DX Engineering Rigid Tubing
DX Engineering Aluminum Tubing
DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubes are ideal for your antenna building projects. It is made available in sizes that fit into and over the next, with close tolerances specifically designed for strength when joined and overlapping only by a few to several inches, to build Yagi, Moxon or vertical antenna elements. NOTE: This tubing is NOT intended for each size to telescope completely into the full length of the next; it cannot be used for telescopic mast building. 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, as well as dents, dings and unseen bending or crushing suffered during shipment will cause binding that prevents this aluminum tubing from fully nesting. 6063-T832 seamless drawn aluminum tubing is available in 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 a series of 3 ft. lengths to build an element that tapers more quickly for lower wind-resistance applications. Use a series of 6 ft. lengths to make an element that tapers more slowly for greater strength and 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. 3003-H14 drawn aluminum tubing features a 0.035 inch wall thickness and a 1/4 inch outside diameter. Each piece is supplied with non slit ends and is available in both 3 foot and 6 foot lengths, making them ideal for your antenna building projects. 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. Packaged shipments of 6 ft. tubing have oversize shipping fees, regardless of the number of 6 ft. pieces. Therefore, order more 6 ft. pieces to spread oversize fees over more tubing for a more cost effective shipment. Tubing that is 12 ft. long MUST be shipped by truck freight. If you need many pieces of the same size in a 12 ft. tube length, then buying DX Engineering High-Strength Aluminum Tubing Bundles (elsewhere in our catalog) maximizes the economy of scale for your shipping costs.

DX Engineering Cam Lock Clamp Kits
DX Engineering Cam Lock Clamp Kits provide fast and easy operation of portable telescopic non-metallic masts. Four kits of multiple clamps are offered which cover ten sizes of Cam Lock Clamps for a comprehensive selection. These mast clamps are the type that permanently mount on the lower tube and allow fast telescopic mast extension and collapsing using the integral Cam Lock Lever that secures the smaller inside tube. Each clamp has a number stamped on it, which helps to identify the Cam Lock Clamp. To find the kit that serves your needs, see the clamp kit selection and size chart in the images. in "Documentation" and the "More Detail" link. Each Cam Lock Clamp kit includes a 3mm Allen wrench that fits all three cap screws, two for the lower tube mounting clamp and one on the upper Lever adjustment. Once properly adjusted, the closed Cam Lock Lever will hold the upper tube in place very securely. A vinyl cap is included to cover the top of the smallest fiberglass tube being clamped. NOTE: Tightening adjustment of the Cam Lock Clamp cap screws is typically required for normal operation. When Cam Lock cap screws are correctly tightened, clamped upper sections stay in extended position. These top-grade clamps sets are designed to be used on DX Engineering Telescopic Fiberglass Tubing Kits or may be used on other fiberglass tubing sets of the appropriate sizes. Upgrade your portable fiberglass mast kit with DX Engineering Cam Lock Clamp Kits.

DX Engineering Project Fiberglass
DX Engineering Project Fiberglass is NON-TELESCOPING tubing which is intended to be used as independent parts, or as stock to be cut for parts. Use it for whatever your imagination can devise: cut it into pieces for coil forms, shelf legs, side arms, and so on. The sky is the limit for the number of uses when there is no requirement for telescoping or wall thickness consistency. DX Engineering Project Fiberglass is limited-availability, non-telescopic fiberglass tubing, sold only in a variety of non-nesting sizes and only as eight foot lengths. An oversize shipping charge will apply. These tubes have a nominal and variable wall thickness of approximately 0.120 inch. Their variable wall thickness makes their openings non-concentric at any point along their length. Therefore, even though two tubes may actually fit or slide together for part of the way, they may get stuck together if you force them. If two tubes do slide together, the next two tubes of the same size may not. This is our definition of non-telescopic tubing. NOTICE - DX Engineering Project Fiberglass: 1. IS SOLD AS-IS 2. MAY NOT BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASON 3. IS NON-TELESCOPING, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SLITS IN ONE END 4. CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO BE USED TO MAKE A MAST OR TELESCOPING SUPPORT 5. CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO ASSEMBLE TELESCOPICALLY, NEITHER TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY DX Engineering Project Fiberglass is non-telescoping tubing. Buy it, as-is, only while limited quantities are available for your non-telescoping fiberglass tubing projects!

DX Engineering Fiberglass Tubing
DX Engineering Fiberglass Tubing is ideal for building your own antenna supports, such as quad spreaders, insulated UHF stacking frames, a vertical wire, or even temporary push-up masts using the larger diameter tubing. DX Engineering Fiberglass Tubing features a soft gray color that is uniform from piece to piece to make an eye-pleasing assembly and is finished to be highly UV resistant. Optional slit ends are ideal for clamping without drilling, because drilling weakens the tubing. Don't forget DX Engineering stainless steel element clamps for that final, long-lasting assembly or easy-to-assemble portable installation. DX Engineering Guy Rings and Vertical Guying Kits are available to stabilize a vertical assembly. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. These fiberglass tubes are non-telescopic, sold as-is, and non-returnable. Please contact us with questions before purchasing. Uses for our DX Engineering Fiberglass Tubing are only limited by imagination. Kick your thoughts in gear and order your tubing… today!
