Pipe Types

Type of Pipe Associated Codes Where it’s Applied Description
Standard 40Nb MD504 (Straight) 
  MD598 (Rolled)
  MD599 (Custom Bend) || Most jobs || 40Nb pipe is the standard   pipe used on products at Moddex.
  40Nb pipe is steel/grade C250 that has a protective coating of G390 Hot-dip   Galvanized.
Powdercoated 
  ZP & PC || MDxxxPC
  P & F (ZP & PC)
  PO (ZP & PC) || Powdercoat can be applied   to jobs on customer request || ZP & PC is used on   black pipe. The pipe is sprayed with Zinc Prime (ZP) and then powdercoated   (PC).
  P & F stands for Pipes and Fittings
  PO stands for Pipes Only
Powdercoated

HDG & PC || MDxxxPC P & F (HDG & PC) 

  PO (HDG & PC) || Powdercoat can be applied   to jobs on customer request || HDG & PC is used on pipe that has been or will be hot-dipped galvanized (HDG), and then gets powdercoated (PC).
P & F stands for Pipes and Fittings
PO stands for Pipes Only
Green 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 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 MD498.T4 (Aluminium) 
  MD598 (HDG)

MD698-10 (Stainless Steel) || 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 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 TUFFRAIL 
  MD604 (Straight)
  MD698 (Rolled)
  MD699 (Custom bend)
  Other
  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 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.
50Nb MD505 (Straight Med) 
  MD505H (Straight Heavy Wall)
  MD505R (Rolled Heavy Wall)
  MD509H (Custom Bend Heavy Wall) || Top rail of Bridgerail || 50Nb is used mainly as the top rail of Bridgerail to follow AS5100, standard bridge design.
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.
Extra Light MD504.6500XL Used for extending MD201.48 and MD748.42 as a combo Extra light pipe is used in-between a MD201.48 and MD748.42 to extend the swivel railing bracket out when required.
