CARBON STEEL SYSTEM TUBE
Carbon steel System tube is available 28mm 30mm 1.5mm 2.5mm
in 3m straight lengths in sizes from 15
to 54mm, also available in 6m straight 35mm 37mm 1.5mm 2.5mm
lengths in sizes from 15 to 108mm.
Plastic coated galvanised carbon steel 42mm 44mm 1.5mm 2.5mm
tube is available in straight 6 metre
lengths in sizes 15 to 54mm. Galvanised 54mm 56mm 1.5mm 2.5mm
carbon steel System tube is manufactured
in accordance with EN10305-3 from 66.7mm – 1.5mm –
material with a very low carbon content
and has a thin walled profile resulting in a
lightweight easier to handle product. 76.1mm – 2.0mm –
The galvanised coating (external only) 88.9mm – 2.0mm –
has a minimum thickness of 7 microns
and is thermally applied which provides
a superior bond to the tube and further 108mm – 2.0mm –
resistance to corrosion.
XPress Carbon fittings can be used
with our SC640 galvanised carbon steel
System tube or our SC660 plastic coated
carbon steel System tube.
Carbon tube and fittings should not be
installed and exposed to the elements.
Prior to installation, XPress tube and
fittings should be stored and protected
under a protective cover. For exposed
pipework consider XPress stainless steel.
