N247-585 Aluminum Round Tube 1x1/16x48 Inch Mill Finish

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-585 is a mill-finish aluminum round tube measuring 1 inch in outer diameter, 1/16 inch in wall thickness, and 48 inches in length. This stock aluminum tube is suited for structural and decorative applications where a lightweight yet load-bearing material is required. Aluminum construction resists corrosion and allows the tube to be cut, bent, or formed on-site with standard metalworking tools. The mill finish leaves the surface uncoated and ready for painting, anodizing, or use as-is. Each package contains 2 tubes.

This round tube is commonly used in residential and light commercial projects including fencing assemblies, handrail fabrication, gate frameworks, and general structural framing. Its hollow round profile makes it easy to work with standard tube benders and saws. Contractors, fabricators, and skilled DIYers typically reach for this profile when they need a manageable, weldable, and formable aluminum section that holds up under pressure loads without adding significant weight to the assembly.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction — lightweight and corrosion-resistant
• Mill finish surface ready for anodizing, painting, or bare use
• Can be bent, cut, or formed into multiple shapes on-site
• Suited for fencing, handrails, gate frames, and structural framework
• Withstands heavy pressure loads relative to its weight

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round tube for use in fencing, handrail, gate, and light structural framing applications where a 1-inch diameter, 1/16-inch wall tube is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by metal fabricators, fence contractors, or experienced tradespeople using standard tube-cutting and bending equipment. Always deburr cut ends before assembly to prevent injury and ensure clean joints. When welding aluminum, use appropriate filler rod and follow established procedures for aluminum alloys. Verify local building codes for handrail and fencing structural requirements before finalizing any load-bearing installation.
