Lengths
Standard Weight |
|
|
Single Random — 16′ – 22′. 5% may be jointers. If Plain Ends — 5% may be 12′ – 16′. |
|
Double Random — Shortest Length 22′, minimum average for order 35′. |
Extra Strong and Double Extra Strong |
|
|
Single Random — 12′ -22′. 5% may be 6′ – 12′. |
|
Double Random (XS and lighter) — Shortest Length 22′, minimum average for order 35′. |
|
Lengths longer than single random with wall thicknesses heavier than XS subject to negotiation. |
