Value Collection 36102 304 Ss Welded Round Tube 5/16 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36102 is a welded, round 304 stainless steel tube designed for general-purpose fluid handling, instrumentation, and structural fabrication applications. With a 5/16 inch outside diameter and a 0.049 inch wall thickness, this tube offers an inside diameter of 0.214 inches. The 304 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance for use in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. It is manufactured to ASTM A269 standards, making it suitable for pressure and general service tubing applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fabricators working with small-bore tubing will find this a reliable stock item for custom runs, fittings, and coil work.

This tube is appropriate for light- to medium-duty installations where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. Common applications include refrigeration and HVAC tubing runs, plumbing instrumentation lines, heat exchanger components, and general stainless fabrication. The 6 to 7 foot length range provides flexibility for both short fabrication cuts and single-piece runs. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 3 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter familiar with small-bore tubing work. Depressurize and isolate any existing line before cutting into or replacing tubing runs. Use a tube cutter sized for 5/16 inch OD stainless to produce a clean, square cut and deburr the cut end before fitting assembly. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the specific service application.
