Value Collection 37086 316 Ss Welded Tube 1 in Od 6 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 37086 is a welded 316 stainless steel tube measuring 6 feet in length with a 1 inch outside diameter and a 0.065 inch wall thickness. The resulting inside diameter is 0.870 inches. This tube is suited for fluid transfer, structural framing, instrumentation lines, and process piping in corrosive or high-moisture environments. The 316 alloy provides superior resistance to chlorides and chemical exposure compared to 304 grade, making it a common choice for marine, food processing, chemical, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant line applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically work with this material in both commercial and industrial settings.

This tube is appropriate for light structural, fluid conveyance, or instrumentation applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are required. Its welded construction suits moderate-pressure, non-critical process lines. The 1 inch OD and 0.065 inch wall are standard sizes compatible with common tube fittings, compression fittings, and weld-on end connections used in commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line sets, and industrial process systems. The 6 foot length ships as a single piece and is sized for bench-cut or field-cut applications.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel alloy for enhanced chloride and corrosion resistance
• Welded tube construction suitable for moderate-pressure fluid and gas lines
• 1 inch outside diameter with 0.870 inch inside diameter and 0.065 inch wall thickness
• 6 foot length ready for field or shop cutting to required dimensions
• Compatible with standard compression, flare, and weld-on tube fittings sized for 1 inch OD tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock tube for applications requiring 1 inch OD welded 316 stainless steel tubing in plumbing, HVAC, marine, food processing, or industrial process piping systems.

Installation Notes

Cutting should be performed with a tube cutter or cold saw to maintain a clean, square end and avoid work-hardening the material. Deburr and clean all cut ends before fitting connections. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping or local plumbing codes for potable water and drain applications. Verify fitting and connection ratings are appropriate for the intended operating pressure and temperature before installation.
