Radius Rod Polished 1/2 ODx5/16x.080 Wall 13in

The Radius Rod Polished 1/2 ODx5/16x.080 Wall 13in suspension tube is a precision-engineered aluminum component designed for marine engineering, boat repair, and custom fabrication applications. Built by M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS, this 13-inch aluminum suspension tube serves as a structural or functional element in marine systems where lightweight strength and corrosion resistance are critical. Anglers and boaters rely on suspension tubes like this to maintain the integrity of motor mounts, brace assemblies, and other load-bearing applications where salt water and constant vibration demand materials that won't degrade.

This suspension tube features a 1/2-inch outer diameter with a 5/16-inch wall thickness of 0.080 inches, delivering a favorable strength-to-weight ratio that matters on the water. The polished aluminum finish resists oxidation and maintains a professional appearance even in harsh marine environments, while the 5/16-24 female thread allows secure fastening to compatible components without additional adapters. Weighing only 0.13 pounds, this compact 13-inch tube minimizes weight penalty while providing rigid support where flex or movement would compromise performance or safety.

Boaters upgrading motor mounts, fabricating custom fishing rod holders, or repairing structural supports will find this tube ideal for projects requiring a lightweight, corrosion-resistant spacer or brace. The 5/16-24 female thread integrates seamlessly with standard fasteners and threaded studs commonly found in marine hardware. Whether you're reinforcing a gunwale assembly, creating vibration-damping spacers, or engineering a custom mounting solution for electronics or tackle storage, the polished finish and aluminum construction ensure longevity in salt spray and freshwater conditions alike.
