| 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.

| 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.
