Value Collection 36279 316 Ss Welded Tube 3/8 in Od 6 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36279 is a welded 316 stainless steel tube designed for fluid transfer, instrumentation, and process piping applications. Measuring 3/8 inch outside diameter with a 0.049 inch wall thickness, this tube offers a 0.277 inch inside diameter and comes in a 6-foot length. The 316 grade stainless steel alloy provides strong resistance to corrosion, including chloride environments, making it a reliable choice for demanding service conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and process technicians commonly work with this tube type in both commercial and industrial settings where material integrity and dimensional consistency are required.

This welded stainless steel tube is suited for use in plumbing systems, HVAC hydronic lines, chemical processing equipment, food service applications, and marine environments where 316 stainless is specified. The 6-foot length allows for flexible field cutting and fitting during installation. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it appropriate for both interior and exterior installations exposed to moisture, mild acids, or saline conditions. Contractors and fabricators working with instrumentation lines or fluid handling systems will find this a standard fit for many common configurations.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in chloride and acidic environments
• Welded tube construction with 3/8 inch outside diameter and 0.049 inch wall thickness
• Inside diameter of 0.277 inches for consistent flow calculations and fitting selection
• 6-foot length provides flexibility for field fabrication and cutting to size
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation tube for systems specifying 3/8 inch OD welded 316 stainless steel tubing in plumbing, instrumentation, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

This tube is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off all fluid supply and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Use appropriate tube cutters, deburring tools, and compatible compression or weld fittings rated for 316 stainless steel. Avoid mixing with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
