Kedla Aluminium Round Tube EX-R53 20.3 mm 2.5 m

Visually Substantial Tube for Decorative and Lightweight Projects

 

The Kedla Aluminium Round Tube (Profile EX-R53) is designed for applications where a larger diameter is needed for visual impact, but weight and ease of cutting are still important. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this tube features a noticeable Outer Diameter (OD) of 19.05 mm (exactly 3/4 inch) and a relatively thin 0.89 mm wall thickness. This combination creates an aesthetically substantial profile that is surprisingly lightweight and highly manageable.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this tube is easy to transport while allowing for long, clean runs. Crafted from high-quality aluminium (Alloy 6063-T6), it boasts excellent natural corrosion resistance, making it a durable choice for visible decorative elements, room dividers, and large-scale screens in both indoor and outdoor settings. It is competitively priced and highly valued for projects demanding a clean, wide-diameter finish.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this 0.89 mm wall tube suitable for structural support?

   • No. Due to the thin wall, this tube has low load-bearing capacity and is best suited for decorative, screening, and light framing applications only. For structural use, a wall thickness of 1.22 mm or greater is required.

2. What is the Inner Diameter (ID) of the tube?

   • The Inner Diameter (ID) is calculated as Outer Diameter minus twice the Wall Thickness. Therefore, 19.05 mm minus (2 x 0.89 mm) equals 17.27 mm.

3. Can I easily join sections of this tube together?

   • Yes. You can use standard proprietary internal tube joiners designed for the 19.05mm OD, or by inserting a small, snugly fitting piece of wood dowel or smaller tubing into the ID for support before bonding.
