Fast Tube 12″ Column Form

Fab-Form Fast-Tube® is a utility fabric column form for forming round concrete columns. It is made from high-density, high-strength polyethylene and comes in diameters from 8″ to 18″. Each size is available as a 10 ft roll for smaller jobs or a 100 ft roll for larger ones. Cut the length you need from the roll, pour, and strip the form by pulling the alignment tab.

The round shape turns all of the concrete’s pressure into pure tension around the form, with no bending and no shear. The material has an ultimate tensile strength of 163 lb per lineal inch. A 12″ Fast-Tube® filled with 12 ft of concrete has a safety factor of 217%.

Benefits:

• Saves materials: cut any length from the roll with no waste, then recycle the form as an under-slab membrane
• Saves labor: strips in seconds and weighs 10% as much as cardboard tubes
• Saves time: pull the alignment tab and the form comes off, with no peeling or chiselling cardboard
• Saves money: costs about a third as much as cardboard column forms
• Saves space: ships flat in 1% of the space of cardboard tubes
• Weatherproof: leave it out in the rain, because moisture won’t damage it
• Two roll sizes: buy a 10 ft roll for a few columns or a 100 ft roll for a full project
