16'1" - Aluminum Double Tube

161" West Coast Aluminum Double Tube (Custom Extrusion) - Green Code

CELINA's 161" West Coast aluminum double tube is a heavy-duty frame component engineered for West Coast - style frame tent systems that require added rigidity and consistent fit. Built from a custom aluminum extrusion and drilled to accept standard West Coast frame tent fittings, this tube is designed for fast field assembly, dependable strength, and repeatable performance across rental cycles. If you're replacing a damaged member, rebuilding a section, or maintaining a consistent frame inventory, using the correct double tube keeps your system aligned and your installation process smooth.

What the Double Tube Is Used For

In West Coast frame systems, tubing isn't just “pipe” - it's the structural backbone that ties tees, corners, and other fittings together and keeps the frame geometry true. The double tube profile (a wider custom extrusion) is commonly specified where additional stiffness is needed, helping the frame resist flex and stay properly indexed during setup and under canopy tension. Properly matched tubing also supports cleaner installs by maintaining consistent bay spacing and connection points, reducing the headaches that show up when mixed or incorrect components are used.

Made for West Coast Fittings

This 161" tube is pre-drilled to accept West Coast frame tent fittings. Fittings can be secured using the hardware standard your crew already runs - R-Pins, Pin & Bail, or bolts depending on configuration. Pre-drilled alignment helps parts seat correctly, speeds up build time, and helps prevent “forced fit” situations that can damage holes, pins, or fittings over time.

Color Coding for Faster Sorting

In busy rental operations, speed comes from organization. This tube is color coded for easy identification, with green paint inside the tubing to help crews quickly confirm they have the right piece when staging parts, loading trucks, or building multiple frames at once.

Key Benefits

• Custom extrusion strength: Double tube profile supports a more rigid frame where specified.
• Consistent compatibility: Drilled to accept West Coast frame tent fittings for proper alignment.
• Faster installs: Designed for quick pinning/bolting with common West Coast connection methods.
• Rental-ready durability: Built to handle repeated setup, teardown, transport, and storage cycles.
• Easy identification: Green internal color code reduces mis-picks and staging errors.

Compatibility & Fitment Notes

This tube is intended for West Coast - style frame tent systems that use the specified double tube extrusion. If you are matching an existing fleet, confirm your system calls for a 2.0" x 3.875" outside profile with 1.75" ID. Using correct tubing helps protect your fittings and hardware by ensuring pins and bolts seat cleanly and connections stay properly aligned.

Handling Tips

• Inspect drilled holes and tube ends during prep so pins/bolts seat smoothly.
• Keep color-coded components grouped to speed staging and reduce setup delays.
• Maintain a consistent hardware standard across crews to avoid missing or mismatched pins.
