Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, rollers, and bushings.

Polished on the outside to a #8 reflective, mirror-like finish, these tubes have no visible grain lines.

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

The outside of these tubes is anodized to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

3003 aluminum stands up to outdoor use, as well as exposure to chemicals. It offers a good combination of strength, formability, and weldability. It's often used for storage tanks, heat exchangers, and general sheet metal work.

5086 aluminum is used on ships, oil rigs, tanks, and pressure vessels because of its excellent saltwater resistance and formability.

Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is often used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations.

The textured surface hides fingerprints and dents. This material is widely used in decorative applications, such as partitions and handrails.

With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Offering the highest yield strength of all our brass, 330 has a low lead content for a good balance of machinability and formability. It's used for fire station poles, pump cylinder lines, and plumbing accessories.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated.

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

The addition of phosphorus makes 122 copper easier to weld and braze than 110 copper. It has excellent resistance to corrosion caused by water, soil, and weather, making it the go-to material for plumbing and underground applications.

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

Because ABS maintains its toughness even after thermoforming, it’s often made into storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

CPVC is just as chemical resistant as standard PVC Type 1 and can handle hotter temperatures up to 200° F.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Connect and separate threaded rods, studs, and other components. These hollow rods have internal threads on both ends, so you can make connections and still pass wiring and other objects through the center of the rod.

Pipe has clockwise (right-hand) threads on one end and counterclockwise (left-hand) threads on the other end. When you use a wrench to turn, connections on both ends tighten at the same time.

Made of galvanized steel, this Schedule 40 pipe has fair corrosion resistance and is designed for low-pressure applications.

A plastic sleeve prevents destructive corrosion when connecting different metals.

Typically used with medium-pressure iron and steel threaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule 80.

Typically used with high-pressure iron and steel threaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule 160.

Typically used with thick-wall and high-pressure iron and steel unthreaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule 80.

Typically used with extreme-pressure iron and steel unthreaded pipe fittings. Pipe is also known as Schedule XXH .

Use this pipe in gravity-flow applications both above and below ground.

Typically used with low-pressure stainless steel threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with medium-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with low-pressure brass and bronze threaded pipe fittings.

Typically used with high-pressure aluminum threaded pipe fittings.

Connect this pipe to standard-wall plastic pipe fittings in low- to medium-pressure applications up to 750 psi. It is typically used in residential and commercial plumbing and water supply applications.

Connect to thick-wall plastic pipe fittings for use in heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. Pipe can handle pressures up to 900 psi.

Extra-thick Schedule 120 walls give this pipe excellent strength in heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. Use in high-pressure applications up to 1,000 psi. They connect to thick-wall plastic pipe fittings.

Use this pipe in gravity-flow applications that involve highly-corrosive chemicals–it is NSF certified for use in corrosive waste systems. Pipe is made of CPVC, which has better chemical resistance than ABS plastic to stand up to acids and other harsh substances.

This pipe has thinner walls than Schedule 40 pipe, so it’s lighter in weight and has more space on the inside for high-flow applications, such as underground gravity-flow sewer and storm drainage lines.

With excellent corrosion resistance, this pipe can handle a wide range of acids and other highly-corrosive chemicals. Use in metal surface treating applications, plating solution lines, and other chemical process applications. Layers of fiberglass give this pipe better strength and durability than any of our other pipe for chemicals.

Also known as Victaulic pipe, this pipe has grooved ends that connect to fittings and flanges with a clamp, so you can access your line for routine maintenance. It is CPVC, which has excellent chemical resistance to withstand a variety of salt solutions, acids, and other harsh substances.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94V0 for flame retardance.

Used in turbine bearings, downpipe gaskets, and other machinery, these Garolite tubes withstand heavy impacts and temperatures as high as 500° F.

The strongest composite we offer, carbon fiber is comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum yet lighter in weight.
