Product Information

Full details

The GeZu Impex 27 mm x 1600 mm Steel Tube is a heavy-duty structural component designed for builders, DIY enthusiasts, and fabricators who require a reliable foundation for handrails, furniture, and industrial framing. Crafted from high-quality S235-grade steel with a protective hot-dip galvanised coating, it offers exceptional durability and rust resistance for both indoor and outdoor environments. While it provides excellent structural integrity, users should note that the 1600 mm length is rigid and requires appropriate tools for custom cutting or welding to meet specific project dimensions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this tube be used outdoors?

Yes, the hot-dip galvanised coating provides excellent protection against the elements, making it suitable for outdoor use.

What is the wall thickness of this tube?

This tube uses S235-grade steel designed for standard industrial applications; please refer to the specific fitting requirements of your project to ensure compatibility.

Can I weld this steel?

Yes, this tube is compatible with standard welding procedures, though you must remove the galvanised coating in the area immediately surrounding the weld for safety and quality.

Is this tube hollow?

Yes, this is a hollow steel tube designed for structural framework and furniture construction.

Are mounting screws included?

No, this product is the steel tube only. Mounting brackets and clamps must be sourced separately based on your specific application.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty fitting the tube into existing clamps

Verify that your clamps are specifically designed for a 27 mm nominal outer diameter. If the coating is slightly thick, use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the connection point.

Rust appearing at the cut edges

Once a tube is cut, the raw steel is exposed. Always treat cut ends with a cold-galvanising spray or rust-inhibiting paint to prevent oxidation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance due to hot-dip galvanising
  • Compatible with a wide range of standard tube clamps
  • High-grade S235 steel ensures long-term structural stability
  • Suitable for both aesthetic furniture building and industrial scaffolding
  • Easy to modify through drilling, welding, or cutting

Cons

  • Heavy weight requires careful handling during installation
  • Requires metal-specific tools for resizing
  • Not intended for flexible or bending applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate this tube into your project, ensure you are using compatible 27 mm fittings or tube clamps. If you need to cut the tube, use an angle grinder or a metal-cutting saw, and always apply a zinc-rich spray to the cut end to maintain corrosion protection. While the galvanised layer is highly durable, avoid using harsh acidic cleaners that might compromise the finish. For installation, ensure your mounting surfaces are level to prevent unnecessary stress on the joints. Regularly inspect connections if the tube is used for dynamic furniture, such as adjustable workstations, and tighten fittings as needed.
