Telescopic Tubes with 1/4-20 Female Threads on Both Ends

Testrite Aluminum manufactures telescopic aluminum tubes that each featuring female 1/4‑20 threaded fittings on both ends—perfect for seamless mounting, modular builds, and effortless integration into a variety of custom setups.

Why You'll Love These Tubes

  • Dual Threaded Ends: Both tube ends are equipped with 1/4‑20 female threads, allowing you to connect accessories, connectors, or other components with ease.

  • Versatile Applications: Ideal for lightweight frames, display structures, countertop fixtures, camera rigs, and more.

  • Simple Assembly: The threaded ends eliminate the need for adhesives or custom machining—just screw on your parts and you're ready to go.

  • Expandable Sizing: Select from various lengths and sectional configurations to match the scale and reach your project requires.

  • Telescopic Tube Locking Options: Our B Split Collar lock is our strongest lock with a knob to tighten. Our L Lever Lock offers the simplicity of one handed opening and closing with great strength. The holding power of the L lock can be adjusted. The G lock is a less expensive locking option that offers cost efficiency, with the tradeoff being a weaker hold and without the adjustability of the L Lever Lock.

Key Features (Exemplified by the TBVCMTE 24" Model)

  • Compact 2‑section design: A slender 3/8″ tube nests inside a 1/2″ tube, both with female 1/4‑20 threads pre-installed. 

  • Adjustable Reach: Extends up to 24″ and collapses down to approximately 13‑3/4″ — perfect for tight storage or when full extension isn’t needed.

  • Locking Mechanism: Equipped with an A‑Style clutch lock to hold the extended position firmly.

  • Lightweight & Durable: Crafted from thin‑wall aluminum, available in satin silver or matte black finishes for a clean, professional look.

  • Made for Custom Builds: These tubes are bulk‑packed and ideal for custom fabrication or quick prototypes. Additional sizes, locks, and connectors are also available for tailored solutions.

  • Note - Most of the tubes on this page feature our press fit "star" fittings. If you need qty 25 or more and need a more robust design, you can request a quote for a custom Telescopic Tube manufactured by TestriteOEM with solid aluminum bushings, which are a stronger form of connection and can be made for nearly any thread size in volume.
