DESCRIPTION

Description:
A500 steel rectangular tubing is manufactured from formed carbon steel and produced to ASTM A500 specifications for structural applications. The 1/2″ x 1-1/2″ rectangular profile with a 16-gauge (0.063″) wall thickness provides a lightweight yet rigid solution suitable for light-duty structural and fabrication needs. This tubing offers consistent dimensions, good strength-to-weight performance, and reliable weldability, making it a practical choice for both commercial and industrial projects.

Applications:
A500 rectangular steel tubing is commonly used in light structural and fabrication applications, including:
• Equipment frames and supports
• Light-duty structural bracing
• Shelving, racks, and storage systems
• Handrails and guard components
• Furniture and display fabrication
• General-purpose metal fabrication projects

Advantages:
• Strong and reliable: Manufactured to ASTM A500 standards for consistent quality
• Lightweight: 16-gauge wall thickness provides strength without excessive weight
• Versatile fabrication: Easily welded, cut, drilled, and formed
• Dimensional stability: Rectangular profile offers improved rigidity and load distribution
• Cost-effective: Economical option for light structural applications

Summary:
The 1/2″ x 1-1/2″ x 16GA (.063″) A500 steel rectangular tubing is a lightweight, versatile, and dependable material ideal for light-duty structural, framing, and fabrication applications where strength, precision, and ease of fabrication are required.

* Prices are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in the metals market. | All “Value Length” and “Value Pack” item measurements are subject to standard mill tolerances. | Products may be manufactured several thousandths of an inch over or under the stated dimensions and still be within acceptable mill tolerances. All bar, tube, structural, pipe, sheet, plate, and similar products sold on our website are custom cut to the lengths and sizes selected by the customer at the time of purchase. These are not stocked as pre-cut items. Because each order is cut specifically to customer specifications, all cut materials are considered custom products and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or exchange once production has begun. Our standard cutting tolerances are:

  • Length: +0.125″ / -0.062″
  • During the cutting process, the saw blade removes approximately 1/16″ (kerf) of material. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is already included within the stated cutting tolerances.
