The decimal value for any fraction is the top number divided by the bottom
number. 7 divided by 16 is .4375. neither 3/8" or 1/2" tubing will work for
that.
In over 15 years of selling aluminum tubing, the only user of 7/16" tubing
I have seen is Hygain, for their element tips. So, you might give them a
call and get pricing on their 7/16 inch material.
7/8" tubing is .875 decimal; plenty of that available. The usual wall
thickness is .058 inches to allow telescoping of adjacent sizes.

Hi Everyone,
I am missing one part of my TH-7 10M Director...I see that
DX-engineering/Texas Towers has the tubing parts, but the size is what I am
not sure of.
The TH-7 manual says it's 53" of 7/8" tubing for D1 and 43.5" of 7/16" for
D2, but dx-engineering/TX-twrs uses decimal points not fractions...so,
anyone know which one would be equivilent and is the manual talking about O.D,
or Wall or what? Probably O.D.
Thanks,
Daniel N9WX
