Every key clamp fitting is made for one tube size, so the size number on the fitting code matches the tube: an A2-7 short tee fits size 7 (42.4mm) tube. Standard lengths are 6.4m, 3.2m, 2.4m, 2.13m and 1.6m, and we cut any of them to your finished lengths free.
Features
- Cut to length free. Send the size, the finished length of each piece and how many of each, and we cut the tube before it leaves. No cutting on site and less waste.
- Matches the fittings. Order tube and fittings against the same size number and they fit together.
