Stainless steel supply.
Stainless items sit in four of our lines — steel, valves, fittings and fasteners. This page puts them in one place: round bar, flat bar, angle bar, sheet and plate, pipe, square and rectangular tube with the wall thicknesses, expanded metal, Kitz stainless valves, float valves and stainless bolts. 304 for most work, 316 near the sea and for chemical service. Cut to length or size on request, and delivered from Dasmariñas, Cavite — including Cebu City, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu by sea freight.

Stainless is wrapped and kept apart from carbon steel in the crate so it does not pick up rust marks in transit. Freight is quoted with the order.
What to send for a quote
- Item, size and wall or thickness for each line, and the quantity in pieces or metres
- Grade — 304 or 316 — and whether you need the mill certificate
- Finish for sheet and tube where it matters (2B, No. 4 brushed, mirror)
- Cut lengths or cut sizes, if any
- Site address, so the quote includes delivery or sea freight
Bar, angle, sheet, pipe, tube, expanded metal, Kitz and general stainless valves, fittings and fasteners are stocked or sourced from Dasmariñas, Cavite and delivered nationwide. Send the list and we quote it back the same day.
Common questions
304 or 316 stainless near the sea?
Use 316 within a few kilometres of the coast, around pools and for chemical or salt service. It carries 2 to 3 percent molybdenum, which resists chloride pitting that leaves brown spots on 304. Inland, indoors and for most water lines, 304 does the job at a lower price.
Why does some stainless rust?
Three usual causes: a 200-series grade (such as 201) sold as stainless, with less nickel and chromium; iron dust from carbon-steel grinding discs, brushes or tools left on the surface; and salt air on 304. Ask for the grade on the quote and the mill certificate, and keep stainless tools for stainless work.
Can you cut stainless to length or size?
Yes. Bar, angle, pipe and tube come in 6.0 m lengths and are cut to your lengths on request; sheet and expanded metal come in 4 × 8 ft and are cut to size. Send the cut list with the quote request.
Which welding rod for stainless?
E308 or ER308L filler for 304, E316 or ER316L for 316, and E309 when joining stainless to mild steel. The L grades keep carbon low so the weld does not lose corrosion resistance.
Do you deliver stainless to Cebu?
Yes. Orders are consolidated in Dasmariñas, crated and shipped by sea freight to Cebu port, usually 5 to 10 days port to port, then delivered to site in Cebu City, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu or Talisay or held at the forwarder's depot. Freight is quoted with the order.
Do you supply mill certificates?
Yes — ask for the mill test certificate with your quote; it states the grade and the chemistry of the heat.
