High quality Type 6063 drawn aluminum tubing, 6 ft long x 0.058" wall thickness
- ideal for building telescoping assemblies. This 7/8" diameter fits
inside DXE-AT1209 1" tubing and over DXE-AT1207 3/4" tubing.
This tubing
is slit on one end to allow easy clamping using
DXE-ECL-series all stainless steel element
clamps. The recommended clamp for this tubing size is
DXE-ECL-060. If your plans do not require a slit, the slit end may be
simply placed inside the companion telescoping section. This will leave
the unslit end exposed for your final assembly.

Aluminum alloy 6063 is commonly used in seamless and structural tube and pipe.
Alloy 6063 provides good resistance to general corrosion, including resistance
to stress-corrosion cracking.
With excellent surface appearance,
6063 is an alloy of choice for aesthetic applications.
