Heavyweight Fireworks
The 3" Fiberglass Mortar Tube from American Wholesale Fireworks is a durable, professional-grade launch tube designed for properly sized 3-inch aerial display shells. Its fiberglass construction provides a strong yet manageable mortar that works well as a replacement tube or as part of a properly designed custom mortar rack.
With an outside length of 17.875 inches, 17-inch inside length, 0.80-inch bottom plug, and a gross weight of approximately 2 pounds, this tube offers a compact and dependable option for professional display equipment.
Fiberglass mortar tubes are widely used in professional fireworks applications because they combine strength, durability, and manageable weight. Compared with heavier alternatives, fiberglass makes transporting and configuring multiple mortar tubes easier for display crews.
Fiberglass also behaves differently than rigid metal or PVC materials during certain catastrophic malfunctions, tending to split or shred rather than create the same type of sharp fragmentation associated with some rigid materials.
This individual 3-inch fiberglass mortar tube is a practical choice for professional crews looking to build properly engineered mortar rack configurations or replace compatible tubes in existing equipment.
Its approximately 2-pound weight makes it convenient when multiple mortars need to be transported and incorporated into larger display setups.
Always use this mortar only with properly sized and compatible 3-inch aerial shells. Never fire an undersized shell from an oversized mortar, as improper shell-to-mortar fit can create extremely hazardous firing conditions.
Inspect the mortar before every use and do not use any tube showing cracks, structural damage, deterioration, plug damage, or other defects. Mortars must be properly installed, supported, and used according to applicable professional procedures, regulations, permits, and manufacturer requirements.
