Class C Star Shell Tube

These tubes were made to be used in consumer fireworks ("Class C") mortar tubes. There's no "standard" consumer mortar tube size. So, be sure and measure the inside diameter (ID) of your tubes to make sure the fit will be right. Keep in mind that finishing these tubes will add a little more to the outside of the tube after taping.

If you want to buy mortar tubes to go with these tubes, our HDPE and fiberglass Festival Ball mortars will work perfectly.

How to Make Cardboard Mortar Tubes Last a Long Time

General purpose casing

#100 Heavy shell tube

#100 Star shell tube (with one cap glued on)

We bought a pile of these tubes from a fireworks factory who were not using them any more.

They come with end caps glued on one end of each tube. Unfortunately, we don't have a matching cap for them. But you can use a 2-1/8" disk, which we do stock.

Keep in mind that you will need to paste these shells in with tape, so whether or not you use disks or caps over the ends, everything will be hidden anyway. And we are certainly not going to tell anyone about your weird shell construction.

A great buy on these paper shells.

Make your cardboard mortar tubes last a lifetime.
