Value Collection 05207469 Aluminum Bar 36x3x1 Alloy 6061

Product Description

The Value Collection 05207469 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 36 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable aluminum alloy widely used in structural and fabrication applications where strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability are all required. At 10.84 pounds per bar, this stock size suits a broad range of cutting, drilling, and milling operations. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inches. HVAC equipment fabricators, plumbing supply shops, electrical panel shops, and general contractors use bar stock like this for brackets, supports, standoffs, and custom fittings.

This bar is suited for both shop fabrication and field use. Common applications include equipment mounting frames, structural gussets, heat sink blanks, and custom support hardware in mechanical, plumbing, and electrical installations. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for most single-component cuts without additional material joining. The 3-inch width and 1-inch thickness give the bar enough cross-section for load-bearing bracket and frame fabrication in light commercial and residential trade work.

Installation Notes

Standard metalworking tools including band saws, miter saws with non-ferrous blades, drill presses, and milling machines are appropriate for cutting and shaping this bar. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding aluminum. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and material damage. Follow applicable local mechanical or structural codes when using bar stock as a structural or load-bearing component.
