About Galvanised Tube and BS 1387 Sizes

This tube is hot-dip galvanised for long-term corrosion resistance and is manufactured to the outside-diameter sizes set out in BS 1387 (now superseded by EN 10255), the long-established British standard for steel tube used in water, gas, fencing and structural applications. The standard's nominal sizes correspond to outside diameters such as 21.3mm (1/2"), 26.9mm (3/4"), 33.7mm (1"), 42.4mm (1.1/4") and 48.3mm (1.1/2"). The A to F letters used here are size references; the wall thickness of each option is given in the table.

Common Uses

Fencing and gate frames, handrails and barriers, agricultural and equestrian structures, scaffolding-style frameworks, posts and supports, and general galvanised fabrication.

They are size reference designations for the tube's outside diameter (for example A = 26.9mm, B = 33.7mm, C = 42.4mm). The wall thickness of each option is listed separately in the size table, as some diameters are available in more than one wall.

What standard is the tube made to?
It is hot-dip galvanised steel tube manufactured to the outside-diameter sizes of BS 1387 (now EN 10255), the established British standard for steel tube used in fencing, structural and fluid applications.

What length is the tube?
Tube is supplied in lengths of approximately 6.5m. Cut to size is available on request - contact us before ordering with your required lengths.
