Finding hollow brass tubing that's dimensionally accurate enough for precision work — and available in the exact wall thickness you need — is harder than it should be. Whether you're a hobbyist building scale models, a tradesperson fabricating custom fittings, or a DIYer replacing worn bushings and spacers, this brass round tube gives you a reliable, machinable starting point without ordering from an industrial supplier.
Each piece is a solid-wall brass round tube, 300mm (≈11.8") long, available in outer diameters from 15mm (≈0.59") to 80mm (≈3.15") and wall thicknesses of 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, and 5mm. The inner diameter is determined by the OD minus twice the wall thickness — all combinations are listed clearly in the variant selector. Material is brass (copper-zinc alloy), with a natural bright finish.
Typical applications include custom lamp post and chandelier stems, model engineering and clockwork frames, plumbing stub-outs and compression fitting adapters, bearing spacers and shaft sleeves in light machinery, and decorative architectural metalwork. The 300mm length suits bench-cut projects and fits standard hobby lathes for further turning or threading.

Measure the bore or shaft you need to fit around, then add twice the wall thickness to get the outer diameter. For example, if you need a 20mm bore with a 2mm wall, select OD 24mm × ID 20mm. Wall thickness affects both strength and weight — thicker walls (3–5mm) are generally better for structural or load-bearing applications, while thinner walls (1–1.5mm) suit lightweight decorative or model-making uses.
In imperial terms: 25mm ≈ 1", 50mm ≈ 2", 75mm ≈ 3".
Brass round tube typically offers good compressive and tensile strength for general-purpose use. Exact load capacity depends on wall thickness, outer diameter, and application. Thicker-walled variants (3–5mm) are generally suitable for moderate structural loads. For high-pressure fluid systems, please consult an engineer and confirm ratings with us before ordering.
Brass has inherent corrosion resistance and performs well in moist or humid environments. It is generally suitable for indoor plumbing, marine decorative applications, and light outdoor use. For prolonged saltwater or chemical exposure, a protective lacquer or sealant coating is recommended.
These are metric-dimensioned brass round tubes. Compatibility with standard plumbing fittings depends on the specific OD and wall thickness selected. In most cases they can be used with compression fittings sized to match the OD. For threaded connections, the tube would typically need to be machined or fitted with an appropriate adapter. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific fitting.
Yes. Brass is one of the most machinable metals available. These tubes can generally be cut with a pipe cutter or hacksaw, drilled, tapped, soldered, and turned on a lathe. The material machines cleanly with minimal burring, making it a popular choice for precision model making and custom fabrication projects.
For decorative or lightweight applications (lamp stands, model frames), 1–1.5mm wall thickness is typically sufficient. For structural spacers, bushings, or moderate load-bearing uses, 2–2.5mm is generally recommended. For heavy-duty applications or where significant wall material is needed for threading or machining, choose 3mm or 5mm wall thickness.
Each tube is 300mm (approximately 11.8") long. This is a fixed length for all variants in this listing. If you need a different length, please contact us — custom lengths may be available.
