If you're diving into a custom build or just need some solid tubing for your latest project, let me tell you about this HPS 6061 Aluminum Straight Tubing. With an outside diameter of 1-1/2 inches (that’s about 38mm for those who prefer metric), this stuff is the real deal. It comes in a 1-foot length and has a wall thickness of 16 gauge, which is roughly 1.65mm. That means it’s sturdy enough to handle whatever you throw at it, whether you're working on a car, boat, or even something for the aerospace industry.
This tubing is made from 6061-T6 aluminum, which is known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It’s not just about being tough, though; this aluminum is also lightweight, making it perfect for those DIY air intakes or custom cooling systems you’ve been dreaming about. Plus, if you're into turbo setups, this straight tubing is ideal for intercooler piping—no bends, just straight-up performance.
One of the things I really appreciate about this product is its versatility. It’s commonly used across a range of applications, so whether you’re an automotive enthusiast looking to tweak your ride or a small business owner needing reliable materials for fabrication, this tubing fits the bill. The mill finish gives it a raw, industrial look that can be easily polished up or left as is, depending on your style.
So, if you’re ready to tackle that next project, grab some of this HPS Performance 6061 Aluminum Straight Tubing. It’s a solid choice for anyone serious about custom fabrication.
