Plastic-Craft | Acrylic Round Tube, Clear, 3-3/4" (3.75") ID x 4" OD x 48" L

COMMON QUESTIONS: Q: Can this acrylic be cut with standard woodworking tools? A: Yes — cuts cleanly with a table saw, band saw, or router using a fine-tooth blade. Score-and-snap works for straight cuts on thinner sheets. Always use a slow feed rate to prevent chipping. Q: Will this acrylic yellow or crack outdoors? A: Cast acrylic resists UV yellowing significantly better than extruded. Both grades maintain clarity for years in typical outdoor applications. For extended direct sun exposure, a UV-protective coating is recommended. Q: How does the clarity of this acrylic compare to glass? A: 92% light transmission — actually clearer than standard glass, with significantly better impact resistance. Ideal for display cases, picture frames, sneeze guards, and anywhere optical clarity matters. This clear acrylic round tube delivers 92% light transmission, optical-grade clarity, and an 1/8" wall thickness that balances rigidity with workability. With a 3-3/4" ID and 4" OD at 48" length, it's a go-to choice for display cases, light diffusers, aquarium plumbing, fluid handling, and scientific apparatus. Tensile strength of 8,000 PSI and a service range of -40°F to 180°F make it dependable across demanding environments. Stocked and ships from West Nyack, NY. Fabricators appreciate how easily acrylic tube machines — cut it with a fine-tooth saw blade, bond sections with solvent cement, or thread and drill with standard bits. It accepts polishing beautifully for seamless joints and display-ready finishes. ASTM D4802 compliant and 100% PMMA composition ensure consistent, repeatable results whether you're building one prototype or a production run.
