Rods & tubes questions we are asked in Timaru

Is there a minimum length for cut rod?
No. We cut to whatever length you need, from a single 50mm slug to a full three-metre length, with no handling penalty.
Which tube is right for a display or light fitting?
Clear extruded acrylic tube gives the best clarity and cost for display and diffusers. Where the tube will be knocked or loaded, polycarbonate tube is the tougher option.
Can you supply certified material?
Yes — material certificates and datasheets are available on request for engineering grades used in regulated plant.
