Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02255651 is a flat aluminum plate cut from Alloy 6061 stock, measuring 8 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 0.25 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy known for its good strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. This plate is suited for fabrication, repair, and structural applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade work. At 1.8 pounds, it is easy to handle and transport. Machinists, fabricators, and skilled tradespeople use this stock for brackets, spacers, backing plates, and custom components requiring a lightweight yet durable metal substrate.

This aluminum plate is appropriate for light structural, enclosure, and general fabrication applications in both residential and commercial settings. It is commonly used when a flat, machinable aluminum surface is needed for custom brackets, mounting plates, heat sinks, or repair stock. The 8 by 8 inch footprint and quarter-inch thickness make it a practical choice for shop work or field fabrication where standard stock dimensions are required.
