Value Collection 02629442 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629442 is a solid aluminum round rod manufactured from 6061-T6 alloy, one of the most widely used structural aluminum grades in fabrication and repair work. Measuring 1.625 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, this rod delivers the strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance that machinists, welders, and general fabricators depend on for structural components, shafts, pins, and custom hardware. The 6061-T6 temper designation indicates a solution heat-treated and artificially aged condition, which produces a firm, stable material suitable for load-bearing and precision-machined applications.

This rod is a practical stock material for shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who need a reliable cut-to-size aluminum bar for brackets, standoffs, threaded rod blanks, or general structural repair. The 36-inch length suits bench work and saw cutting without excessive waste. Fabricators working in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support structures, electrical enclosure hardware, and pool equipment frames commonly use 6061-T6 round rod for custom-machined components where light weight and corrosion resistance are priorities.

Key Features

• 6061-T6 alloy temper provides high strength-to-weight ratio and good machinability
• 1.625-inch diameter suits a wide range of shaft, pin, and structural fabrication applications
• 36-inch length with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches
• Solid round cross-section compatible with lathe turning, drilling, tapping, and saw cutting
• Aluminum construction resists corrosion in moisture-exposed environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stock aluminum round rod suitable for fabrication, machining, and structural repair applications across trade industries where 6061-T6 aluminum bar stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining should be performed with tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the rod firmly in a vise or chuck before machining to prevent movement. When used in structural assemblies, consult applicable load and fastener specifications for the application. Deburr all cut ends before handling or installing in assemblies.
