ABSTRACT:
A tubular wall member useful for the erection of building structures comprises an end connector inserted into the open ends of a hollow tubular member. The end connector provides a flat, substantially circular front end portion and a rearward extending body portion comprising two spaced, matchingly notched, parallel plates. Tabs rearwardly extending from the periphery of the circular front end of the connector are provided with the rear end portion thereof bent upwardly and forward so that when the front of the end connector is inserted into the open end of the tubular member, the bent tabs contact the end of the tubular member. The height of the spaced parallel plates is greater than the opening of the tubular member such that when the end connectors are assembled with the tubular members by insertion thereinto and placed one upon each other, with the notch of one end connector fitted into the notch of another end connector, a spacer or gap is provided along the length of the superjacent assembled tubular members.
