Hello T-T'ers,
I am looking for a source from which I can purchase
aluminum tubing at a "reasonable" price. I checked with
one of the Rockford, IL steel & aluminum suppliers and
received some prices that I thought were extremely high.
I am in the process of putting together an antenna and am
in need of the following sizes and quantities of 6061-T6
alloy tubing. All sizes have a wall thickness of 0.058" and
are 12' lengths. The prices ahown are the ones that I was
quoted by the local supplier.
6 pcs. 1-1/2" OD ($3.65/ft.) $262.80
6 pcs. 1-3/8" OD ($3.30/ft.) $237.60
3 pcs. 1-1/4" OD ($3.00/ft.) $108.00
1 pc. 1" OD ($2.40/ft.) $ 28.80
4 pcs. 7/8" OD ($2.08/ft.) $ 99.84
1 pc. 3/4" OD ($1.83/ft.) $ 21.96
3 pcs. 3/8" OD ($1.42/ft.) $ 51.12
------------
Total Price $810.12
I realize that Texas Towers sells aluminum tubing but the
alloy that they sell is 6063-T832 and I am looking for
6061-T6 alloy tubing.
Thanks for any help with this.
