DX Engineering Aluminum Tubing DXE-AT1485

DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubes are ideal for your antenna projects. They are available in two types.

6063-T832 seamless drawn aluminum tubing is available in 1, 3, 6 and 12 ft. lengths. 6063-T832 tubing provides good resistance to general corrosion, including stress corrosion cracking, and an excellent surface appearance.

Use 3 ft. lengths for fast-taper, low wind-resistance applications. The 6 ft. slow taper lengths afford the greatest bandwidth. The 12 ft. lengths are great for HF Yagi construction.

Most sizes (except 12 ft.) are available slit on one end for use with DX Engineering stainless steel element clamps. If un-slit ends are required for your applications, merely insert the slit end into the next larger size in the stack and use your own attachment method.

6063-T832 tubing features a 0.058 in. wall thickness and is available in 1/8 in. increments from 3/8 in. to 2-1/8 in. O.D.

If your setup requires maximum strength at very long assembly lengths, then choose DX Engineering 6061-T8 tubing. This heavy-duty version features a 0.120 in. wall thickness and is available in 1/4 in. increments from 1-1/2 in. to 3 in. O.D.

NOTE: DX Engineering aluminum tubing is manufactured to very close tolerances. This provides the greatest amount of surface contact between nesting tubes for mechanical and electrical stability. Due to the close tolerance, any burrs, dirt, grit or other foreign material may cause binding that prevents tubes from nesting. Please refer to the instruction sheet included with your tubing for additional details.

NOTE: Tubing that is 12 ft. long MUST be shipped by truck freight. If you need many pieces of the same 12 ft. tube, then buying DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubing Bundles (elsewhere in our catalog) maximizes the economy of scale for your shipping costs.

Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.

Whether you want 1, 3, 6, or even 12 ft. lengths of tubing, order DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubes… today!
