Value Collection 96311 Stainless Steel Tube 1/4 in Od 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 96311 is a welded 304 stainless steel tube suited for instrumentation, fluid transfer, and light structural applications in industrial and mechanical trade work. It measures 1/4 inch outside diameter with a 0.016 inch wall thickness and an inside diameter of 0.218 inches. Available in 6 to 7 foot lengths, this tube is supplied as a single piece per package. The 304 grade stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in a wide range of service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly specify this tube for process lines, sample tubing, and similar small-bore applications.

This tube is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical systems as well as industrial process installations. Its small outside diameter and thin wall make it well suited for tight routing paths and low-flow instrumentation lines. The welded construction meets standard dimensional tolerances for general-purpose tube stock. Technicians working in HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and process piping will find this size a common fit for capillary and pilot lines where 1/4 inch OD tubing is specified.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• Welded tube process with 0.016 inch wall thickness for lightweight, small-bore applications
• 1/4 inch outside diameter with 0.218 inch inside diameter for consistent flow path
• 6 to 7 foot length provides flexibility for cut-to-length installations
• Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity of 3 units applies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose small-bore tube for use in instrumentation, fluid transfer, and mechanical systems requiring 1/4 inch OD welded stainless steel tubing in 304 grade.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or instrumentation technicians. Shut off all fluid flow and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting this tube. Use appropriate tube cutters rated for stainless steel to avoid work-hardening the cut edge. Follow applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes for the service application.
