Pre And Post Tube Bending Threading Customized to Meet Your Needs
Tube threading involves creating screw-threaded ends to form tubing assemblies and create secure connections between fittings. Triad Products offers custom-made tube threading solutions to meet your specific application requirements. Our skilled tubing specialists utilize specialized machinery that allows us to create custom pre-and post-bend threading in quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of pieces. Triad’s tube threading process is a secondary value-added operation done in conjunction with a larger project. We offer the unique advantage of threading tubes after the bending process. This specialized capability offers higher-quality tubing components that secure connections while reducing leaks and exposed threading.

The Importance of Choosing Custom Tube Threading Services
Tube threading involves creating screw-threaded ends for assembly and is used for a variety of OEM applications. Threaded tubing that is mass-produced or purchased through large retailers often comes in standard thread lengths that are too long or short for your application. The result is less secure fittings and unsightly exposed threading on appliances and decorative lighting fixtures.
Additionally, tube benders located overseas may offer threaded tubes, but their threaded products are almost exclusively produced in bulk. This means that customers must select a tubing option that is “good enough” for their needs.

Tube Threading For Lighting Fixtures, Electrical Conduits & More
Pre-Bend and Post-Bend Tube Threading Services
Electrical applications typically involve adding a straight tube threading, while plumbing applications usually require a tapered tube threading. Straight tube threading is not self-sealing and is commonly for electrical tubing applications. When used for plumbing, straight threaded tubes must be used with a plastic or rubber seal to prevent leakage. Triad specializes in straight tube threading for multiple industries. Specific use cases include but are not limited to:
- Decorative light fixtures
- Electrical conduits
- Plumbing fixtures
- Commercial shower fixtures
- Fire sprinkles & More

Customized Tube Threading that Meets Your Specifications
Our specialized machinery allows us to do custom pre-and post-bend threading in quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of pieces. We can quickly and efficiently add customized threads to bent tubing to match your requirements. Our in-house machining capabilities allow us to inspect tubing for quality at each step of the manufacturing process. We can add threads to tube ends, center sections, and any other part of the tubing that needs it. We take a number of factors into consideration prior to creating a tubing prototype, such as:
- Threaded section length
- Thread pitch
- Thread depth
- Materials used
Threading Tubes Pre-Bending vs. Post-Bending
Threaded tube bending involves first threading the tube and then placing it into a piece of equipment for bending. If not done carefully, the threading can be damaged during the bending process. This can especially be an issue in high-volume, fully automated processes. Threading pre-bent tubing eliminates these issues by first bending the tubing and then adding customized threading to the ends.
By researching their production capabilities, quality standards, expertise, and customer service, you will know all you need to select the right OEM supplier for your business. Our skilled machinists will work with you to determine which tube threading process is best for your application. Still have questions? Connect with an expert!
