Value Collection 44557 Seamless Aluminum Tube 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 44557 is a seamless 6061-T6 aluminum tube designed for structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications across a range of trades and industries. Measuring 2 inches in outside diameter with a 0.049-inch wall thickness and an inside diameter of 1.902 inches, this tube offers a lightweight yet structurally capable profile. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates solution heat-treated and artificially aged aluminum, providing solid weldability and corrosion resistance. At 0.35 pounds per 6-foot length, it is easy to handle and cut on the job. Fabricators, pipefitters, and general contractors commonly work with this stock for framing, fluid transfer lines, and custom mechanical assemblies.

This tube is suited for light structural fabrication, custom enclosures, support frameworks, and non-pressure fluid or air conveyance applications where aluminum is preferred over steel for its weight and corrosion resistance. It is a common stock item used in HVAC ductwork supports, equipment frames, and field-fabricated brackets. Each unit is sold as a single 6-foot length, making it practical for smaller projects or repair work requiring a precise cut-to-length starting point.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for consistent wall thickness and structural integrity along the full length
• 6061-T6 aluminum alloy offers good strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion
• 2-inch outside diameter with 0.049-inch wall thickness and 1.902-inch inside diameter
• 6-foot length ships as a single piece, minimizing field cutting waste
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds per piece, reducing handling effort during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6061-T6 seamless aluminum round tube suitable for general fabrication, light structural support, and mechanical assembly applications requiring a 2-inch OD aluminum tube stock.

Installation Notes

This tube is typically cut, drilled, or welded by fabricators and mechanical contractors using standard aluminum-rated tooling. Use carbide or high-speed steel blades appropriate for aluminum when cutting to length. Deburr cut ends before fitting to prevent material damage or injury. Follow applicable structural or mechanical codes for your jurisdiction when incorporating this stock into load-bearing or pressure-carrying assemblies.
