Can I use this to repair metal tubing found in a seat from a full-size van? The tubing supports the weight of a person. What size rod should I use?

I would use 1/16 rod and set the welder to a lower setting so you do not burn through the thin piping of the seat. I have used it to weld exhaust pipes. It works but hve to be careful not to burn through the material.

7018 welding rod I'd us 1/16 inch thick but its hard to strike an arch with rod 3/16 inch or bigger so 1/16 to 1/8 thick rod works good... you could also try 1/16 6013 but the 7018 I believe burns best

It's made of plastic, about 3/8ths diameter and very sturdy. Nice thing about that is that should it ever develop problems it should be very easy to find a replacement piece of plastic tubing to fix it with!Good luckBrian

I found no problem with the rod. The seat was a great improvement over the hard bench and having a seat back was fantastic. Things are tough but also heavy.

i have never used that rod so i would not have any feedback for you. a sturdy lightweight rod with a sensitive tip should be fine.

I would also recommend the tailgate assist rod. Due to the added weight. It's a great accessory.

I have the old metal tub covered in porcelain and the clamp is very tight. I would not recommend tightening it on a fiberglass tub tight enough to be a good support. So, my answer is "no". The manufacturer might have another type of clamp that could be tightened.

Yeah but make sure you measure each piece of the rod when they are broken down... they probably are not perfectly even... otherwise, should just fit...

I returned mine because it was too long. It is made for a 2 piece rod. Diameter was good for any rod.

No sure the weight limit because I was not able to put clothes on mine it was missing parts had to send back. It is made out of pretty good metal not plastic like some of the others I saw online. The hook to hang was too small for my rod but was going to just bend it out alittle. I ended up just putting up a wood rod because it was too short to hang men's shirts from

I doubt it, but it probably depends on how large the rod is. The attaching mechanism is made for a round bar, so it probably would be wobbly even if it would go over a square bar. I wouldn't chance it if I were you, unless you want to replace your bar for a round one.

The rod is adjustable from 52-71 inches. Sounds like you need a smaller one.

it should work fine with that rod . i am useing it with a little bigger rod but that shoud work just fine.

I cannot answer this question, because the width for where I am using the rod is not that wide. I would err on the side of caution and go with the 72" maximum.

I looked at the manufacturers web site and it says this rod is only good for 58" to 60.5" shower installations. Back when I was searching on Amazon for mine I saw some other options that would work for you. Just keep looking. Good luck.

I would have to measure to make sure. My rails seemed pretty thin, but they fit a little too snugly into to small sized bracket and make the plastic. But they're working, so I'll just order the larger one if/when these break. I also looked in an RV catalog and could not find great specs on which one to get.

you can do it. Use 1/16 rod and keep amperage low. If this works out try 5/64 rod. I recommend 6013.

The 65 or 50 should work for you ,90 might be a little bit too heavy for your rod
