Value Collection 02629392 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629392 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from alloy 6061-T6, a heat-treated wrought aluminum alloy widely used in structural and mechanical fabrication. The rod measures 1-3/8 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches. At 1.75 pounds, it is suited for bench-cut applications where a short, precise stock length is required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this stock to produce shafts, pins, spacers, standoffs, and structural support components across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical service applications.

This round rod is appropriate for light to medium structural fabrication, custom bracket work, and replacement part machining in residential and commercial maintenance environments. Its 6061-T6 temper designation indicates solution heat-treated and artificially aged material, which provides a useful balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. The 12-inch cut length makes it practical for single-component jobs or prototyping without requiring a full-length bar.

• 12-inch length is ready for immediate bench cutting or lathe work
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches as supplied
• Weighs 1.75 pounds — manageable for single-tech handling and transport
• UNSPSC Code 30102406 for procurement and inventory classification

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose aluminum round bar stock suitable for machining, fabrication, and replacement part production across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of aluminum round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Eye protection and chip containment are standard practice when turning or sawing aluminum stock. Deburr all cut ends before installation in any assembly. Verify dimensional requirements against final application tolerances before machining to finished size.
