Value Collection 96768 316 Ss Seamless Tube 2in Od 6-7ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 96768 is a seamless 316 stainless steel tube intended for industrial, mechanical, and fluid-handling applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are critical. It measures 2 inches outside diameter with a 0.035-inch wall thickness, yielding a 1.930-inch inside diameter. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, which reduces potential leak points and maintains uniform wall integrity along the full length. Length ranges from 6 to 7 feet, making it suitable for fabrication projects that require cutting to a finished dimension. Pipefitters, industrial maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the typical end users for this material.

This tube is appropriate for sanitary, chemical processing, marine, and general industrial piping systems where 316 stainless steel alloy is specified for its elevated molybdenum content and resistance to chloride-induced corrosion. It can be used in both above-ground and enclosed mechanical runs. The seamless design also makes it well-suited for high-pressure or high-purity service lines where weld-zone integrity could be a concern. Shops and field crews that fabricate custom tubing assemblies will find the 6-to-7-foot stock length workable for a wide range of cut-to-size jobs.

Key Features

• Seamless construction provides uniform wall thickness and eliminates weld-seam vulnerabilities
• 316 stainless steel alloy offers enhanced resistance to chlorides and corrosive media compared to 304 grade
• 2-inch outside diameter with 0.035-inch wall thickness for lightweight, thin-wall tubing applications
• 1.930-inch inside diameter maintains consistent flow path geometry
• 6-to-7-foot length range accommodates cut-to-size fabrication needs
• Weighs approximately 5.14 pounds per piece, keeping handling manageable for single-person installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock material for industrial and mechanical systems requiring seamless 316 stainless steel tubing with a 2-inch outside diameter and 0.035-inch wall thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pipefitters or industrial maintenance technicians familiar with stainless steel tubing fabrication. Use tube cutters or abrasive cutoff tools rated for stainless steel to avoid work-hardening the cut edge; deburr and clean all cut ends before assembly. Isolate and depressurize any connected system before removing or installing tubing sections. Refer to applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping or relevant facility standards when determining support spacing, joint type, and pressure rating for the finished assembly.
