Can the tube be shortened and still work?

On the towel holder yes but the tube is hollow and you would need to get a very fine tooth saw. The amount cut off would be subtracted from the distance that is given in the install information on how far apart the hardware plates that are screwed into the wall.

Definitely, I cut a few inches off mine. Also, the template for placing the TP holder has the wall mounts a little too wide for my taste. That's any fix though, just something to consider.

I'm sure you could do this, but they are sharp on the ends (pointed) so it would be a lot of work to shorten them and leave a pointed end.

I would suggest try 3 tubes and do it religiously and if it doesn't work don't buy it again :)

Yes, it will work but it is going to be a major pain to remove the orginal shorter tube and install the new tube. Unless you have a gunsmith do it for you. I actually ended up purchasing the extension piece and it works very well.

Yes but they are short I recommend buying the extender kit and not opening it and seeing if the tubes that come with it are long enough if not open the kit

if the tube walls are straight i see no reason they can,t be cut.if ends are tapered don,t cut

No, it does not appear to be capable of being shortened due to the recoil pad. I wish I would of thought about that. I need a inch shorten due to cold winter gear I have on during hunting.

The plug is on the rigHT side. I don't think it can be shortened, other then zip ties, or splicing.

The end of the tube has 2 openings. No need for ends. At this price I have used mine for over a year with no problems.

It is fixed. One end has a threaded end that can be tightened up to the tension you want. The other end is fixed. Make sure overall length will be as long as the space needed. If it is too long just use a cutter on the non threaded end and cut to fit. The fixed end comes off so you can cut the tubing to fit the space needed, then just install the end over the tubing. I did that to mine and it has worked great for the last year or more.

Let me clarify. They have 2 wires you plug into each other so the wire can be shortened.

I don't see why it would not work. The IS in a long lens is not affected by the extension tubes as far as I can tell. If you're using a macro lens or a reverse-mounted lens, you would not have IS anyway.

This has a preformed plastic compression fittings on it; not made to be cut. If you do not see a shorter one, just leave the extra in a coil.

Yes. That is the beauty of this adapter versus the longer tube adapters. Thank you

No. It is shaped into an "L". You can extended the ends but the bend will never change

the tubing is aprox. 3 ft and i would not consider it replacable. the only way i can see to lengthen it is to possibly splice it in the center if you can find something to join it leak proof. i would not do it.
