Chartpak RLTUBE Telescoping Document Storage Tube Black

Product Description

The CHARTPAK RLTUBE is a telescoping document storage tube designed to protect large-format drawings, blueprints, plans, and rolled documents from light exposure, bending, and creasing. Constructed from lightproof plastic, this tube blocks sunlight to prevent fading of sensitive materials. The length adjusts from 26 inches to 43.375 inches in 24 locking increments of 0.75 inches each, allowing a secure fit for a wide range of document lengths. A water-resistant exterior adds further protection during transport or storage. Total unit weight is 1.3 pounds, making it manageable for field carry or desk storage.

The RLTUBE is suited for architects, engineers, drafters, and construction professionals who need to transport or store rolled documents on job sites or between office and field locations. The adjustable-length design accommodates standard and oversized plan sets without rolling them tighter than necessary. The included shoulder strap supports hands-free carry to and from project sites. This tube is intended for transport and storage use and is not recommended as a mailing tube.

Installation Notes

No tools or trade licensing are required to use this document tube.

Avoid overpacking the tube, as excessive pressure on the end caps can compromise the water-resistant seal. Keep away from prolonged standing water exposure despite the water-resistant rating.
