Allstar Steel Tubing 1in x 2in Rectangle 7.5ft

Description

Product Overview

Allstar Performance brings a meticulously engineered steel tubing solution designed for professionals and serious hobbyists alike. Constructed from high‑grade carbon steel, this rectangular tube measures 1 inch by 2 inches with a .120‑inch wall thickness, delivering a robust cross‑section that resists bending, twisting, and fatigue under heavy loads. The chrome‑plated exterior not only adds a sleek, reflective finish but also provides an extra layer of protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasive environments, extending the service life of the component in harsh industrial settings.

The tube’s 7.5‑foot (90‑inch) length and a net weight of 15.8 pounds strike a balance between manageability and structural integrity, making it easy to handle during fabrication while still offering the mass needed for stability in load‑bearing applications. Precise tolerances are maintained throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that each piece conforms to the exact dimensions specified, which is critical for projects that demand tight fit‑ups, such as frame construction, custom rigging, and precision‑engineered assemblies. The product’s UPC 848238095272 and model number ALL22183‑7 provide clear traceability for inventory control and warranty support.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this steel tubing excels in a wide range of applications. In industrial environments, it serves as a foundational element for machine frames, conveyor supports, and safety cages where rigidity and durability are paramount. Its rectangular profile offers flat mounting surfaces that simplify the attachment of brackets, plates, and other hardware, reducing the need for additional machining and saving valuable time on the shop floor.

For the DIY community, the tube is an ideal candidate for custom furniture, outdoor structures, and artistic installations. Its chrome finish not only resists rust but also provides an aesthetic appeal that complements modern design aesthetics. Whether you are building a sturdy workbench, a lightweight bike frame, or a decorative sculpture, the tube’s consistent wall thickness ensures uniform strength throughout, allowing creators to push design boundaries without compromising safety. The tube’s manageable weight makes it suitable for projects that require frequent repositioning or modular assembly.

FAQ

What is the recommended welding method for this steel tubing?

The tube’s carbon‑steel composition is compatible with MIG, TIG, and stick welding. For the best results, use a filler rod that matches the base material and pre‑heat the joint if the ambient temperature is below 40 °F to avoid cracking.

Can the chrome finish be painted or coated?

Yes, the chrome surface can be painted after proper surface preparation. Lightly sand the area to remove any gloss, clean with a solvent‑based degreaser, and apply a primer designed for metal before using your chosen topcoat.

Is this tubing suitable for outdoor structural applications?

Absolutely. The chrome plating provides excellent protection against moisture and UV exposure, making the tube ideal for outdoor frames, pergolas, and other structures that must endure the elements while maintaining structural integrity.

How does the tube compare to a round steel tube of similar dimensions?

Rectangular tubing offers flat mounting surfaces that simplify the attachment of brackets and plates, reducing the need for additional machining. While round tubes may have slightly higher torsional strength, the rectangular shape provides superior stability for load‑bearing frames where flat surfaces are advantageous.
