Their printed catalogs are worth their weight in gold if you can get one,
better go online and learn about tubing and pipe and just about anything
else
you need. No minimum orders, fast shipping from all over the usa.

Anyone know how aluminum pipe sizes work? Is there some kind of
industry standard that manufacturers follow and you can look up (for
finding wall thickness, telecoping lengths, etc)?

I've seen a couple of tables with specifications, however those seem
to always jump from 1/2" to 3/4" to 1"... at my local hardware store I
can get the 1/8"'s sizes in between (3/8, 5/8, 7/8, etc) which has me
confused. Are those 1/8" based sizes standard, or some kind of non
standard product?
