Starrett 54884 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x1-1/4x3/32 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54884 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 24 inches long, 1-1/4 inches wide, and 3/32 inch thick. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, this flat stock delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with tightly controlled tolerances: plus 0.625 inches on length, plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches on width, and plus or minus 0.001 inches on both thickness and squareness. Weighing 0.79 pounds, it is sized for single-piece use in fabrication, repair, and maintenance applications. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC fabricators, and general metalworkers rely on this type of bar stock for brackets, shims, straps, and structural supports requiring reliable low carbon steel.

This flat stock is suited for light fabrication tasks across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Typical applications include custom bracket fabrication, HVAC duct supports, plumbing hangers, electrical panel supports, and general sheet metal work. The C1010 low carbon composition makes it easy to cut, drill, weld, and form with standard shop tools. The 24-inch length provides a practical working section for most single-component fabrication jobs without requiring initial resizing.

Installation Notes

Installation and fabrication should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate cutting, drilling, or welding equipment for low carbon steel. Wear proper PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Deburr all cut edges before fitting to avoid contact injuries and to ensure proper seating in assemblies. Verify dimensional requirements against the job specification before cutting, as cut material cannot be returned to original length.
