Value Collection 05207402 Aluminum Bar 36x2x1.5 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207402 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar made from 6061 alloy, a versatile heat-treatable aluminum alloy used across fabrication, structural, and maintenance applications. This bar measures 36 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches. At 10.8 pounds, it provides substantial material mass suitable for machining, welding, or direct use as structural stock. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors often keep flat aluminum bar on hand for custom brackets, supports, mounting plates, and fabricated components. This piece ships as a single-piece package at the listed quantity.

This aluminum rectangular bar is appropriate for general trade and industrial use where corrosion resistance, machinability, and moderate strength are required. Common applications include fabricating equipment mounting supports, channel reinforcements, structural bracing, and custom parts in mechanical rooms, equipment pads, and utility installations. The 6061 alloy designation makes it suitable for welding and anodizing when finished surface treatment is needed. It is used by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general contractors working in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• 6061 aluminum alloy provides good corrosion resistance and weldability
• 36-inch length gives adequate stock for most custom fabrication cuts
• 1.5-inch thickness supports structural and load-bearing bracket applications
• Plus or minus 0.25 inch length tolerance suitable for field-fabricated parts
• Sold as a single piece with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose aluminum flat bar stock compatible with standard metalworking, fabrication, and trade installation applications where 6061 aluminum rectangular profiles are specified.

Installation Notes

This material is typically cut, drilled, or shaped by the installing trade using standard metalworking tools such as band saws, drill presses, and angle grinders. Always deburr cut edges before installation to prevent injury and to ensure proper fitment against mounting surfaces. When used in electrical or mechanical enclosures, verify that aluminum contact with dissimilar metals is managed to prevent galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable codes and project specifications for structural fastening and load ratings.
