Value Collection 32480 Seamless Alloy Steel Tube 1010

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32480 is a seamless 1010 alloy steel tube intended for industrial, mechanical, and trade fabrication applications. It measures 0.5 inches in outside diameter with a wall thickness of 0.065 inches, yielding an inside diameter of 0.380 inches. The tube is 72 inches (6 feet) in total length. Seamless construction eliminates a longitudinal weld seam, providing consistent wall thickness and uniform mechanical properties along the full length. 1010 low-carbon steel offers good formability and weldability, making it a common choice for structural tubing, fluid-line fabrication, and general mechanical assemblies.

This tube is suited for plumbing rough-in, HVAC structural framing, refrigeration line support, and general mechanical fabrication where a lightweight, weldable steel tube is required. It is also used in shop fabrication, custom bracket work, and hydraulic or pneumatic support structures. The single-piece, 72-inch length allows for on-site cutting to fit a range of applications without the need for additional joints or couplings at the mid-span.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for consistent wall thickness and no weld-seam weak points
• 1010 low-carbon alloy steel grade for reliable formability and weldability
• 0.5 inch outside diameter with 0.065 inch wall thickness and 0.380 inch inside diameter
• Full 72-inch length minimizes on-site splicing requirements
• Suitable for cutting, bending, welding, and threading in field or shop environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose seamless steel tube for use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial fabrication applications where 0.5 inch OD, 1010-grade seamless steel tubing is specified.

Installation Notes

This tube is typically cut and fitted by pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, or plumbers using standard tube cutters, hacksaws, or cold saws rated for mild steel. Always deburr cut ends before insertion into fittings or assemblies. Follow applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Mechanical Code for structural and fluid-line applications. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting or welding steel tubing.
