Taco Metals Tubing

Taco Metals Tubing: Marine-Grade Pipe for Serious Fabricators

When it comes to building or restoring structural components on a boat, the tubing you choose is foundational — literally. Taco Metals has been one of the marine industry's most trusted sources for high-quality pipe and tubing since the company's founding in 1959, earning a reputation that spans boat builders, marine fabricators, repair yards, and serious DIYers alike.

Marine tubing from Taco Metals is engineered specifically for the demands of the on-water environment, where salt air, UV exposure, and constant vibration can degrade lesser materials in a single season. Taco meets these challenges with a focus on premium metals and tight manufacturing tolerances that translate directly into longer-lasting, safer structures.

What Sets Taco Metals Tubing Apart

Taco Marine offers heavy-duty aluminum tubing ideal for fabricating towers, frames, and rails, with an extensive range of rail fittings and accessories that connect Taco aluminum pipe into strong, corrosion-resistant structures. This systems-level thinking — offering tubing alongside compatible fittings and hardware — means fabricators can source everything they need from a single, consistent product family rather than mixing and matching components from different manufacturers.

Taco's marine-grade aluminum round tubing is assembled into custom T-tops and radar arches, and with Taco's anodized rail fittings, builders can install handrails, rod holders, and other accessories directly onto Taco pipe frameworks. This makes the tubing a natural backbone for a wide variety of marine structures, from simple grab rails to complex multi-level tower builds.

Taco has earned a reputation as a "single source supplier" to specialty vehicle and marine manufacturers for aluminum and plastic extrusion needs as well as stainless steel shapes and tubing, stainless fittings, hinges, and custom hardware — providing finished products and complete secondary fabrication so parts are ready to be received and installed, saving time and money.

Precision Manufacturing You Can Rely On

At Taco Metals, a large selection of standard and specialty extrusions as well as custom finished shapes is offered, and the CNC machine center operates 24/7, producing close-tolerance, precision-made parts, with high-speed multi-axis mills and lathes providing operational efficiencies and flexibility for both short and long runs. For the end user, this means tubing that meets consistent dimensional standards — critical when cutting, bending, or fitting pipe in the field.

Taco Marine products stand out due to their exceptional durability, precision engineering, and innovative designs, with the company integrating advanced manufacturing techniques to produce stainless steel and aluminum components that exceed industry standards.
