Description: To avoid order cancellation, PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS: For buyers outside the San Francisco Bay region: In addition to the cost of the tubes and eBay's shipping fee calculated at checkout, there is a separate FedEx freight cost. The amount is determined AFTER checkout and the buyer may request cancellation after seeing the freight cost. ---------- Freight Instructions (after checkout is complete for buyers not within the San Francisco Bay area): Preferred Freight Payment Option: Most banks are already enrolled in a free money transfer service which has various names in online banking apps such as split-a-bill, instant transfer, or Zel. This is the preferred method for submitting freight payment. Verify your bank account is enrolled and that the phone number in your eBay shipping address matches the phone number that is enrolled at your bank. After checking out on eBay, a freight payment request will be sent to the Buyer's phone number. Some users will receive the request on their phone as a bank notification. Other banks require the user to login to their bank account and check Recent Activity. The request will be sent within 1 business day of checkout and is valid for 1 month. The bank will have instructions on how to confirm and fulfill the request. For security reasons, the Seller will NOT message a buyer to send freight money to an unknown number. Instead, wait for the request to appear at one's bank with the Seller's verified information. Cancellations / Non Payment of Freight: A full refund of the eBay order will be issued if 1.) Buyer is unable to receive a freight payment request outside eBay 2.) or freight request remains unpaid. Freight payment is refundable up until the order ships. After the order ships, freight payment is non-refundable and is outside the eBay Money back guarantee. eBay items can be returned in original condition within 30 days for a full refund of the eBay transaction. If the Buyer decides to return the item(s), the Buyer's freight & return freight cost is outside of eBay's free return / Money Back guarantee policy. Freight is determined by FedEx's economy freight rate tool. The minimum freight amount to the Mid-West USA is typically $700. =========================== Volume Discount Automatically Calculated!

(Collector manifold is sold separately.) *This item ships freight-free to most of N California, W Nevada, and S Oregon using a Door-Dash type white glove courier service. *If you are unsure on freight/shipping, you may contact the seller before placing order to determine if it's possible to ship to your Zip code with or without freight.** Several pallets remain of 58 mm x 1800 mm tubes, unused, brand new, free daily shipping from California, available now. This is the large 6 foot size, usually for the big 30 tube collectors. These tubes have been tested for multiple winters and summers and have never had one break or fail or loss of vacuum. They're great quality with a heavy solid conductor inside. They'll last years, if not decades. The efficiency is incredible, as compared to PV solar. They're actually so efficient, that laying one tube out in the shade risks burning one's hand because they capture so much heat! How do they compare to flat plate collectors? These perform better than flat plate collectors for the same amount of surface space (in California), and are actually stronger over the long run than flat plate. These were tested in California side by side with flat plate collectors They're also light enough that one person can carry and install them. They will work better in fog than flat plate collectors. Better rain and dew flow-off Little to no frost accumulation (can take hours for frost to burn off flat plate collectors) If a tube breaks (such as getting hit by a baseball), simply pop it out and install another, or leave it that way -- the entire system continues to run near normal. Whereas if the glass on a flat plate collector breaks, the entire system is nonoperational. And most importantly: Evacuated tubes don't FREEZE or need antifreeze. DHW solar installers know: one bad freeze or power outage destroys flat plate collectors across entire regions (has happened before in California), whereas tubes are foolproof in regards to freezing. Several manifolds are also available. Check seller's Other Items. SRCC certified. Certificate available. The total length of tube, with copper rod sticking out at end, is approx 75 inches (6 foot 3). Rod length is adjustable. The reason the seller is getting rid of the tubes is because a large shipment was sent for the intention of heating a major facility (combination of thermal heat via radiators and radiant flooring, as well as DHW). . These were not designed for cooking, as the diameter is slightly larger than a pill bottle. However there's great vertical volume in the tube and the bottom silicone gasket plus copper conductor element easily pops out for access to the inner chamber. Simply insert the rod back inside tube when needed. Solid copper element is heavy enough to be repurposed as grounding rod, lightning conductor, recycled, etc. Caution, tube is glass. Element can reach hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit, do not let children play with unsupervised. Vacuum integrity can be confirmed by visual observation. If the top of the tube has a silverly appearance (as depicted in the photos), the vacuum is intact. It's normal for the solid copper rod to have some tarnish at the bottom where it's exposed. Simply wipe it down or apply thermal grease. Weight is 8.5 pounds. Tube is very long, caution when handling. A box of 10 or 15 weights approximately 115-150 lbs including pallet.
