Part No. TU3583 3.500" × 0.083" Wall DOM Steel Tubing, sold by the foot

TU3583 -- 3.500" x 0.083" DOM Steel Tube

Among the 3.500" OD DOM tube options, TU3583 carries the thinnest standard wall at 0.083". Thinner walls mean lower rotational inertia, which reduces the energy required to accelerate the driveshaft -- relevant in performance and racing applications where parasitic drivetrain losses are minimized. The tradeoff is reduced torsional capacity: the thinner wall yields at lower torque than 0.095" or 0.134" walls in the same diameter. Verify that your powertrain peak torque does not exceed this tube's capacity before selecting it over TU3595 or TU35134.
