Zoro Select 87117 Welded Stainless Steel Tubing 5/16" OD 1 ft

SKU CH-FPHT-DSSW2

Welded stainless-steel tubing with a 5/16 in. outside diameter and 0.26 in. inside diameter for fluid or gas lines

  • Welded stainless construction resists corrosion
  • 35,000 psi rating handles high-pressure systems
  • 26 in inside diameter fits 5/16 in OD fittings
  • 22 ga wall thickness balances strength and flow
  • ASTM A269 standard ensures material quality

Tubing for High-Pressure Fabrication

This welded stainless steel tubing is built for fluid-handling systems that demand corrosion resistance and structural integrity. It suits engineers and fabricators assembling custom hydraulic or pneumatic lines where a 5/16 inch outside diameter fits the design envelope. The ASTM A269 standard confirms the material quality for general service applications.

Simple Cut-and-Fit Installation

The one-foot straight length requires no special tools beyond a tubing cutter and deburring tool to prepare clean ends for flare or compression fittings. Because the seam is welded, the wall thickness is uniform at 22 gauge, reducing the risk of leaks at the joint. The main error is over-tightening fittings on the 0.26 inch inside diameter, which can deform the thin wall and compromise the seal.

35,000 psi Pressure Rating Decides Suitability

The maximum operating pressure of 35,000 psi is the single figure that determines whether this tube matches your system requirements. If your circuit operates above this limit, the tubing is not appropriate and a heavier-wall alternative must be sourced. For systems staying within the rating, the stainless construction delivers reliable containment.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the tubing meets the ASTM A269 standard after installation?

The tubing is manufactured to ASTM A269 specification; visual inspection of the welded seam and dimensional checks of the .26 in inside diameter and 22 ga wall thickness confirm conformance.

What components are included with the 1 ft length and what must be sourced separately?

The package contains the 1 ft welded stainless steel tube with 5/16 in outside diameter; fittings, clamps, or cutting tools are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which version should I choose for a system requiring 35,000 psi maximum operating pressure?

This 87117 model is rated for 35,000 psi maximum operating pressure, making it the correct choice for applications at that pressure level.
