Value Collection 98319 Stainless Steel Tube 1-1/4 Od 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 98319 is a welded 316 stainless steel tube designed for industrial, mechanical, and fluid-handling applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are required. With a 1-1/4 inch outside diameter, a 0.049 inch wall thickness, and an inside diameter of 1.152 inches, this tube provides a consistent bore suitable for fluid transfer, structural framing, and fabrication work. The 316-grade stainless alloy offers elevated resistance to chlorides and acidic environments compared to standard 304 alloys. Length ranges from 6 to 7 feet, making it a practical choice for cut-to-fit installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC fabricators, and general contractors routinely work with this tube type across a wide range of service conditions.

This tube is suited for both residential and commercial applications where a medium-diameter stainless steel tube is required. Common uses include sanitary piping, heat exchanger fabrication, structural supports, chemical transfer lines, and architectural metalwork. The welded construction makes it appropriate for low-to-moderate pressure service where seamless construction is not specified. The 6 to 7 foot length range accommodates most standard cut-and-fit fabrication jobs without significant material waste.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• 1-1/4 inch outside diameter with 0.049 inch wall thickness for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Inside diameter of 1.152 inches provides reliable bore sizing for flow calculations
• Welded tube construction suitable for low-to-moderate pressure fabrication and fluid transfer
• 6 to 7 foot length accommodates cut-to-fit installations with minimal waste

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-1/4 inch OD welded 316 stainless steel tube for use in mechanical, plumbing, and fabrication assemblies requiring corrosion-resistant tubing in this size range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or fabricator familiar with stainless steel tube handling and applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or IPC. Always cut using a blade rated for stainless steel and deburr cut ends thoroughly before fitting or welding. Discontinue flow and depressurize any connected system before modifying or replacing tube sections. Avoid contact between 316 stainless and dissimilar metals in wet environments without proper isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
