Sakrete Builder's Tube 8IN x 8FT
HANDI-FORM TUBE 8" X 8' CA$19.28/EAProduct Overview
EasyPour™ Concrete Forming Tubes are professional-grade fibre forms built to handle the full hydrostatic pressure of a single continuous pour. Weather Shield™ moisture-resistant adhesive keeps the tube structurally sound in wet jobsite conditions. Available in diameters from 150 mm (6 in) to 1500 mm (60 in) with standard and heavy wall thicknesses, EasyPour tubes are the professional's choice for columns, piers, pilings, and footings on demanding concrete projects.
When the project calls for larger diameters, taller pours, or exposure to tough jobsite conditions, EasyPour™ forming tubes deliver the performance that professional contractors expect. Manufactured by Greif from recycled paperboard with Weather Shield™ moisture-resistant adhesive, these tubes maintain structural integrity in wet environments where standard forming tubes can soften and fail.
EasyPour tubes are engineered for a single continuous pour at full hydrostatic pressure — no staged pours, no waiting between lifts. The poly inside ply allows clean stripping without form-release agents when a finished concrete surface is required, making them ideal for exposed columns and architectural piers where surface quality matters.
Preparation & Installation
Select the correct tube diameter and wall thickness for your project. Standard wall thickness is rated for pours up to 3.7 m (12 ft); heavy wall thickness handles pours over 9.1 m (30 ft). Place the tube in the excavation or formwork, check plumb, and brace securely. For taller pours, ensure adequate bracing to resist the hydrostatic pressure of wet concrete. Tubes can be placed manually or by crane depending on size. Pour concrete (such as STRONGSET™ or 6K STRONGSET™ for smaller diameters, or ready-mix for larger commercial pours) in a single continuous placement. Pouring rate is based on tube size and specific jobsite conditions. Consolidate per standard concrete placement practices.
Concrete Fill Reference (Common Residential Sizes)
Approximate number of 30 kg (66 lb) bags of PIVIT concrete per tube, based on a yield of 0.014 m³ (0.5 ft³) per bag (STRONGSET™ or 6K STRONGSET™).

Key Features
- Weather Shield™ technology: Moisture-resistant adhesive keeps the tube structurally sound in wet conditions — outperforms tubes made with non-moisture-resistant adhesive.
- Full hydrostatic pressure rated: Designed to hold the full pressure load of concrete in a single continuous pour — no staged pours required.
- Wide diameter range: Available from 150 mm (6 in) to 1500 mm (60 in) for residential through commercial and industrial applications.
- Standard and heavy wall thickness: Standard wall to 3.7 m (12 ft) pours; heavy wall to over 9.1 m (30 ft) pours.
- Poly inside ply: Allows easy stripping without form-release agents for a clean finished concrete surface.
- Handles concrete vibrations: Tube strength withstands extensive mechanical vibration during consolidation.
- LEED qualified: Made from recycled paperboard produced from Greif's own mills.
- Lightweight and easy to handle: Store, transport, and erect with minimal equipment. Larger sizes can be placed by crane.
