Buying Guide

Choose the right material

Pick 316L stainless for higher corrosion resistance or 304 stainless for general-purpose durability; brass is suitable for decorative or low-corrosion applications

Match connection and fitting type

For sanitary systems, use tri-clamp spool tubes; for structural or routed runs consider welded tubing that accepts industry fittings

Check dimensional specs

Confirm outer diameter and wall thickness (e.g., 3/8" OD with 0.014" wall) to ensure strength and flow characteristics match your design

Consider length and modularity

Longer pre-cut lengths reduce joins—look for available lengths like 24–36 inches or short spools when frequent fittings are needed

Assess finish and sanitary requirements

Polished sanitary spool tubing and smooth internal finishes minimize contamination risk in food, beverage, and lab systems
