HPS 12 gauge 4.5" Aluminum Straight Tube in 3 Feet Length is commonly used in industrial, automotive, marine, and aerospace industries.
It is great for custom fabrication projects such as DIY air intake, cooling systems, and turbo intercooler piping setups because 6061 aluminum is the most popular and versatile alloy, being the least expensive of the heat treatable aluminum alloys.
HPS aluminum round tubing is sold in the T6 condition, which is ideal for sawing, machining, sanding, and polishing.
The aluminum pipe can be polished, but due to the softness of the aluminum, care must be taken not to remove too much material, especially near any welds.
All aluminum joiners sold by HPS are made in the USA.
