Chemical-Resistant PVC Tubes
When working near chemicals such as acids and alkalies, these tubes offer 360° protection to wires, cords, and anything that can slide through them. They’re made of PVC Type 1, a material that’s easy to thermoform, plus it is an excellent insulator. These tubes are oversized on the outside and undersized on the inside to allow for finishing to the sizes listed.

Low-Carbon Steel Rectangular Tubes
Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as fixture clamps, mounting plates, and spacers. This material can be surface hardened with heat treating.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rectangular Tubes
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: H02 (1/2 Hard) to H03 (3/4 Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B135
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. Each tube fits inside the next larger size for creating telescoping tubes.

These rectangular tubes are flame retardant, machinable, and electrically insulating. They’re made of epoxy resin, making them good for use with printed circuit boards, insulating washers, and transformer components. With low moisture absorption, these tubes are often used as thermal insulators. Made with fiberglass fabric reinforcement, they’re strong and easier to machine than other glass cloth phenolics. Garolite G-10/FR4 is also called epoxy-grade industrial laminate and phenolic.

Electrical-Insulating Garolite XXX Rectangular Tubes
- Color: Tan

- Tensile Strength: 12,000-14,000 psi
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell M110 (Extra Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
Commonly used in transformers and switch gear cans on electrical poles, these rectangular tubes are more electrically insulating than Garolite XX. Also known as paper-grade industrial laminate and phenolic, they’re also good for use in insulating washers, bushings, and terminal boards. Made of phenolic resin with paper reinforcement, they’re lightweight yet strong. Though not as strong as Garolite XX, they have better moisture resistance and can hold up in humid environments. These tubes resist splitting during machining. They also won’t wear down tooling as fast as phenolic products with glass cloth reinforcement.
