Steel Tube 1-5/8″ x .120″ x 4ft – Lane Automotive Model ALL22139-4

Description

Product Overview

The Lane Automotive 1-5/8 inch steel tube (model ALL22139-4) is engineered for strength, precision, and longevity. Constructed from high‑grade carbon steel, the tube boasts a wall thickness of .120 inches, delivering a robust cross‑section that resists bending and deformation under load. At a length of four feet, the tube provides ample reach for a wide range of applications while maintaining a manageable size for handling and storage. The surface is treated with a corrosion‑resistant coating that protects against moisture, chemicals, and environmental wear, extending the service life of the product even in harsh conditions. Dimensions of 48 x 1.63 x 1.63 inches and a weight of eight pounds make it easy to transport and install without sacrificing structural integrity. This tube meets industry standards for steel tubing, offering a reliable solution for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this steel tube excels in automotive repair, custom fabrication, and industrial projects. Mechanics can use it to reinforce chassis components, create roll cages, or fabricate exhaust brackets where high tensile strength is essential. DIY enthusiasts will appreciate its ease of cutting, welding, and drilling, allowing for custom frames, garden trellises, or sturdy shelving units. In industrial settings, the tube serves as a structural element for machinery frames, conveyor supports, and safety railings. Its corrosion‑resistant finish makes it suitable for outdoor installations, marine environments, and chemical processing areas where exposure to moisture or aggressive substances is common. The tube’s standardized diameter and length simplify inventory management, enabling quick replacement or integration into existing systems without the need for custom machining.

FAQ

What is the recommended method for cutting this steel tube?

For clean, precise cuts, we recommend using a metal cutting saw with a fine‑toothed blade or a portable band saw. Ensure the tube is securely clamped and wear appropriate safety gear. For smaller adjustments, a handheld rotary tool with a metal cutting disc can be effective.

Can this tube be welded without additional preparation?

Yes, the tube can be welded using standard MIG or TIG welding techniques. However, removing the surface coating in the weld area with a grinder or sandpaper will improve weld quality and reduce the risk of porosity. After welding, re‑apply a suitable protective coating if the joint will be exposed to corrosive conditions.

Is the tube compatible with standard pipe fittings?

The 1-5/8 inch diameter matches common pipe fitting sizes, allowing you to connect it to elbows, tees, and couplings designed for 1‑5/8 inch tubing. Always verify the fitting specifications and use appropriate sealants when installing in fluid‑handling systems.

How does the corrosion‑resistant coating perform in marine environments?

The coating is formulated to resist saltwater exposure, making the tube suitable for boat decks, dock structures, and coastal installations. While the coating provides strong protection, regular inspection and cleaning will help maintain its effectiveness over time.

What warranty does Lane Automotive offer on this steel tube?

Lane Automotive provides a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and manufacturing errors. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as accidental impact. Contact our support team for warranty claims and further assistance.
