Welded Stainless Steel Tubing
When your application does not require a smooth interior, this tubing is an economical choice. It has a weld bead on the inside.
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance.

Vacuum-Rated Large-Diameter Aluminum Tubing
- Temperature Range: Not Rated
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Fittings: Vacuum
Move bulk material, exhaust gas, or suck up dust in powerful vacuum systems—this tubing is large enough to transfer pellets and debris and strong enough to withstand nearly perfect vacuum. Made of aluminum, it’s lighter weight than steel tubing, so it’s best when you need to reduce the weight of your system. It also resists corrosion from frequent rinsing, humidity, and rain. Nonmagnetic, it won’t disrupt sensitive equipment. This tubing isn’t welded, which means it’s free of weak spots and ridges that could obstruct flow.
Vacuum-Rated Large-Diameter Steel Tubing
- Max. Temperature: Not Rated
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Fittings: Vacuum
This tubing has the strength to withstand vacuum applications up to 29" Hg. It is welded and has a weld bead on the inside.
Tubing with a galvanized finish offers better corrosion resistance than unfinished steel.
