Whether you're building a custom hydraulic manifold, fabricating a bearing sleeve, or replacing a worn bushing on a piece of equipment, finding a seamless brass round tube in exactly the right OD-to-ID ratio is often the hardest part of the job. Off-the-shelf thin-wall tubing flexes under load; oversized stock wastes hours on the lathe. This listing solves that problem with 57 precisely drawn size combinations — all in one place.
Each tube is drawn from seamless brass stock (C360-equivalent free-machining alloy) with a thick wall construction. Sizes span OD 13mm (≈ 1/2") to OD 35mm (≈ 1-3/8"), with inner diameters ranging from 5mm to 27mm depending on the OD selected. Every piece is cut to 500mm (≈ 19.7") in length. Select your exact OD × ID combination from the variant dropdown above.
Typical use cases include: precision bushing and sleeve fabrication for machinery repair, standoff and spacer stock for custom metal fabrication, fluid-line and pneumatic tubing in workshop plumbing systems, and decorative or structural tube work in furniture and architectural metalwork where a warm brass finish is desired.

Measure the shaft, rod, or fitting that must pass through the tube — that gives you the minimum inner diameter (ID) you need. Then choose an outer diameter (OD) that fits your housing or clearance requirement. As a general rule, wall thickness = (OD − ID) ÷ 2. For example, a 20mm OD × 14mm ID tube has a 3mm wall on each side (≈ 0.118" per side). All sizes on this page are listed as OD × ID × Length in millimeters.
C360 free-machining brass typically has a tensile strength of 49,000–68,000 psi (338–469 MPa) depending on temper. Exact alloy and temper are not specified for this listing; if your application has strict load requirements, please contact us to confirm before ordering.
Brass generally offers good corrosion resistance in fresh water and mild atmospheric conditions. It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to salt water, ammonia, or strong acids without a protective coating. For marine or highly corrosive environments, consider stainless steel alternatives.
These are metric-dimensioned tubes (OD and ID in millimeters). They are generally compatible with metric compression fittings, metric push-fit connectors, and metric machined parts. They are not designed to match imperial pipe thread standards (NPT/BSP) directly — check your fitting's bore size against the tube OD before ordering.
Yes. Brass is one of the most machinable metals available. These seamless tubes can be cut with a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or miter saw (non-ferrous blade), and can be drilled, tapped, or turned on a lathe with standard HSS or carbide tooling. Deburr cut ends before assembly.
For structural or load-bearing use, a thicker wall (smaller ID relative to OD) provides greater rigidity and crush resistance. As a starting point, a wall thickness of at least 10–15% of the OD is generally considered robust for light structural duty. For critical applications, consult an engineer and confirm the exact alloy specification with us.
Each tube is 500mm (≈ 19.7") long as listed. Custom lengths are not available through this listing. If you need a different length, contact us before ordering and we will advise on availability.
