Value Collection SC01412949 316 Ss Seamless Tube 3/8 in Od 6 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC01412949 is a seamless 316 stainless steel tube intended for use in fluid transfer, instrumentation, and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision are required. It measures 6 feet in length with a 3/8 inch outside diameter, a 0.049 inch wall thickness, and a 0.277 inch inside diameter. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, which reduces potential weak points under pressure cycling. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors typically work with this tube type in both commercial and industrial applications.

This tube is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration lines, instrumentation tubing runs, hydraulic pilot lines, and general process piping where 316 stainless steel is specified. The 316 alloy provides enhanced resistance to chlorides and acidic environments compared to 304 grade, making it a common choice in coastal installations, chemical handling environments, and food-service or sanitary process systems. Each unit ships as a single 6-foot length.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for uniform wall thickness and improved pressure integrity
• 316 stainless steel alloy for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• 3/8 inch OD with 0.049 inch wall thickness suits standard compression and flare fittings
• 0.277 inch inside diameter provides consistent flow area
• 6-foot length allows direct use or cut-to-length field fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a standard seamless 316 stainless steel tube compatible with compression fittings, flare fittings, and tube unions sized for 3/8 inch OD tubing in instrumentation, refrigeration, and process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of stainless steel tubing should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician familiar with the system pressure and fluid type. Isolate and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Use appropriate tube cutters rated for stainless steel to avoid work-hardening the cut edge, and deburr the ID after each cut. Refer to applicable codes such as ASME B31.1, B31.3, or local mechanical codes for pressure piping requirements.
