Gatorshield® Plus galvanized tubing is manufactured using the same in-line galvanized process as our standard Gatorshield® tubing products. Gatorshield® Plus tubing offers even greater corrosion protection by applying zinc at the levels of (1.0 oz/sq ft +- .010 oz/sq ft). The product has been designed for use in straight applications in the most caustic of environments.
Typical Applications include:
- Towers
- Irrigation Systems
- Antennas
- Fabric Covered Buildings
- Outdoor Structures

Advanced Corrosion Protection
Allied’s signature process produces superior corrosion resistance by utilizing a triple layer of protection. First 99.99% pure zinc is applied followed by a conversion coating. Finishing the process is a clear organic topcoat that seals in the protection and produces a smooth, shiny appearance.
Fabrication
Gatorshield® Plus is capable of being fabricated using several different methods including hole punching, cutting, without the degradation of the coatings.
Weldability
Due to it 99% pure zinc coating; Gatorshield® Plus tubing can be easily welded. Contrary to popular belief, all galvanized products do not perform the same with regards to welding suitability. Weld performance is an important feature of Allied’s product line and one that has made it a success in several marketplaces for over 50 years.
Eliminate the Scrap Drop
There is nothing standard about our mill cut lengths. We produce the lengths that are required for your specific applications. Custom mill lengths from Allied allow you to minimize the scrap generated when having to cut standard lengths of pipe products.
