Whether you are building a scale model, fabricating a custom bracket, repairing a plumbing fitting, or crafting a decorative piece, finding hollow brass tubing in the exact wall thickness you need can be frustrating. Generic hardware store stock rarely covers the full range of outer-to-inner diameter combinations that engineers, hobbyists, and makers actually require.
Each piece is a solid-drawn brass round tube, 500mm (≈19.7") in length, available in outer diameters from 13mm (≈1/2") to 40mm (≈1-9/16") and inner diameters from 5mm to 30mm. Wall thickness varies by variant — calculated as (OD − ID) ÷ 2 — ranging from approximately 1mm to 7mm depending on the combination selected. Sold individually (1 Pcs per order).
Typical applications include scale model making and hobby craft frames, DIY furniture leg inserts and rail joiners, light engineering spacers and bushings, and decorative metalwork projects where a clean brass finish is required. The 500mm length suits most bench-cut hobby and craft applications without excess waste.

Measure the shaft, rod, or opening your tube needs to fit over or inside. The inner diameter (ID) should clear your insert with a small tolerance — typically 0.1–0.5mm of play. The outer diameter (OD) determines the tube's visible profile and wall thickness. Wall thickness = (OD − ID) ÷ 2. For example, a 20mm OD × 10mm ID tube has a 5mm wall. For inch reference: 25mm ≈ 1", 19mm ≈ 3/4".
For decorative or lightweight hobby applications, thinner walls (typically 1–3mm) are generally sufficient. For structural or load-bearing use, a thicker wall — typically 4mm or more — provides greater rigidity and resistance to bending. Brass tubing is generally suited to moderate loads; for heavy structural applications, consult a qualified engineer.
Brass is naturally corrosion-resistant and performs well in moist or humid indoor conditions. Outdoors, it will develop a natural patina over time. For prolonged outdoor exposure, applying a clear lacquer or metal sealant is generally recommended to maintain the original appearance and slow patina development.
These are plain, unthreaded round tubes. They are generally compatible with standard metric compression fittings, push-fit connectors, and slip-fit couplings sized to match the OD. For threaded connections, a separate threaded fitting or coupling would be required. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific fitting or application.
Yes. Brass cuts cleanly with a pipe cutter, hacksaw, or fine-tooth metal saw. A pipe cutter generally produces the cleanest, squarest cut with minimal burring. Deburr the cut end with a file or deburring tool before use to avoid sharp edges and ensure a clean fit.
For scale model making, sizes in the 13–20mm OD range with thin walls (1–3mm) are most commonly used. For structural hobby frames or larger craft builds, 22–32mm OD tubes with medium walls are generally preferred. Select the OD × ID combination that matches your design drawings or the rod/shaft you are fitting around.
Each order is for 1 piece (1 Pcs) of brass round tube, 500mm (≈19.7") in length. If you need multiple pieces, simply increase the quantity at checkout. Select your required OD × ID combination from the variant options above before adding to cart.
