Mild Steel 1¼″ Round Pipe, 16 Gauge Wall Thickness

1¼″ Mild Steel Round Pipe

The Mild Steel Round Pipe provides a reliable solution for various structural and fabrication requirements in the building industry. This 1.25-inch nominal diameter hollow section offers a consistent 16-gauge wall thickness for light to medium-duty applications. It serves as a fundamental material for contractors requiring high weldability and predictable mechanical properties.

Built for the Job

Fabricators and site supervisors utilize this specific hollow profile for a wide range of metalwork projects. The 1.5mm wall thickness (16 gauge) allows for efficient welding without the risk of excessive burn-through common in thinner materials. This tubing is standard in the production of security grilles, furniture frames, and light-duty structural supports. Because the material is low-carbon steel, it remains easy to cut, bend, and join using standard workshop machinery. It is frequently seen in agricultural settings for penning and gate construction where a balance of weight and strength is necessary. The circular geometry provides equal strength in all directions, making it superior to flat bars for vertical load-bearing tasks in small-scale builds.

• Construction of perimeter fencing and industrial handrails.

• Fabrication of bespoke furniture frames and storage racking.

• General automotive and trailer frame reinforcements.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Store the steel sections in a dry environment and off the ground to prevent surface oxidation before fabrication.

• Clean the surface with a degreaser if mill oil is present before applying any protective coatings or paint.

• Use a high-quality abrasive disc or cold saw for precise mitre cuts required in frame assembly.

• For outdoor installations, ensure all weld joints are ground smooth and treated with a zinc-rich cold galvanizing spray.
