Aluminum Tubing

[Harold Brantley]

I am making some low pressure (50 psi) wands and I need a source for some 1/4" aluminum tubing. I will cut and thread them 3 to 4 feet long. Stainless steel is too heavy, but nylon, pvc or polypropylene would work if fairly rigid. None of my resources can help. Do any of you have some power wash distributors that have this in their catalogs? Need contact information? Thanks.

Mr. Brantley,

I'm not real sure how much you need, but you might try
http://www.texastowers.com or http://www.force-efi.com
I hope this will help, but if not, I will try to find some here
in the Central Texas area.
Let me know how much you need and the price your hoping for and I will start looking and making some phone calls.
You can contact me at badge@vvm.com or robinsons_mpw@vvm.com.

Harold,
There is an ad in the classified section of Cleaner Times mag. every month for aluminum 1/4 inch tubing cut to length and threaded on each end. Not sure about pricing, here is their #,
1-800-874-0607. The ad says schedule 80 which should be rigid enough.

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm going to check out Glenns' lead first since they cut to length and thread. I'll follow up on the others as needed. I don't need a lot, probably 4 three footers and 4 four footers to start. Thanks to all again. This is where this board is more than worth $50.00 a year.

Harold,

Glenn, I've ordered several 3 & 4 foot pieces from the company you mentioned in Cleaner Times. Should have them in a day or so. They were $3.00 per foot threaded. They are located in south Florida and said they have lots of power washing supplies so they are sending me a catalog. Thanks again for your help.
