Finding a brass round tube in exactly the right diameter shouldn't mean sifting through bulk industrial catalogs. Whether you're a hobbyist building a model, a tradesperson fabricating a custom fitting, or a maker working on a furniture or lamp project, having the right hollow brass tube on hand makes all the difference. This listing offers 31 carefully sized variants so you can match the exact OD and ID your project demands.
Each tube is machined from solid brass stock and measures 500mm (≈19.7") in length with a fixed 2mm wall thickness. Outer diameters range from 6mm (≈1/4") to 45mm (≈1-3/4"), with inner diameters always equal to OD minus 4mm — for example, the 10mm OD variant has a 6mm ID, and the 25mm OD variant has a 21mm ID. All sizes are sold individually per piece.
Typical use cases include decorative railing inserts and balusters, model engineering and scale fabrication, custom lamp and furniture hardware, fluid-line prototyping, and sleeve bushings for light mechanical assemblies — all applications where a metric brass hollow tube with consistent wall thickness is essential.

Measure the outer diameter (OD) of the space or fitting you need to fill, then subtract twice the wall thickness (2mm) to get the inner diameter (ID). For example, if you need an ID of 6mm, select the 8mm × 4mm variant. All variants in this listing have a fixed 2mm wall thickness, so the formula is always: ID = OD − 4mm.
Because wall thickness is fixed at 2mm, the ID is always OD minus 4mm. A few examples: OD 10mm → ID 6mm (≈0.24"); OD 20mm → ID 16mm (≈0.63"); OD 40mm → ID 36mm (≈1.42"). Each variant label in the size selector shows both OD and ID clearly.
A 2mm wall brass tube is generally suitable for light-to-medium structural, decorative, and fluid-carrying applications. Exact load capacity depends on the OD, alloy grade, and how the tube is supported. For high-pressure or heavy structural use, we recommend consulting a mechanical engineer and specifying a certified alloy grade.
Brass has naturally good corrosion resistance and performs well in most outdoor environments. In highly saline coastal areas or acidic conditions, a clear lacquer or protective coating is generally recommended to extend service life and maintain appearance.
These tubes use metric OD dimensions. In most cases, metric compression fittings rated for the matching OD will fit. Always verify the OD and wall thickness against your fitting specifications before ordering, as fitting tolerances vary by brand and standard (e.g., DIN, BS, or JIS).
Yes. Brass is easy to cut with a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or milling machine. It solders and brazes readily with standard flux and solder, and can be threaded, drilled, and bent with appropriate tooling. The 2mm wall provides enough material for light threading on larger OD variants.
The tubes are made from standard brass alloy (typically a copper-zinc composition). A specific certified alloy grade (e.g., C26000 / CW508L) is not confirmed for this listing. If you require a certified grade for engineering or compliance purposes, please contact us before ordering.
Each tube in this listing is 500mm (≈19.7") long. Custom lengths are not available through this listing. If you need a different length, contact us before ordering and we will advise on availability.
