National Mfg N247-528 Aluminum Round Tube 3/4x1/16x48 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N247-528 is a mill-finish aluminum round tube measuring 3/4 inch outer diameter, 1/16 inch wall thickness, and 48 inches in length. Aluminum construction keeps weight low while maintaining structural integrity under heavy pressure loads. This tube is well suited for light fabrication tasks where a round profile is required. Contractors, ironworkers, and skilled tradespeople commonly work with this stock in fencing, handrail, and gate frame applications. The material can be bent or formed into a variety of shapes using standard tube-bending equipment, making it a versatile addition to a job site or shop.

This round aluminum tube is designed for use in residential and light commercial applications including fence framing, handrail construction, gate fabrication, and general framework assembly. Its mill finish makes it ready for further finishing, anodizing, or painting as the project requires. Sold in a package of 2 tubes, it provides enough material for small to mid-scale framing tasks without requiring bulk ordering. The 48-inch length works well for standard panel heights and railing spans commonly encountered in residential gate and fence work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by ironworkers, fence contractors, or experienced tradespeople using standard tube-cutting and bending equipment. Cuts should be made with a fine-tooth metal saw or tube cutter rated for aluminum stock. Deburr all cut ends before assembly to ensure safe handling and proper fitment. Follow applicable local building codes for handrail and fence post spacing and load requirements.
