Description

APC XC1105 8″ Diameter Tube, 40′- 0″, .072

The APC XC1105 8″ Diameter Tube represents a high-quality structural and mechanical tubing solution engineered for applications that demand strength, precision, and consistent dimensional stability over extended lengths. Designed with a nominal wall thickness of 0.072 inches, this tube is suitable for use across a broad range of industries including construction, manufacturing, material handling, agricultural equipment, automotive fabrications, and specialty industrial frameworks. The lengthy 40-foot configuration provides exceptional uninterrupted span capability, making it a preferred choice for systems requiring long, continuous runs with minimal joints or connection points.

Constructed from reliable and performance-oriented materials, the XC1105 tube offers an ideal balance between lightweight handling and robust mechanical durability. The 8″ outer diameter lends itself well to both structural and conduit-type uses, offering ample internal volume when deployed for housing wiring, cables, pneumatic lines, or hydraulic systems, while still maintaining enough rigidity for load-bearing, bracing, or framework integration. Engineers, fabricators, and installers appreciate the tube’s predictable performance characteristics, which allow it to be machined, welded, cut, drilled, or formed with ease, depending on project specifications.

One of the standout aspects of this tubing is its ability to maintain straightness and stability across the entire 40-foot span. This is particularly valuable in applications where precision alignment is critical, such as support beams, mechanical assemblies, conveyor systems, scaffolding elements, water transport systems, or horizontal structural members. The consistent wall thickness of .072″ ensures symmetrical behavior under stress, reducing deformation and helping maintain uniformity in load distribution.

The APC XC1105 tube also excels in environments where durability and longevity are key priorities. Its composition supports resistance to bending fatigue, vibration, and moderate environmental impacts, making it suitable for both indoor and controlled outdoor applications. Fabricators can rely on its compatibility with common surface treatments including painting, powder coating, galvanizing, and anodizing (depending on material type), allowing the tube to be customized and protected based on environmental exposure and aesthetic requirements.

From a manufacturing and construction perspective, the lightweight yet sturdy profile allows for easier handling and installation. The tube can be transported, lifted, and positioned with fewer resources compared to heavier structural components, yet still provides excellent rigidity for structural integrity. Its diameter and length make it suitable for projects involving span coverage, multi-section frameworks, pipe supports, mechanical rail systems, industrial racks, or architectural enhancements. Whether utilized in heavy industrial operations or creative engineering layouts, the XC1105 tube serves as a multi-purpose, versatile component that adapts easily to diverse fabrication requirements.

Automatic Pool Covers, Inc. took its first steps into the industry in 1979 as a small pool cover distributor. They continued to grow exponentially into the millennium, becoming a leader of the cover distributor industry. As continued to grow, they began to use their vast knowledge of the industry to develop and experiment with their own designs with the hope of making the most efficient, convenient and sturdy product.
