Suitable for a vast range of applications, Telescoping Square Tubing saves time time and labor.
Added Versatility with Telescoping
The secret to Telescoping Square Tubing versatility is its ability to telescope, allowing smaller sizes to fit smoothly and snugly into the next larger size. This is made possible by high-speed roll forming technology with high-frequency resistance welding. This produces smooth corner welds within very close tolerances, reducing your fabrication costs.

Material Specifications
- Tubing must be Telescoping Square tubing conforming to manufacturer’s standards.
- Tubing must be corner welded by high-frequency resistance welding and externally scarfed to agree with corner radius.
- Tubing with plain finish is roll -formed from 12 or 14 gauge hot-rolled steel, ASTM A – 1011
- Grade 50, pickled and oiled. Galvanized finish, roll-formed from 12 or 14 gauge hot-rolled steel, galvanized material conforms to ASTM A – 653
- Grade 50. Average minimum yield strength after cold forming is 60,000 PSI.
Available Sizes
Telescoping Square Tubing comes in five sizes, from 1-1/2″ to 2 – 1/2″ square.
Perforated holes are 7/6″ and spaced on 1″ centers. Sections without holes are available.
Telescoping Square Tubing is galvanized per ASTM A -653 G-90, then receives a conversion coating and a clear organic topcoat to prevent rust and corrosion.
