I know which connection I need?
Match the connection named in the title, the inline filter connection on this suction aspirator listing, to your aspirator's port, and match the barb sizes to your tubing. The kit listings name their contents, so a full service for the suction aspirator and its inline filter path can be matched at once.
Are the canisters reusable?
Canisters on the suction aspirator are not reprocessed. They are replaced, and the filter at the inline filter connection is replaced with them. The lid's shut-off is what keeps fluid out of the suction aspirator pump as the canister fills.
Is this an AG part or the machine maker's part?
It is an AG Industries part, made by a filtration specialist for machines like the suction aspirator, at its inline filter connection. AG patterns its suction line for the major aspirator brands named in each listing, this one for the suction aspirator at its inline filter connection.
