| Green</b>
| N/A
| Used for when creating bent pipe that has a tail less than 
170mm or a front less than 50mm
| Green essentially means additional pipe length which is used on pipes that won’t be able to be bent in the bender.
Green is also used on rolled pipes to allow the machines to roll the pipe.
|-
| Black</b>
| MD504B (Straight)

MD598B (Rolled)

MD599B (Custom Bend)
| All fabricated products
| Black is applied to any pipe that is going to be fabricated. This pipe has not yet been galvanized.
Black pipe is steel/grade C350.
|-
| Rolled 
| MD698-10 (Stainless Steel)

MD598 (HDG)

MD498.T4 (Aluminium)
| Used typically on any curved surface
Examples includes footpaths, skateparks, and silos
| Rolled pipe/tube is outsourced and not rolled by Moddex. Because of this, rolled pipe/tube has its own booklet that is 
sent to the company that’s outsourced. Rolled pipe/tube has an additional 300mm of green on both ends, this is so that 
it can be rolled. With double span TR we can use a MD201.48 as a top fitting to allow the rolled pipe to run through, as 
long as the rolled pipe doesn’t have a dramatic radius.

| Aluminium</b>
| MD404.T6 (Straight/Stanchion)

MD498.T4 (Rolled)

MD499.T4 (Custom Bend)
| Aluminium can be applied to jobs on customer request
| Aluminium pipe comes in 2 different aging processes, T6 which is used just as straight pipe, and T4 which is used for 
rolling and bending. Jobs using aluminium pipe will need to also use aluminium 300 series fittings.

| Stainless Steel</b>
| <u>TUFFRAIL</u>

MD604 (Straight)

MD698 (Rolled)

MD699 (Custom bend)

<u>Other</u>

50.8.TUBE.LENGTH (Straight) 

50.8.ROLLED.LENGTH (Rolled)

50.8.BEND.LENGTH (Custom Bend)
| Stainless Steel can be applied to jobs on customer request 
| When used with TUFFRAIL, stainless steel pipe is used at a diameter of 48.3mm 
With this size pipe, Moddex 600 series fittings are used.

When used with ASSISTRAIL, stainless steel tube is used at a diameter of 50.8mm x 1.6mm 
Stainless Steel tube will need to use custom fittings (Hammersmith) as Moddex does not supply standard parts for this 
type of tube.
|-
| Heavy Duty</b>
| MD504HD

MD504.6500HD

MD504B.6500HD
| Stanchions that are supporting CB panels with an overall 
height equal to or larger than 1500mm
| Heavy Duty pipes are only used as stanchions and can fit standard Moddex 100 & 200 series fittings.

|-
| 32Nb
| MD503 (Straight)

MD592 (Rolled)

MD593 (Custom Bend)
| 32Nb pipes are used mainly in AR jobs that involve VIC 
primary schools which also means it has a max rail height of 
880mm, and if a lower handrail is required, 680mm
| 32Nb pipe are only used as handrail, not stanchions. They have their own pipe fittings that are standard Moddex parts.
In schools we only use 32Nb on double rail systems, this includes;
AR110, AR120, AR130, AR140, AR160, CB50, and CB55.

<b>Welding</b>

When welding, the only material that needs black is steel.
Materials such as aluminum and stainless steel do not need or have black pipes.
