2″ x 4″ x .188″wall Steel Rectangular Tube A500

A500 steel rectangular tubing is a structural-grade carbon steel product manufactured to ASTM A500 specifications for high strength, durability, and consistent performance. The 2″ x 4″ x 7 gauge (.188″) steel rectangular tube features a heavy-wall hollow structural section (HSS) designed for high load-bearing and demanding structural applications. Its larger rectangular profile provides excellent rigidity, stability, and resistance to bending under stress. This material has a raw, non-galvanized mill finish and may exhibit a dark surface with mill scale, typical of hot-rolled steel.

Applications:
A500 steel rectangular tubing is commonly used in heavy-duty structural and fabrication applications, including:
• Heavy structural frames and support systems
• Equipment bases and industrial machinery structures
• Trailer frames, truck beds, and transport equipment
• Construction and infrastructure projects
• Fencing, gates, and safety barriers
• Custom fabrication requiring high strength and rigidity

Advantages:
• High strength: .188″ wall thickness provides strong load-bearing capability
• Large profile: 2″ x 4″ section improves structural stability and rigidity
• Weldable: Suitable for MIG, TIG, and stick welding
• Machinable: Can be cut, drilled, and fabricated with proper equipment
• Consistent dimensions: Uniform shape for precise structural applications
• Durable performance: Designed for demanding industrial use

Summary:
The 2″ x 4″ x 7 gauge (.188″) A500 steel rectangular tube is a heavy-duty structural material built for strength, stability, and reliability. Its thick wall construction and larger profile make it an excellent choice for demanding fabrication, construction, and industrial applications.
