Low-Carbon Steel Round 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 frames, supports, and conduit. This steel is manufactured to ASTM, SAE, or EN standards for quality and performance.
DOM (drawn over mandrel) welded tubes are stronger than ERW (electric resistance welded) tubes.
Heat treatable tubes can be surface hardened. Tubes that are stress relieved minimize warping during machining.
Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Cast Acrylic Tubes
- Color: Clear
- Temperature Range: 0° to 150° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000-11,250 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.3-0.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M94-M100 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: See table
Fabricate containers, tanks, and lenses for light fixtures with these scratch- and UV-resistant cast acrylic tubes. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This material stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time.
Flexible Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation
Soft and easy to install, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is often used on cold and hot water lines and refrigeration lines. Seal with contact adhesive (sold separately). To use outdoors, coat in acrylic paint.
Slit tubes have an adhesive strip closure.

Strut-Mount Vibration-Damping Routing Clamps
Slide multiple clamps into existing strut channel to organize lines of pipe, tubing, and conduit without the need for drilling, welding, or using adhesive. Clamps have a plastic or rubber cushion or body to reduce vibration.
Zinc-plated steel and stainless steel clamps with TPE cushion resist most oils, chemicals, and cleaning compounds. With a metal body, they provide a more secure hold than TPE clamps. Slide into strut channel and fasten the nut to secure. Stainless steel clamps are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated steel clamps.

Strut-Mount Metal Routing Clamps for Insulated Pipe
Secure insulated pipe to strut channel without pinching the insulation or exposing the pipe. These clamps are sized for use with insulated pipe and have a plastic insert that creates a seal around the insulation to prevent the pipe from sweating, which can cause mold and corrosion. To install, slide the clamp into the strut channel, insert the insulated pipe, and tighten the clamping screw to secure. All are zinc-plated steel and TPO for good corrosion resistance.

Strut-Mount Metal Routing Clamps
Route pipe, tubing, and conduit across strut channel. To install, slide the clamp into the strut channel and tighten the clamping screw to secure.
Zinc-plated steel clamps have good corrosion resistance. Copper-plated steel clamps resist corrosion when used with copper tubing. 304 stainless steel clamps have excellent corrosion resistance and good chemical resistance. 316 stainless steel clamps have excellent corrosion and chemical resistance.
