Acrylic Tube, Round, Extruded - Clear

Extruded acrylic round tube is a clear, dimensionally consistent tube for display, lighting and fabrication work. Extruded rather than cast, it holds tight wall and diameter tolerances through long runs, which matters when tubes have to telescope, seat into a fitting, or line up in a row. It cuts, drills and cements with ordinary acrylic solvent cement, and flame-polishes to a clear edge. Stock runs from 1/8" through 13 3/4" inside diameter in wall thicknesses from 1/16" up to 1/2", including a heavy-wall range for structural and machined parts.

Thin-wall sizes suit lightweight display cylinders, sign and lighting diffusers, protective sleeves and model work; the 1/4" and 1/2" heavy walls take the load in riser columns, spacers, machined bushings and anything that will be tapped or bolted. Acrylic is not recommended for continuous contact with strong solvents, and tube should be annealed before heavy machining to relieve extrusion stress. Sold by the foot and cut to your specified length, which saves both material and shop time.
