Value Collection 05207626 Aluminum Bar 12x4x1 in Alloy 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207626 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, a general-purpose aluminum alloy widely used in structural, fabrication, and repair applications. The bar measures 12 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 1 inch thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. At 4.8 pounds, it offers a practical balance of machinability and strength. This stock material is used by machinists, fabricators, HVAC sheet metal shops, and maintenance trades needing a ready-cut aluminum flat bar for brackets, spacers, mounting plates, and similar components.

This aluminum rectangular bar suits a broad range of light industrial and trade applications. Common uses include custom HVAC equipment supports, electrical enclosure fabrication, plumbing fixture backing, and general structural repair work. Its 6061 alloy composition machines cleanly, accepts standard drilling and tapping, and welds with common aluminum filler alloys, making it a go-to stock shape for shops that cut to final dimension in-house.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 composition offers good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance
• Ready-cut at 12 inches long, reducing material prep time on the job
4 inch width and 1 inch thickness provide a solid cross-section for bracket and mounting plate applications
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches suits most rough-cut and finish-machined uses
• Sold as a single piece, eliminating minimum-quantity overstock for small jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stock aluminum flat bar suitable for use across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication applications where Alloy 6061 aluminum rectangular bar stock is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, or tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson using tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Deburr all cut edges before installation to avoid injury and to ensure proper fitment against mating surfaces. When used in structural or load-bearing applications, verify that the finished part meets applicable engineering specifications before installation. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting or grinding aluminum.
