Value Collection 02255693 Aluminum Plate 6061 8x8x3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02255693 is a flat aluminum plate cut from 6061 alloy stock, measuring 8 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 0.375 inches thick. At 2.7 pounds, it offers a solid balance of strength and light weight suited to fabrication, structural support, and repair applications. Alloy 6061 is a precipitation-hardened aluminum known for good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of trade and industrial tasks. The plate ships as a single unit and is ready for cutting, drilling, or welding to fit the job at hand.

This plate is commonly used in HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure fabrication, plumbing support structures, and general shop or field fabrication work. Its flat, square geometry makes it well suited as a base plate, gusset, or reinforcement component. Machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals across multiple trades work with 6061 aluminum plate for both structural and non-structural applications where weight savings over steel is a priority.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding should be performed by qualified fabricators or technicians using appropriate tooling for aluminum alloys. When used in structural or load-bearing applications, verify that the plate dimensions and alloy grade meet applicable engineering or code requirements for the installation. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury. Consult applicable standards such as AWS D1.2 for aluminum welding procedures when joining this plate to other components.
