What Are Tube Randoms?​

Tube Randoms are tubes in our inventory of random sizes, random quantities, and random lengths. These tubes are typically drops off previous jobs, the balance of unused tubes when a mill minimum is ordered for a job, or contigency left over from a previious job. This material is not shown in our stock due to variance in our cost compared to our stock. This is a good place to look when you need short lengths or small quantities.
