Whether you're replacing a worn section of pipe, building a custom furniture frame, or fabricating a precision mechanical assembly, finding hollow brass tubing in the exact OD-to-ID ratio you need can be frustrating. Generic hardware store stock rarely covers the full range of wall thicknesses, leaving builders and tradespeople either over-engineering with heavier tube or compromising with thinner walls that flex under load.
Each listing covers a single 500mm (≈19.7") length of seamless brass round tube. Outer diameters range from 32mm (≈1.26") to 50mm (≈1.97"), with inside diameters and wall thicknesses clearly listed per variant — from a lightweight 1mm wall up to a robust 3mm wall. The exact OD × ID pairing is shown in the variant selector so you always know the bore before you buy.
Typical applications include decorative handrail and balustrade inserts, lamp post and lighting column fabrication, custom furniture legs and table bases, low-pressure fluid transfer lines, and precision sleeve bearings or bushing housings in light mechanical assemblies.

Start with the outer diameter (OD) that fits your application — for example, if you need a tube to slide over a 30mm rod, choose an ID slightly larger than 30mm. Wall thickness determines strength: 1mm is generally suitable for lightweight decorative or craft use, while 2–3mm is typically recommended for structural or load-bearing applications. The ID equals OD minus 2× wall thickness, and every variant lists both values so you can verify the bore before ordering.
Load capacity depends on the OD, wall thickness, and unsupported span length. Generally, thicker walls (2–3mm) provide significantly higher rigidity and compressive strength than 1mm walls. For structural or pressure-bearing applications, consult an engineer or contact us to confirm suitability for your specific load requirements.
Brass has naturally good corrosion resistance and performs well in most indoor and moderately humid outdoor environments. It is generally not recommended for prolonged submersion in saltwater or highly acidic conditions without additional protective coating. For marine or harsh outdoor use, consider applying a clear lacquer or sealant to extend service life.
These tubes use metric OD dimensions (32–50mm) and are typically compatible with metric compression fittings, push-fit connectors, and standard brass plumbing fittings sized to match. Always verify the OD and ID of your fitting against the tube variant you select. Imperial fittings may require a metric-to-imperial adapter.
Yes. Brass is a machinable alloy and can generally be cut with a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or metal-cutting bandsaw. A pipe cutter produces the cleanest, squarest cut for most DIY applications. Deburr the cut end before use. These tubes ship at 500mm (≈19.7") and can be trimmed to your required length on-site.
For decorative applications such as furniture legs, handrails, lamp posts, or craft projects, 1mm or 1.5mm wall thickness is typically sufficient and keeps weight low. For structural, load-bearing, or high-vibration applications, 2mm–3mm wall thickness is generally recommended to provide adequate rigidity and durability.
The ID is listed directly in the "Sizes (OD x ID)" variant option for every combination. For example, a 32mm OD with 1mm wall has an ID of 30mm, while a 32mm OD with 3mm wall has an ID of 26mm. Select your variant above to see the exact OD and ID before adding to cart.
